L. Test Principle:
The Mission U500 contains a Central Control Unit and Photoelectric Scanning Unit. When the urine test strip is recognized by a sensor, the strip feed motor transports the strip to a platform where it is adjusted for testing. Test strips are analyzed in the Photoelectric Scanning Unit by reflectance photometry at 525 nm and 635 nm. The signal is amplified and converted by an A/D converter. From there, the signal is sent to the Central Control Unit. The Central Control Unit functions include sending, receiving, storing and processing signals, and coordinating operation of every component of the analyzer.
The user operates the device via a touch screen which is used for all operations and for displaying test results.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Within run precision studies were performed by the sponsor using 2 commercially available urine controls at negative and positive ranges, and an ascorbic acid standard. The study was performed with three lots of urine test strips on three analyzers. Testing was performed in 10 replicates for each control level, for each lot, and on each analyzer for 10 days (n=300 per device). Within run and total precision for each device was 100% exact agreement. The results are summarized below:

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
The sponsor validated the reportable range for each color block by using negative urine samples spiked with commercially available reagents to the specific concentrations corresponding to the color chart for each of the 11 analytes on the Mission Urinalysis Reagent Strips. The negative urine samples and the spiked positive samples (except ascorbic acid, pH and specific gravity) were confirmed by Bayer Multistix 10 SG Reagent Strips and the Bayer Clinitek U500 Urine Analyzer. The concentration of ascorbic acid was confirmed with the predicate, the ACON U120 Urine Analyzer.
Each sample was tested with three lots of Mission Urinalysis Reagent Strips and 3 Mission® U500 Urine Analyzers. Each sample was tested in 5 replicates with each lot of urine test strips and analyzer for three consecutive days following the product insert. A total of 135 strips were used for each concentration tested (3 Analyzers x 3 days x 5 strips x 3 lot strips = 135 strips). Sensitivity was calculated as the number of exact color block on the Mission U500 / the total number of samples tested at the same expected value X $100\%$ . Sensitivity was also calculated for within $\pm 1$ color block using the same formula above, except tabulating the number of samples within 1 color block. All results matched $100\%$ between the new device and the expected results across the measuring range for each test pad. The measuring range for each assay is listed below in semi-quantitative and qualitative units. pH was confirmed by
{10}
pH meter and specific gravity was confirmed by refractometry.
The reportable ranges for protein, glucose, urobilinogen, and ketone are lower by one color block for the Mission U500 than for the visual read reportable ranges for the Mission Urinalysis Reagent Strips. In addition, the reportable range for pH includes 5.5 and 8.5 which are not included for visual reading of the test strips.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The Mission U500 performs a "self-test" and calibration each time it is turned on. Each time a test is run the analyzer re-calibrates using a white plastic calibration bar located at the bottom of the analyzer optical system. Reflectance measurements from the bar must match the factory set calibration.
Temperature and humidity operating conditions were evaluated for the test strips and the analyzer at temperatures ranging from $-2^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to $45^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for the analyzer and $15^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to $30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for the test strips and relative humidity from $10\%$ to $90\%$ . Extreme temperatures and humidity conditions combinations were tested as follows:
| Analyzer temp/RH | Test Strip temp/RH |
| --- | --- |
| -2°C/10% | 15°C/10% |
| -2°C/10% | 15°C/90% |
| -2°C/90% | 15°C/10% |
| -2°C/90% | 15°C/90% |
| 45°C/10% | 30°C/10% |
| 45°C/10% | 30°C/90% |
| 45°C/90% | 30°C/10% |
| 45°C/90% | 30°C/90% |
{11}
Protocol and acceptance criteria were provided and found to be acceptable. The results supported the sponsor's claimed operating temperature for the Mission U500 analyzer of -2° C to 45° C (28.4° F to 113° F) with relative humidity ranging from 10-90% and test strip operating conditions of 15-30° C (59° F to 86° F) and relative humidity range from 10% to 90%.
Stability studies for the Mission Urinalysis Reagent Strips were conducted in k061559.
No urinalysis controls are provided with the device. The sponsor recommends using commercially available positive and negative controls. Labeling also recommends the following:
- That two levels of commercially available controls are analyzed following laboratory policies and local, state and federal guidelines.
- Test commercially available positive and negative quality controls with each new lot, each new shipment of strips, and when a new bottle of reagent strips is opened.
- Test the strips monthly that are stored for more than 30 days.
- Run QC tests to ensure reagent storage integrity; train new users; confirm test performance; and when patients' clinical conditions or symptoms do not match the results obtained on the test strips.
d. Detection limit:
Expected cutoffs for each color block were determined by adding the expected values of the color block and the immediate lower color block and dividing by 2. The analytical sensitivity for each color block was determined by using commercially available materials and preparing standard solutions in negative human urine at the expected cutoff concentration for each color block. Aliquots of each sample were then diluted to 110% and 90% of the cutoff. The analytical sensitivity for each color block for each analyte is defined by the sponsor as the lowest concentration at which over 55% of the test results are positive. If less than 55% positive results are achieved at 110% or 90% cutoff, then samples were diluted until >55% sensitivity were obtained. Further dilutions were made for ascorbic acid, glucose, bilirubin, ketone, blood, protein, urobilinogen, and leukocytes. See the tables below.

