L. Test Principle:
For the blood glucose portion: Once a whole blood sample is applied to the sample chamber of the test strip, glucose measurement commences. Glucose measurement is based on electrical potential caused by the reaction of glucose with the reagents contained on the strip's electrodes. The glucose in the sample is oxidized by the enzyme glucose oxidase, producing gluconolactone. The current resulting from this enzymatic reaction is measured and converted to glucose concentration by the meter. The magnitude of the current is proportional to the concentration of glucose in the sample.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The sponsor has evaluated the precision of the device using the TD-3217 meter (which is technologically similar to the TD-3213, TD-3215, TD-3216, TD-3250, and TD-4207 meters). The sponsor evaluated the precision of the TD-3217 using replicate measurements of glucose control solutions and spiked anticoagulated venous
{3}
whole blood. Day to day precision testing was performed with 3 levels of TaiDoc control solutions each with 3 different lots test strips. Samples were tested with 10 measurements obtained from 10 meters with each level of control solution (for a total of 300 tests) over 10 days. The range for each control solution level is an experienced result in periods of 6 months. Each level was established as an average value first, which for low is $77\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , for normal is $135\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , and for high is $325\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . Then the range of each level was established from the average minus/plus $20\%$ ( $20\%$ is from ISO15197, minimum acceptable accuracy), giving low ranges of 61 to $93\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , normal ranges from 108 to $162\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , and high ranges from 260 to $390\mathrm{mg / dL}$ .

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
The linearity of the device was demonstrated by comparing 9 levels of whole blood samples on the TD-3217 and a glucose reference method (YSI-2300) in k061181. The samples ranged in concentration from a low of approximately $22\mathrm{mg / dL}$ to a high of approximately $587\mathrm{mg / dL}$ (from YSI). Linear regression of the comparison data yielded the following relationship: $\mathrm{ACHTUNG} = (0.9851\times \mathrm{YSI - }2300) + 5.4,\mathrm{r}^2 =$ 0.9995. The reportable range of the ACHTUNG TD-3217 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is $20 - 600\mathrm{mg / dL}$
# c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The controls supplied with this device were previously cleared under k012430. The sponsor has shown traceability of the meter to a laboratory analyzer.
# d. Detection limit:
$20\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . The sponsor supported this level with a linearity study (above).
# e. Analytical specificity:
The specificity of the device was assessed with the TD-3217 meter. Elevated blood triglycerides and the following substances do not affect results: acetaminophen, dopa, methyldopa, L-dopa and tolbutamide occurring in expected blood concentrations. Reducing substances such as uric acid and ascorbic acid occurring in expected blood concentrations was shown to not cause interference. The altitude study also showed that the percentage of mean difference between strips is within the acceptable range (from ISO15197, minimum acceptance accuracy: within $\pm 20\%$
{5}
when glucose concentration $\geq 75\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ) indicating that the new test strips are equivalent to the predicate strips at the same altitude (up to 10,744 feet). A hematocrit was also performed and the results supported a use of the meter from 20 to $60\%$ hematocrit.
f. Assay cut-off: Not Applicable.
# 2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
The sponsor demonstrated that the TD-3217 for finger stick is equivalent to a standard method (YSI-2300) and can be used on alternate sites (specifically the capillary blood from finger compared to the palm, forearm, upper arm, calf, and thigh). The sponsor assessed accuracy by having 147 patients from 3 different sites using a standard method compared to finger stick. For the finger stick against the standard method, samples ranged as follows: $10\%$ of samples were $20 - 50 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , $36\%$ of samples were $51 - 110 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , $29\%$ of samples were $111 - 150 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , $11\%$ of samples were $151 - 250 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , $15\%$ of samples were $251 - 600 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , and $15\%$ of samples were $401 - 600 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ . For the AST sites, the samples ranged as follows: $40\%$ of samples were $51 - 110 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , $30\%$ of samples were $111 - 150 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , $20\%$ of samples were $151 - 250 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , and $10\%$ of samples were $251 - 600 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ . All patients blood glucose levels were in a steady state for these studies. The studies are summarized below.

N. Instrument Name:
Clever Chek TD-3213, Clever Chek TD-3215, Dr. T TD-3216, Clever Chek TD-3217, and Clever Chek TD-3250 Blood Glucose plus Blood Pressure Monitoring Systems
O. System Descriptions:
1. Modes of Operation:
Each test strip is single use and must be replaced with a new strip for additional readings.
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:
There is no sample identification function with this device. Samples are applied directly to the test strip as they are collected.
4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
This device is intended to be used with capillary whole blood from the finger, the palm, the forearm, the upper-arm, the calf, and the thigh only. Since the whole blood sample is applied directly to the test strip there are no special handling or storage issues.
5. Calibration:
A code strip is provided with each batch of test strips to calibrate the meter for that batch. No further calibrations are required of the user.
6. Quality Control:
The sponsor is providing a high and low glucose control solution with this device. When a test strip is inserted into the meter, the control mode can be activated. This prevents control results from being stored in the internal memory. An acceptable range for each control level is printed on the test strip vial label. The user is referred to the troubleshooting section of the owner’s manual if control results fall outside these ranges.

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.
