IMMULITE® 2000 CMV IgG is for in vitro use with the IMMULITE 2000 Analyzer - for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to cytomegalovinis (CMV) in human serum as an aid in the determination of serological status of CMV. This kit is not FDA cleared for use in testing (i.e. screening) blood or plasma donors.
Device Story
IMMULITE 2000 CMV IgG is an in vitro diagnostic reagent system used with the IMMULITE 2000 Automated Immunoassay Analyzer. It detects IgG antibodies to CMV in human serum. The device uses a solid-phase, two-step chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay. Patient samples are incubated with CMV antigen-coated polystyrene beads; CMV-specific IgG binds to the antigen. After washing, an alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human IgG antibody is added. A chemiluminescent substrate (phosphate ester of adamantyl dioxetane) is introduced; alkaline phosphatase hydrolyzes the substrate, producing light. A luminometer measures photon output, which is proportional to the amount of CMV IgG present. Results are qualitative, determined by comparing sample output to an established cutoff. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel to assess CMV serological status. Benefits include identifying past or current CMV exposure, aiding clinical management of patients at risk for severe CMV infection.
Clinical Evidence
Method comparison study performed on 229 human serum samples comparing IMMULITE 2000 CMV IgG to the predicate IMMULITE CMV IgG. Results showed 99.6% overall agreement, 100% relative sensitivity, and 100% relative specificity. No clinical prospective or retrospective outcome studies were required for this 510(k) clearance.
Technological Characteristics
Solid-phase, two-step chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay. Materials: polystyrene beads coated with partially purified CMV antigen. Energy source: electrical (automated analyzer). Detection: luminometer measuring photon output from adamantyl dioxetane hydrolysis. Connectivity: integrated with IMMULITE 2000 Automated Immunoassay Analyzer. Software: automated instrument control and signal processing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV) in human serum to determine serological status. Not for screening blood or plasma donors. Applicable to all ages, including neonates and immunocompromised individuals (e.g., cancer, organ transplant, AIDS patients).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Cytomegalovirus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to cytomegalovirus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by cytomegaloviruses (principally cytomegalic inclusion disease) and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Cytomegalic inclusion disease is a generalized infection of infants and is caused by intrauterine or early postnatal infection with the virus. The disease may cause severe congenital abnormalities, such as microcephaly (abnormal smallness of the head), motor disability, and mental retardation. Cytomegalovirus infection has also been associated with acquired hemolytic anemia, acute and chronic hepatitis, and an infectious mononucleosis-like syndrome.

IMMULITE® 2000 CMV IgG is a clinical use device intended for use with the IMMULITE® 2000 Automated Immunoassay Analyzer
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### Intended Use of the Device:
IMMULITE® 2000 CMV IgG is for in vitro use with the IMMULITE 2000 Analyzer - for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to cytomegalovinis (CMV) in human serum as an aid in the determination of serological status of CMV. This kit is not FDA cleared for use in testing (i.e. screening) blood or plasma donors.
### Summary and Explanation of the Test:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a member of the herpesvirus family, is found throughout the world. Humans of all ages are susceptible and infection is spread through sexual contact, direct exposure to infected body fluids, blood transfusions and organ transplants. The majority of infections are asymptomatic: however. CMV infections can be severe in neonates and immunocompromised individuals. Infection can also be severe in patients with congenital or acquired cellar immune defects, including cancer patients, organ recipients and AIDS patients.
CMV is the most common congenital infection, infecting between 0.5 and 2.5 percent of newborn infants. Five percent of these will develop classic cytomegalic inclusion disease with jaundice, pneumonia and central nervous system disorder. Infected infants may be asymptomatic at birth, but can develop neurological problems later in life.
Between 40 and 100 percent of people have detectable antibody, with the prevalence highest in developing countries.
#### Performance Equivalence - Technology Comparison:
IMMULITE® and IMMULITE® 2000 CMV IgG are chemiluminescent immunoassays. The technology in DPC's IMMULITE® 2000 CMV IgG is a unique combination of technologies employed in previously cleared and commercially marketed DPC products.
Both IMMULITE® and IMMULITE® 2000 CMV IgG assays are solid-phase, two step chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay. The sold phase, a polystyrene bead enclosed within an IMMULITE Test Unit/IMMULITE 2000 Reaction Tube is coated with partially purified CMV antigen.
One-in-twenty one prediluted patient sample for IMMULITE/instrument-diluted patient sample for IMMULITE 2000 and a protein-based buffer are simultaneously introduced into the Test Unit (IMMULITE)/Reaction Tube (IMMULITE 2000), and incubated for approximately 30 minutes at 37℃ with intermittent agitation. During this time, CMV-specific IgG in the sample binds to the CMV antigen-coated bead. Unbound serum is then removed by a centrifugal wash,
In both procedures, an alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human IgG antibody is introduced, and the Test Unit/Reaction Tube is incubated for another 30-minute cycle. The unbound enzyme conjugate is removed by a centrifugal wash. Substrate is then added, and the Test Unit/Reaction Tube is incubated for a further 10 minutes (IMMULITE)/5 minutes (IMMULITE 2000).
{2}------------------------------------------------
In both procedures, the chemiluminescent substrate, a phosphate ester of adamantyl dioxetane, undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of alkaline phosphatase to yield an unstable intermediate. The continuous production of this intermediate results in the sustained emission of light, thus improving precision by providing a window for multiple readings. The bound complex - and thus also the photon output, as measured by the luminometer - is related to the presence of CMV IgG in the sample. A qualitative result is then obtained by comparing the patient result to an established cutoff.
#### Performance Equivalence - Method Comparison:
The IMMULITE® 2000 CMV IgG procedure was compared to IMMULITE® CMV IgG on 229 samples, with the following result.
| | IMMULITE 2000 | | | | |
|---------------|---------------|---------------|-----|-----------------------|-------|
| IMMULITE | Pos | Indeterminate | Neg | | |
| Pos | 165 | 0 | 0 | Agreement: | 99.6% |
| Indeterminate | 0 | 0 | 1 | Relative Sensitivity: | 100% |
| Neg | 0 | 0 | 63 | Relative Specificity: | 100% |
#### Conclusion:
The data presented in this summary of safety and effectiveness is the data that the Food and Drug Administration used in granting DPC substantial equivalence for IMMULITE 2000 CMV IgG.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