The lowest concentrations detected for pH is 5.0 and specific gravity is 1.000. To determine the minimum concentrations for pH and specific gravity where the tests change from the minimum concentration (5 and 1.000) to the next higher concentrations, the sponsor spiked urine with commercially available reagents to obtain concentrations of 5, 5.2, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.8, and 6 for pH, and 1.002, 1.004, 1.005 for specific gravity. The solutions for pH and specific gravity were confirmed using a pH meter and a refractometer, respectively. The minimum sensitivity was defined as the concentration where $>55\%$ of the results are positive for the next higher color block. The minimum sensitivity for pH 5.5 is 5.4 (87.4% positive) and minimum sensitivity for specific gravity 1.005 is 1.004 (96.3% positive).
# e. Analytical specificity:
3 negative human urine pools were obtained. Two pools were spiked with test strip analytes (pH, glucose, etc.) at 2 concentrations; one that yielded positive for the first color block and the second at a $2+$ or $3+$ concentration. The concentration of each analyte was confirmed with the Bayer Clinitek 500 urine analyzer. The negative and two positive urine samples were then spiked with two different concentrations of potential interferents and the results compared to samples without the interferent(s).
{14}
Interference was defined as any result other than 100% concurrence with the non-spiked control samples. The following substances were evaluated for interference: lithium, ammonium chloride, albumin, ascorbic acid, bilirubin, calcium chloride, citric acid, creatine, creatinine, fructose, galactose, glucose, glycine, hemoglobin, lactose, KCl, NaCl, oxalic acid, phenolphthalein, riboflavin, sodium bicarbonate, sodium nitrate, sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate (Mesna), sodium nitrite, sodium phosphate, theophylline, and urea.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
{15}
307 urine samples were collected from 3 physician office laboratory (POL) sites from patients with Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes, experiencing urinary tract infection (UTI) symptoms, with liver disease, with kidney disease, other disease, and patients who were undergoing routine physical examinations. Samples were coded and 3 operators at each site (N=9) tested the samples on the new device and the predicate. Three analyzers and three test strip lots were used during the study. The combined results from the three sites are summarized below. Both the semi-quantitative and qualitative values are given.
A fourth site (n=167) was added in order to increase the number of positive samples for urobilinogen, bilirubin, nitrite, ketone, and glucose. Samples were analyzed by 3 users at that site and the patient population was similar to POL sites. Results are summarized separately below. Both the semi-quantitative and qualitative values are given.

N. Instrument Name:
Mission® U500 Urine Analyzer
O. System Descriptions:
1. Modes of Operation:
There is a routine sample and STAT sample mode. In addition, a system administrator can set up the instrument to lock out operators if QC fails.
{23}
24
2. Software:
FDA has reviewed applicant’s Hazard Analysis and software development processes for this line of product types:
Yes ☐ X or No ☐
3. Specimen Identification:
An external bar code reader, or manual entry of sample numbers are used for sample identification. Either unique sample identification numbers or assigned sequential specimen identification numbers up to 9999 sample IDs can be used prior to analyzing the samples. Samples will need to be analyzed in the same order as the identification numbers were entered. In addition, the Mission U500 Urine Analyzer automatically assigns a sequence number to each sample that is run.
4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
A test strip containing sample is placed on the strip platform where its presence is sensed by a LED. The test strip is then transported into the reading area of the analyzer and a new strip can then be placed on the platform. A new test strip can be added to the test platform every 7 seconds. Results for the first test strip are available after one minute. Used strips are automatically deposited into a waste tray. The U500 Urine Analyzer prompts the operator to empty the tray when it is full. The device also stores up to 2000 patient results which can be recalled by the operator using the specimen identification number. The analyzer also has a STAT mode.
5. Calibration:
The instrument performs a “self-test” and calibration each time it is turned on. Each time a test is run the analyzer re-calibrates using a white plastic calibration bar located at the bottom of the analyzer optical system.
6. Quality Control:
Each vial of reagent strips contains a code which includes the lot number and expiration date of the strips. This code is entered into the U500 analyzer either manually or by a barcode reader prior to testing. An error code is generated if this is not done.
The instrument includes a quality control function (QC), and a lock out function. When the QC function is enabled, the instrument will ask for control testing during the system initialization prior to the routine testing run. The device expects that 2 levels of the quality control are analyzed. When two quality control levels pass, the instrument can be used for patient testing. If the quality control does not pass, the operator is locked out of the device. The analyzer, however, can only be run in the STAT mode and all testing results will be marked as not having passed QC testing. QC frequency can be programmed so that the operator is prompted to run controls every 8 hours, daily, weekly
{24}
or monthly, depending on the device usage.

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.
