c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability: The Precichek NS-101 POCT BGMS is traceable to the NIST SRM 917 reference material.
Stability: Real time stability studies were conducted to assess the shelf-life and open vial stability of the control solutions and test strips. Real time stability studies are still on-going. For controls, the sponsor claims an unopened shelf life of 18 months and stability of 90 days after opening, when stored at 50-80 °F (10-30 °C). For test strips, the sponsor claims that the unopened test strips have a 24 month shelf life and are stable for 90 days after first opening, when stored at 10-40°C (50-104°F). The sponsor's protocol and acceptance criteria were reviewed and considered acceptable.
Control Value Assignment: Previously cleared under k032985. The value assignment of the Precichek glucose control solutions were determined by in-house procedure. The control solutions were prepared by gravimetric addition of glucose to achieve target values of 45 mg/dL for Level I and 300 mg/dL for Level II. Values
{7}
were confirmed by YSI 2300 method. Verification of the control solutions were tested with 30 test strips and 5 Precichek NS-101 POCT Professional Blood Glucose Meters per level of control. The target ranges were set at the following:
| Glucose Control solution | Target concentration | Acceptable Range |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Level 1 | 45 mg/dL | 35 – 65 mg/dL |
| Level 2 | 300 mg/dL | 336-545 mg/dL |
d. Detection limit:
The measuring range of the system is $20 - 600\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . This range was verified by the linearity study above (section M.1.b)
e. Analytical specificity:
Whole blood samples were spiked to nominal glucose concentrations of 90-120 mg/dL and 300-400 mg/dL. The interfering substance was prepared at 5 concentrations to include normal (therapeutic) and high (toxic). Each level was analyzed 6 times The sponsor defines no significant interference as $\leq 10\%$ difference.

N. Instrument Name:
Precichek NS-101 POCT Professional Blood Glucose Meter
O. System Descriptions:
1. Modes of Operation:
{11}
Each test strip is single use and must be replaced with a new strip for additional readings. Each test strip requires a sample volume of $0.5\mu \mathrm{L}$.
Does the applicant’s device contain the ability to transmit data to a computer, webserver, or mobile device? :
Yes _______ or No ☐ X
Does the applicant’s device transmit data to a computer, webserver, or mobile device using wireless transmission?:
Yes _______ or No ☐ X
2. Software:
FDA has reviewed applicant’s Hazard Analysis and software development processes for this line of product types:
Yes ☐ X or No _______
The applicant has provided documentation that indicates the device was designed and developed under good software life-cycle processes.
3. Specimen Identification:
The device has a scanner lens. When you press and hold the “Scan” button, the red LED light will be turned on to penetrate the scanner lens and read the bar coded labeled sample.
4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
This device is intended to be used with capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertip, venous and arterial whole blood EDTA samples. No special handling or storage is needed.
5. Calibration:
The device is calibrated by a coding process. The code number is the last two digits of the strip lot number. The user should input the last two digits of the strip lot number into the memory before use. While performing the blood glucose test, the strip lot number printed on the vial label is scanned to match the one in the memory. The meter then applies a formula to calculate the glucose value.
6. Quality Control:
Two levels of glucose control solutions (Level 1, 2) are provided within the kit from the
12
{12}
sponsor. The labeling provides instructions on when to test control materials. An acceptable range for each control level is printed on the test strip vial label. If the control values fall outside these ranges, the user is referred to customer support for problems and more information.
P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. Altitude Studies: Venous whole blood samples, with glucose concentrations, according to YSI, from 30-594 mg/dL were analyzed using 3 Precichek NS-101 POCT test strip lots and 10 Precichek NS-101 POCT meters. Results were compared to YSI values and resulted in no significant bias (≤ 10%) for all samples tested. The data submitted support use of the device up to 8800 feet (2,750 meters).
2. Temperature and Humidity Studies: The sponsor performed temperature and humidity studies using venous whole blood samples at 6 glucose ranges (30-50, 51-110, 151-250, 251-400 and 401-600 mg/dL), 5 Precichek NS-101 POCT meters and 2 lots of Precichek NS-101 test strip lots. Results demonstrated that the system can be used in conditions of 50° - 104°F (10° - 40°C) with relative humidity 20-80% and stored under conditions of 50° - 104°F (10° - 40°C) and relative humidity of 20-80%. No significant effect (≤ 10% relative to YSI) was observed at the temperature and humidity combinations tested. The following combinations were tested: low temperature/low humidity, low temperature/high humidity, high temperature/low humidity and high temperature/high humidity. The results support the claims in the labeling that the system can be used in conditions of 50° - 104°F (10° - 40°C) with relative humidity of 20-80%.
3. Sample Volume Studies: Sample volume studies were performed using venous whole blood samples with concentrations of 49.3, 97, 123, 210, 336, and 488 mg/dL at 10 sample volumes (0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0). Ten Precichek POCT meters and 2 lots of test strips were used in the study and results were compared to YSI. Results support the claimed minimum sample volume of 0.5μL.
4. Infection Control Studies: The device is intended for multi-patient use. Disinfection efficacy studies were performed on the materials comprising the meter by outside commercial testing demonstrating complete inactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with the chosen disinfectant (Clorox Germicidal Wipes) (EPA Registration #67619-12). Robustness studies were also performed by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance or external materials for the meter after 18,250 cleanings and 18,250 disinfection cycles with the Clorox Germicidal Wipes. The robustness studies were designed to simulate 5 years of multi-patient use. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
5. Readability Study: Not applicable. This device is for "Professional Use" only.
6. Hematocrit Study: The effect of hematocrit was evaluated using whole blood samples spiked with seven hematocrit levels (25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 55, 65%) at glucose
13
{13}
concentrations distributed within the measuring range (20-50, 51-110, 111-150, 151-250, 251-400, and 401-600 mg/dL) of the device. Each concentration was tested in replicates of 6. The study incorporated 6 glucose meters. Blood analysis was also performed on the YSI 2300 glucose analyzer. Results of samples with hct levels between 30-55% showed bias versus the reference method of ≤ ± 15%)
7. EMC Testing: The sponsor provided the appropriate documentation certifying that electromagnetic testing (EMC) had been performed and the Precichek NS-101 POCT Professional Blood Glucose Monitoring System was found compliant.
Q. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.

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.
