# L. Test Principle:
The test strip chemistry uses Glucose Oxidase (GO), the chemical reaction on strip is as follows:
Glucose + GO/FAD → gluconic acid + GO/FADH₂
{4}
GO/FADH $_2$ + ferricyanide $\rightarrow$ GO/FAD + ferrocyanide
Ferrocyanide $\rightarrow$ ferricyanide $^+$ e-
GO/FADH $_2$ + O $_2$ → GO/FAD + H $_2$ O $_2$
The test is based on electrochemical biosensor technology and the principle of capillary action. The electrical current generated by the reaction of glucose in the sample with the glucose oxidase enzyme in the strip is measured by the meter and is displayed as the corresponding blood glucose level. The strength of the current produced by the reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
The sponsor performed linearity studies using adjusted venous blood samples with eight glucose concentrations (15-30mg/d, 31-60mg/dL, 61-100mg/dL, 101-200mg/dL, 201-300mg/dL, 301-400, 401-550, 551-700mg/dL) tested. For each concentration, 10 meters of the candidate device and YSI-2300 were tested in duplicate. The resulting data was compared and the linear regression analyses were as follows:
Linear relationship between DiaTrue Plus and YSI 2300 in three lots of strips ranged between
$\mathrm{Y} = 1.006\mathrm{X} - 3.731$ and $\mathrm{Y} = 0.998\mathrm{X} - 1.428$ where ranges for $\mathbb{R}^2 = 0.998$ to 0.999
The study results support the claimed measuring range of these systems as 20-600 mg/dL.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Stability characteristics of the test strips were determined using real-time and accelerated studies, using unopened and opened vials. The testing protocol and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be adequate. When stored unopened at the recommended storage temperature of $50^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ to $77^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ $(10 - 25^{\circ}\mathrm{C})$ the sponsor claims the test strips are stable for 18 months. Once opened, the test strips are stable for up to 3 months when stored at $50^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ to $77^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ .
{6}
Stability characteristics of the control solutions were determined using real-time and accelerated studies, using unopened and opened vials. The testing protocol and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be adequate. The sponsor claims the unopened shelf-life is 18 months at the recommended storage of 50° F to 77°F (10-25°C). Once opened, the control solutions are stable for 3 months when stored at 50° F to 77°F.
d. Detection limit:
The measuring range of the system is 20-600 mg/dL. This range was verified by the linearity study.
e. Analytical specificity:
Interference Study:
Endogenous compounds and drugs:
Interference testing was conducted to determine the effect of selected endogenous and exogenous substances on the test system. The potential interferants were tested at therapeutic or normal ranges and also at above therapeutic or toxic ranges. Venous blood samples at three glucose concentrations (70 mg/dL, 120 mg/dL, and 360 mg/dL) were prepared and divided into a test (dosed) pool and a control pool. Paired differences of glucose measurements between test samples and control samples were calculated to determine the bias. There was less than +/10% bias for the substances listed below at the listed concentrations.

P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The “Performance Characteristics” Section above:
1. Hematocrit Study:
A study to evaluate the effect from hematocrit was conducted on samples with 6 glucose concentrations (20-50, 50-70, 110-130, 200-250, 350-380 and 520-550
11
{11}
mg/dL) at 5 hematocrit levels (25, 30, 45, 55, and 65%). Each glucose level/hematocrit combination was tested in duplicate on 10 meters using one lot of test strips. Results of samples at each hematocrit level were compared to samples with the same glucose concentration at normal (45%) hematocrit as well as to the corresponding YSI value. All results met the sponsor’s acceptance criteria of ±15% which supports the claimed hematocrit range of 30-55%.
2. Altitude study:
An altitude study was performed at elevations up to 10,072 feet with 60 tests each (using 8 meters and one test strip lot) with 6 concentrations of spiked venous whole blood spanning 30 to 600 mg/dL. Sea level results were compared to results at higher elevations and to YSI values, with all results meeting the sponsor’s acceptance criteria of ±10%.
3. 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 glycolyzed venous whole blood (Hct: 42%) at one glucose concentration of 110-120 mg/dL. Blood at this concentration was applied to strips at 9 target sample volumes of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5 μL. The sponsor concluded that sample volume of ≥0.9 μL produced accurate results (within 5%), samples <0.6 μL gave no measurement and samples between 0.6-0.9 μL gave inaccurate results due to insufficient volume of blood. The labeling provides instructions and graphics to assist the user in obtaining and applying an adequate sample volume.
4. Drop tests and vibration tests:
These 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 10-500 Hz on X Y Z axes, 30 minutes per axis.
Results of DiaTrue Plus Blood Glucose Meter 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. User performance study:
For the user performance study summarized in section M.2.a above, the participants were asked to complete a questionnaire to evaluate the ease of use of the device and the clarity of the English language labeling. Overall the users indicated that they could successfully perform the test and that the user manual was written clearly.

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.
