## L. Test Principle:
The ENVISION Blood Glucose Test System is based on the measurement of glucose concentration in human blood. The principle of the test is based on the reaction between glucose in blood sample, glucose oxidase and potassium ferricyanide. The resulting product generates a current that is proportional to the glucose concentration in the sample. The test strip employs an electrochemical signal generating an electrical current that will stimulate a chemical reaction. The reaction is measured and displayed by the meter.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Within- in precision was measured with EDTA anti-coagulated venous blood samples at five different glucose concentrations. Five hundred test strips from 10 vials from a single lot were tested with 10 meters. Ten measurements for five samples (n=50) were recorded and the results are shown in the table below.
| With-in precision | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | Sample 4 | Sample 5 |
| Mean | 41.5 | 79.4 | 127.6 | 204.7 | 319.3 |
| SD | 1.1 | 1.5 | 2.2 | 4.0 | 8.1 |
| CV | 2.7 | 1.9 | 1.7 | 2.0 | 2.5 |
Between-day precision was measured by measuring three levels of control materials daily for ten days (n=90) on three separate meters. The results are summarized in the able below.
{4}
| Between-day precision | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean | 49 | 108 | 296 |
| SD | 1.1 | 1.3 | 6.4 |
| CV | 2.2 | 1.2 | 2.1 |
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
EDTA venous blood sample was spiked to form two concentrations (high and low). The two concentrations were mixed to form 14 glucose concentrations between 20.4 to $595.8\mathrm{mg / dL}$ (confirmed by YSI) then tested with the ENVISION Blood Glucose Meter and YSI. The meter displays "Low" with glucose values below $20\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , "Hi" with glucose values over $600\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . Each glucose level was measured 5 times by the ENVISION Meter and in duplicate by YSI. Regression analysis showed a linear relationship between the ENVISION Meter and the YSI method: $\mathrm{y = 0.998x - 0.880}$ , $\mathrm{R}^2 = 1$ .
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The glucose control standards are traceable to a NIST glucose standard and were previously cleared in submission k051285. The reference instrument used is the YSI 2300 Glucose analyzer and is calibrated by YSI 2747 Glucose Standard which is a NIST traceable glucose standard. The controls are prepared at three target concentrations gravimetrically and the glucose concentrations are verified with the YSI reference method. The expected values are verified for each new lot of strips.
Shelf-life studies show that the unopened test strips have a 26 month life-span and 3 months shelf-life once a vial of strips is opened. Unopened controls have a 26 month shelf life and are stable for 3 months after first use.
d. Detection limit:
The sponsor has not conducted studies to determine the limit of detection (LOD). However, the lower limit is supported by linearity studies. The sponsor has established the measuring range of $20 - 600\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for ENVISION Blood Glucose Test System.
e. Analytical specificity:
The sponsor evaluated the effects of hematocrit on whole blood samples spiked with 4 to 5 hematocrit levels (between $20 - 60\%$ ) at eight glucose concentrations between 45 to $559\mathrm{mg}$ . These values were compared to values from an YSI-2300 analyzer. The results indicated that bias introduced at hematocrit levels between $20\%$ to $60\%$ was within $+/-15\mathrm{mg/dL}$ for values under $75\mathrm{mg/dL}$ and $+/-10\%$ for values $75\mathrm{mg/dL}$ and over.
{5}
A temperature study was conducted with three control solutions kept at room temperature. Five meters and strips were set to three different temperatures between 10 and $40^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ . A humidity study was conducted with three glucose levels run at three humidity percentages. The results from both studies showed that the device can be used from 10 to $40^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and from 10 to $90\%$ relative humidity.
The sponsor conducted an altitude study to evaluate the effects of decreased oxygen pressure resulting from high altitudes may have on the device. An altitude study was performed with venous blood samples from volunteers. Glucose values of adjusting $\mathsf{pO}_2$ venous bloods (ranging from $32\mathrm{mg / dL}$ to $551\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ) were measured by ENVISION™ in the altitude chamber at sea level and 10,000 feet conditions. Glucose values of plasma centrifuged from venous whole blood were measured by YSI 2300 as the reference value. Linear regression results of the Envision versus the YSI results at 10000 feet revealed a line of $y = 0.9949 - 1.09$ and a correlation coefficient of 0.9990. The test data using the samples from both meters (sea-level and 10000 feet) showed that the bias versus YSI at 10,000 feet is the same bias versus YSI as that observed at sea level. These data indicate no additional effect due to altitude up to 10,000 feet. The results indicate that the device is unaffected by altitudes up to 10,000 feet.
Common interferences were evaluated by spiking venous blood with glucose to three concentrations based on EP7-P of low (less than $75\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ) normal ( $160\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ) and high (greater than $240\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ). Middle concentrations were prepared gravimetrically from the two initial concentrations to form 5 total concentrations. The glucose samples were spiked with the interferents and run in replicates of 5. The sponsor's acceptance criterion was $+/-15\%$ bias. There was no interference effects observed up to the high test levels show in the table below. The error% of uric acid, Dopamine and Gentistic acid was over $\pm 15\%$ , failing the criteria. Thus, uric acid, Dopamine and Gentistic acid were included as an interference in the strip user manual. The three interferences studies are shown in the three tables below.

