L. Test Principle:
The TD 4239 glucose meters, in conjunction with the same test trips, utilize amperometric technology to quantitatively measure the glucose concentration in whole blood samples and in control solutions. A glucose dehydrogenase sensor based on the carbon electrode adopting the amperometric assay utilizes the enzyme glucose dehydrogenase to catalyze the formation of gluconolactone from the oxidation of glucose whereby two electrons are produced.
Through the mechanism of the mediator, electrical current is generated and it is proportional to the quantity of glucose in the sample.
The reaction principle of reagent depends on following reaction equation:
$$
\text{Glucose} + 2 \text{ferricyanide} = \text{gluconolactone} + 2 \text{ferrocyanide}
$$
$$
\text{electrode}
$$
$$
\text{ferrocyanide} = \text{ferricyanide} + \text{e-}
$$
GDH: glucose dehydrogenase
FAD: flavin adenine dinucleotide
The glucose biosensors recognize the glucose present in whole blood or control solutions by virtue of the specificity of the enzyme FAD dependent glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) present on the test strip. The electrons liberated by this reaction are transferred via a cofactor and mediator to the meter where they are read as a small electrical current. The magnitude of the resultant current is proportional to the concentration of glucose in the specimen and the signal is converted into a readout displayed on the meter.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
The TD-4239 and the TD-4239 Multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System are the same meters and test strips, however, they have separate names because of the different

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
The sponsor performed linearity studies using adjusted venous blood samples with 12 different glucose concentrations ranging from less than 10 to 750 mg/dL for the TD-4239 Blood Glucose Monitoring System. For each level solution, 10 consecutive tests (with 5 measurements per lot) by YSI-2300 and TD-4239 glucose meter were performed respectively. The resulting data was compared and the linear regression analyses were as follows:
TD-4239 Slope = 1.0086 y intercept = 1.3961 r² = 0.9992
The measuring range is 20-600 mg/dL for the TD-4239 Blood Glucose Monitoring System and 10-600 mg/dL for the TD-4239 Multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System and has been shown to be linear within the measuring range.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
For a control solution were cleared under k 093724
The TD-4239 Blood Glucose Monitoring System and TD-4239- multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System (including control solution and strips) have an operating environment of 50-104 degrees F and a relative humidity between 10%-85%. Performance testing conducted under low humidity/ high temperature and vice versa (In-use stability data) support this range.
Test strips were evaluated to determine open and closed vial stability. Data provided by the sponsor supports closed vial stability of TD-4239 test strips for 18 months and open vial stability of 3 months when stored at the recommended conditions of 2° - 32°C / 35.6° - 89.6°F, between 10%-85% R.H.
Calibration: calibration of the test strip is done by inserting the code strip into the meter when opening a new vial of test strips.

d. Detection limit:
The claimed measuring range is $20 - 60\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for the TD-4239 Blood Glucose Monitoring System and $10 - 600\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for the TD-4239 Multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System
e. Analytical specificity:
# Interference Study:
The sponsor indicated that the interference study protocol was developed according to NCCLS, EP 7-A2. Venous blood was obtained from fasting subjects and collected in a heparin-Na (sodium heparin) vacutainer tube (Hct around $45\%$ ).
Two concentrations of glucose were adjusted to $60 - 80\mathrm{mg / dL}$ (low) and 150-200 $\mathrm{mg / dL}$ (high) using the YSI 2300 as a reference instrument. The glucose samples were spiked with the potentially interfering compounds equivalent to the highest therapeutic dosage and toxic level (or ten times the highest therapeutic concentrations when toxic levels were not known), and tested on 3 lots of test strips. Bias was calculated as the mean percent difference in glucose reading between the test and control concentration groups. All samples tested showed $\%$ bias within $\pm 10\%$ between the test and the control groups. The sponsor claims no significant interference ( $\leq 10\%$ difference) for the substances and concentrations shown in the table below:

{11}
Reference method comparison professional vs. Lay user comparison study for Capillary Blood.
The sponsor states that the study was performed in accordance with ISO 15197.
Testing was completed by comparing the TD-4239 blood glucose monitoring systems against YSI-2300 glucose analyzer (reference method). The study was conducted at 3 different clinical sites, with a total of 148 subjects. Three lots of test strips were used in the study.
Samples ranging from 15 to 527 mg/dL were included. The fresh capillary whole blood samples from different individuals were used except for blood glucose concentrations less than 40 mg/dL and greater than 400 mg/dL. (12/148) Pooled capillary whole blood samples were spiked and glycolyzed to obtain these concentrations.
Lay users were given the user manual in English for the blood glucose monitoring systems TD-4239 and were given no additional instructions. They were requested to perform the test by themselves and answer the questionnaire. Health care professionals took one further measurement (immediately after) with the TD-4239, and the results between the lay users vs. reference and health care professionals vs. reference were compared. An additional capillary blood sample was taken within 5 minutes and was tested by professionals with the YSI 2300 blood glucose monitoring system for comparison.

