L. Test Principle:
FORA Diamond Prima and FORA Diamond Mini Blood 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 co-factor 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.

e. Analytical specificity:
The following protocol was applied to both FORA Diamond Prima Blood Glucose Monitoring System and FORA Diamond Mini Blood Glucose Monitoring System respectively.
The sponsor indicated that the interference study protocol was developed according to CLSI 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 $70\mathrm{mg/dL}$ (low) and $150\mathrm{mg/dL}$ (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. For both FORA Diamond Prima Blood Glucose Monitoring System and FORA Diamond Mini Blood Glucose Monitoring System, the sponsor claims no significant interference ( $\leq 10\%$ difference) for the substances and concentrations shown in the table below:

# 2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
The sponsor conducted an accuracy study at three hospital sites. Trained professionals obtained 180 samples from diabetic and non-diabetic outpatient participants. The range of glucose values tested was $37 - 503\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for Diamond Prima and $37\sim 493\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for Diamond Mini BGMS. In order to obtain sufficient samples in the lowest and highest concentration intervals, 12 venous samples were obtained and either allowed to glycolyze to obtain low values or spiked with additional glucose. Samples that were $< 50\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and $>400\mathrm{mg / dL}$ were contrived samples and samples between 50 to $440\mathrm{mg / dL}$ were natural capillary samples from the fingertip.

Consumer study:
A study was conducted to demonstrate that untrained lay users can correctly perform a glucose test using the DIAMOND Prima and DIAMOND Mini Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems and obtain accurate results. In all, 184 male and female subjects of varying demographics were recruited. Each subject was asked to perform a self test using only the provided English language labeling. A venous blood specimen from each subject was also obtained by a healthcare professional and tested on the YSI reference method.
The results are summarized in the tables below.

The calibration code for the vial of test strips should be selected or verified by the user from the available choices of code numbers programmed in the meter. Users are instructed where to find the calibration code information on the test strip vial label.
6. Quality Control:
The sponsor states that the system can be used only with FORA control solutions
{14}
(cleared under k093724). Recommendations on when to test the control materials are provided in the labeling. An acceptable range for each control level is printed on the test strip vial label. The user is cautioned not to use the meter if the control result falls outside these ranges
## P. Other Supportive Device and Instrument Information:
### 1. Hematocrit Study
The effect of different hematocrit levels was evaluated with one test strip lot and 10 FORA Diamond Prima Blood Glucose meters and 10 FORA Diamond Mini Blood Glucose Monitoring meters respectively. In both cases, blood samples at six glucose concentrations (20-30, 50-80, 100-150, 200-250, 350-400 and 550-600 mg/dL) were analyzed. The glucose samples were prepared from venous blood at 10 different hematocrit levels (20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 and 65%). Glucose results for each concentration and hematocrit level were compared to samples tested on the YSI reference method.
The data supports the sponsor's claim that hematocrit in the range of 20%-60% does not significantly interfere (more than ±15%) with glucose measurements using both test system.
### 2. Altitude:
A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of altitude up to 15,000 feet on performance of the FORA Diamond Prima Blood Glucose Monitoring System and FORA Diamond Mini Blood Glucose Monitoring System using a glove box system which simulates 4 elevations from sea level to 15,000 feet (4500 meters). Venous whole blood samples at five glucose concentrations ranging from 50-600 mg/dL were tested at four altitudes using three lots of test strips and 4 FORA Diamond Prima Blood Glucose meters and FORA Diamond Mini Blood Glucose meters respectively. Each sample was also evaluated by the YSI method. At altitudes up to 15,000 feet, test results were within +/-10% of YSI values for both meters.
### 3. Test system operating conditions:
Studies were performed using four FORA Diamond Prima Blood Glucose meters and four FORA Diamond Mini Blood Glucose meters respectively with three lots of test strips, and three venous whole blood samples with glucose concentrations of 64.2, 124 and 318 mg/dL. Testing was performed at various conditions in the claimed conditions 50-104°F (10-40°C) and at a relative humidity from 20-85% and results compared to the reference YSI. There were no significant differences in glucose concentrations across the temperature and humidity ranges tested. Results demonstrated that the test system can be used at temperatures from 50-104°F (10-40°C) and at a relative humidity from 20-85%.
### 4. User performance study:
For the user performance study summarized under consumer study 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.
### 4. Readability assessment:
{15}
The sponsor performed a readability assessment of the labeling and states that the user manual, strip insert, and control insert are written at 8th grade level or below based on SMOG analysis.
## 5. EMC testing
EMC testing was evaluated and certified by Electronics Testing Center Taiwan and a letter of attestation was issued and attached to file.
## 6. Sample volume study
A sample volume study was performed to verify the test strip sample volume requirement of 0.5 µL for both FORA Diamond Prima Blood Glucose Monitoring System and FORA Diamond Mini Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Three samples with glucose concentrations approximately 50, 150, and 350 mg/dL were evaluated with three lots of test strips with 5 different FORA Diamond Prima and FORA Diamond Mini meters respectively. Each of the three blood samples was applied to the strips at samples volumes 0.4, to 1.5 µL. Protocols and acceptance criteria were provided and found to be acceptable. The sponsor concluded that sample volumes ≥ 0.5 µL produced accurate results and sample volumes < 0.5 µL produced inaccurate results for both meters. The labeling provides instructions and graphics to assist the user in obtaining and applying an adequate sample volume in both cases.
## 7. Infection Control
The devices are intended for single-patient use only. Disinfection studies were performed on these meters by an outside commercial testing company 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 5,000 cleaning and disinfection cycles designed to simulate 5 years of use by lay users. Labeling has been reviewed for adequate instructions in validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
## 8. Software validation
Software validation verification has been reviewed and the information the sponsor provided was deemed to be sufficient.
## Q. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.
## R. Conclusion:
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.

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.
