L. Test Principle:
The Precision Xceed Pro Blood Glucose and B-Ketone Monitoring System measures glucose electrochemically. The glucose biosensor is capable of determining glucose oxidized by the enzyme (Glucose Dehydrogenase, GDH-NAD) catalyzed reaction with Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) cofactor. The reduced form of NAD + (NADH) is re-oxidized by reaction with the electrochemical mediator, 1,10-phenanthroline quinone (1,10-PQ). The reduced mediator is re-oxidized via electron transfer at the electrode surface. This current is translated into a number by the monitor, after applying lot specific calibration information and after a 20 second countdown, a concentration value is presented to the user. In this same manner, the biosensor electrode utilizes the enzyme hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase (HBDH), which reacts with the beta-hydroxybutyrate (beta-ketone) concentration in the sample. This reaction is transferred to the monitor through an electrical current generated proportional to the level of beta-ketone in the sample. This current is translated into a number by the monitor, after applying lot specific calibration information and after a 10 second countdown, a concentration value is presented to the user.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Glucose precision was established in k021960.
B-ketone within-run precision - Testing with blood was conducted using four Xceed meters for each of three lots of blood ketone test strips with three venous whole blood samples. Each blood was spiked to five 3-OHB (ketone) levels (0-0.75, 0.75-1.5, 1.5-3, 3-4.5 and 4.5-8.0 mmol/L). For each lot of test strips, twenty replicate measurements were performed for each blood and ketone level. Testing with control solution was conducted over two runs using four Xceed meters for each of three lots of blood ketone test strips with low, mid and high ketone control solution. For each run and lot of test strips forty replicate measurements were performed for each control solution level.
{4}
Results from testing with blood; the mean response, standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (% CV) were calculated for each lot of test strips, blood, meter and ketone level. Mean results were then calculated for each ketone level by lot and over the three lots of test strips. Mean values for SD and % CV were calculated using root mean square (RMS). Results from testing with control solution; the mean response, SD and % CV were calculated for each lot of test strips, run, meter and control solution level. Mean results were then calculated for each control solution level by lot and over the three lots of test strips. Mean values for SD and % CV were calculated using root mean square.
Summary of results:
Range of within-run SD and % CV over 3 lots of test strips
| Whole blood ketone level (mmol/L) | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 0.51 | 0.95 | 1.90 | 4.12 | 6.37 |
| SD (mmol/L) | SD (mmol/L) | % CV | % CV | % CV |
| 0.02-0.04 | 0.02-0.05 | 3.7-4.0 | 3.2-3.6 | 3.0-3.2 |
| Control solution ketone level (mmol/L) | | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Low (0.78) | Mid (2.35) | High (4.19) |
| SD (mmol/L) | % CV | % CV |
| 0.03-0.05 | 2.4-2.8 | 2.3-2.5 |
B-ketone between-run precision - Testing was conducted over twenty days using ten Xceed meters and three lots of blood ketone test strips with low, mid and high ketone control solution. For each meter, two replicates were performed on each day, lot of test strips and control solution level.
The mean response, standard deviation (SD) and coefficients of variation (% CV) were calculated for each lot of test strips and control solution level. Mean results were then calculated over the three lots of test strips. Mean values for SD and % CV were calculated using root mean square.
{5}
Summary of results:
Range of day to day (between-run) SD and % CV over 3 lots of test strips
| Control solution ketone level (mmol/L) | | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Low (0.81) | Mid (2.34) | High (4.15) |
| SD (mmol/L) | % CV | % CV |
| 0.012-0.013 | 0.9-1.3 | 1.5-2.1 |
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Glucose linearity was established in k021960.
B-ketone linearity – The study was conducted over 2 days. On each day, capillary whole blood samples were collected from 20 donors. The capillary samples were spiked to varying ketone concentrations and distributed throughout the measuring range, from 0.01-8.0mmol/L. Three lots of test strips were tested. Duplicate measurements were performed for each lot of test strips, day and blood sample.
The sponsor's acceptance criteria of +/- 0.3mmol/L for ketone levels below 1.5mmol/L and +/- 10% for ketone levels at or above 1.5mmol/L were met. The linear regressions for lot 1 was $y = 0.96x - 0.01$, $r^2 = 0.99$, for lot 2 was $y = 0.99x - 0.03$, $r^2 = 0.99$, and for lot 3 was $y = 0.95x + 0.01$, $r^2 = 1.00$. This testing also demonstrated that readings of "Hi" were consistently obtained for ketone levels > 8.0mmol/L.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Glucose controls traceability and stability was established in k021960. Ketone controls traceability and stability was established in k040814.
d. Detection limit:
Glucose detection limit was established in k021960.
B-ketone limit of detection is 0.01mmol/L.
e. Analytical specificity:
Glucose analytical specificity was established in k021960.
Since the B-ketone test strips have not been modified since clearance in k040814, the B-ketone specificity established in k040814 is applicable.

## 2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Glucose accuracy was established in k021960.
B-ketone accuracy - A total of 96 samples with ketone values ranging from 0.03 to 5.8 mmol/L were evaluated on each of 3 strip lots run with the Precision Xceed Pro System and with the Randox Daytona 3-OHB method. The regression statistics were as follows:
| | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (mmol/L) (95% CI) | r |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Lot 1 | 1.06 [1.01, 1.12] | 0.08 [0.06, 0.11] | 0.98 |
| Lot 2 | 1.05 [1.00, 1.10] | 0.07 [0.05, 0.09] | 0.98 |
| Lot 3 | 1.06 [1.01, 1.10] | 0.06 [0.03, 0.07] | 0.98 |
A user performance test was performed by a total of 187 lay users. The only instructions provided to the lay users were the device instructions for use. After reading the materials, each study subject lanced their finger and performed both a glucose test and a ketone test. Immediately after the lay users self-tested, samples were obtained by healthcare professionals and tested. The samples tested had glucose values ranging from 71 to 547 mg/dL, and ketone values ranging from 0.03 to 0.48 mmol/L. Test results comparing lay user to healthcare professionals are summarized below as linear regressions.
Glucose $y = 1.03x - 4.2, r = 0.98$
Ketone $y = 1.00x + 0.01, r = 0.96$

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.