## Accuracy for venous whole blood
The sponsor states that the study was performed in accordance with ISO 15197.
Testing was completed by comparing the TD-4239 blood glucose monitoring systems against YSI-2300 glucose analyzer (reference method). The study was conducted with 100 subjects using fresh venous whole blood using a vacutainer tube containing sodium heparin (10mL). To meet the distribution specified in ISO 15197, for specimens less than 40 mg/dL and greater than 400 mg/dL, the sponsor used a pool of whole blood specimen and it was spiked or glycolyzed to obtain the desired levels pooled whole blood specimen was used and spiked to the desired level.
The range of blood glucose samples used was between 15-597 mg/dL and three lots of test strips were used in the study.
Table below present the glucose value differences of devices versus YSI-2300 with venous whole blood for glucose concentration < 75 mg/dL.

## P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. Altitude: A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of altitude on the TD 4239
{16}
BGMS. Same test samples were tested on 4 meters using venous whole blood from healthy donors at eight glucose concentrations (ranging from 20-600 mg/dL) at three corresponding altitude levels (5000, 11,500, and 15,000 feet), and sea level (0 feet) as a control. Testing was performed in a hyperbaric chamber (glove box). Each venous blood sample was also tested by the YSI 2300 analyzer. The meter readings obtained were compared to the YSI method and the percent bias was determined at each level against the YSI results. Bias was within ±10% for all three altitude levels tested. Based on the data, the sponsor claims that the TD 4239 BMGS can be used at altitude up to 15,000 feet.
2. Hematocrit: The sponsor performed hematocrit studies using eleven different hematocrit levels (20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70%) levels across the glucose measuring range (10-600 mg/dL). At each hematocrit level, 8 concentrations of glucose were tested against the YSI method. Test strips from the same lot were tested on 6 meters and the values were compared to the YSI method and the nominal hematocrit level (40%). All results fell within ±10 mg/dL bias at glucose concentrations < 75 mg/dL and within ±10% bias at glucose concentrations ≥ 75 mg/dL against the reference method YSI-2300. Across the entire hematocrit range (20-70%) the difference between the candidate and YSI device is within +/- 15%.
3. Temperature and humidity study: The TD-4239 Blood Glucose Monitoring System, operates at 50 -104 °F (10°C - 40°C), and relative humidity between 10%-85%. The sponsor tested the extreme combinations of temperature and humidity, i.e. lowest and highest temp at lowest and highest humidity. These tests support the operating temperature and humidity ranges.
4. Drop tests and vibration tests were conducted and results analyzed to give the mean, SD and CV before and after the challenge. The sponsor provided the test report to confirm that vibration tests were conducted on 3 meters at random wave form between frequencies of 5-500 Hz on X Y Z axes, 30 minutes per axis. Results of TD-4239 showed CVs less than 5% at three glucose levels, and the mean difference % before and after challenge were review were reviewed and deemed acceptable.
5. Specimen volume study: A sample volume study was performed to verify the test strip sample volume requirement and the test strip fill error requirement established for the BGMS. Three lots of test strips were tested on Spiked or glycolized venous whole blood (Hct: 45%) with three levels: 1) 33 to 63 mg/dL, 2) 117 to 175 mg/dL, 3) 250 to 376 mg/dL. Blood at each concentration was applied to strips at five target sample volumes of 0.8, 0.9, 0.1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 μL. Protocols and acceptance criteria were provided and found to be acceptable. The sponsor concluded that sample volume of ≥0.9 μL produced accurate results and samples <0.9 μL give an error code.
6. Lay user questionnaire: 150 lay users evaluated the ease of use of the device and the presentation of the labeling. All users thought that the device was easy to use (Very
17
{17}
easy; Easy and Average-100% lay users) and most answer Very easy, Easy and Average that the user manuals were written to make it easy to use.
7. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing was performed and passed and a certificate to Taidoc Technology Corporation was provided.
8. Readability testing: For the readability assessment of instruction manuals, the sponsor used Flesch-Kincaid readability analysis to determine the grade level at which the Owner's Manual and strip manual for both proposed devices were written, for is 8th grade reading level.
9. Disinfection and Robustness studies: The device is intended for single-patient (TD-4239 Blood Glucose Monitoring System) or healthcare professional use (TD-4239 Multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System). Disinfection studies were performed on these meters by an outside commercial testing service to determine the robustness of the meter to the recommended cleaning and disinfection protocol, and its effectiveness in preventing the spread of blood borne pathogens, particularly Duck hepatitis B virus (HBV). Micro-Kill Plus™ disposable wipes (EPA Reg. No: 59894-10-37549) were validated, demonstrating complete inactivation of live virus for use with the meter. The sponsor also demonstrated that there was no change in performance or in the external materials of the meter and lancing device after 10,000 cleaning and disinfection cycles designed to simulate 3 years of healthcare professional use and 5 years of use by lay users. Labeling has been reviewed for adequate instructions in validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.

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.