# 2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
System accuracy was evaluated by comparing the fingertip results of 160 samples that spanned the claimed assay range to the results obtained by a Hitachi 747. Samples ranged from 30 to $507\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and were run on two different meters. For some of the samples that were less than $50\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and greater than $400\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , pooled anticoagulated capillary whole blood specimens were allowed to hydrolyze or were spiked to the desired glucose levels. Regression analysis of results from both meters is shown below:

{9}

95% of the individual glucose results were within the ISO 15197 criteria specifying that 95% of samples are within +/- 15 mg/dL when glucose concentration less than 75 mg/dL and within +/- 20% glucose concentration ≥75 mg/dL.

# Lay user studies:
The sponsor conducted a study at three clinical sites (50 users per site) to compare the accuracy of glucose measurement between the lay-user and the healthcare professionals. At each clinical site, the lay-user performed a fingerstick, tested their blood with the ENVISION meter and recorded their results. A healthcare professional then obtained a capillary blood sample and a venous sample to obtain results with the same ENVISION meter and the Hitachi 747. The lay user then completed a questionnaire to cover demographics and ease of use and understanding. Regression analysis of the participants' fingerstick value (ranged from $59 - 540\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ) against a laboratory method (Hitachi 747) yielded the following results: $y = 1.00224x$
{10}
2.392, R2=0.9843. The results (shown below the graphs) for the user versus healthcare results were within the ISO 15197 criteria of individual differences within +/- 15 mg/dL when glucose concentration less than 75 mg/dL and within +/- 20% glucose concentration ≥75 mg/dL.

The sponsor assessed readability of the labeling by the previously recruited 150 lay users who were provided with the ENVISION test kit. Participants varied in age, education, country of origin and gender. The overall survey indicated that 88% of the participants found the labeling easy to use and understand. The readability for the user manual, strip manual and control solution labeling are grades 6.5, 7.0 and 5.5, respectively.
{11}
# Alternate Site Studies (AST):
The sponsor conducted alternative site testing (AST) using the ventral palm, the dorsal hand, the forearm, the upper arm, the calf, and the thigh and compared the results to concurrent fingerstick readings. Lay-users vigorously rubbed the alternative site for 5-10 seconds (until they felt warming) before obtaining the sample. Regression results are shown below and the percentage of results meeting ISO 15197 acceptance criteria for accuracy.

5. Calibration:
Strip lot-specific calibration is accomplished by embedding a Calibration Code onto each Envision test strip, which then provides the Calibration Code information to the Envision meter when the strip is inserted.
6. Quality Control:
The sponsor has three levels of controls available for this meter with both levels coming with the kit and also being available through the distributor. When a test strip is inserted into the meter, a control can be run. An acceptable range for each control level is printed on the test strip vial label. The user is referred to a troubleshooting section at the end of the control test instructions of the owner’s manual to identify possible reasons 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.
