## L. Test Principle:
The OneTouch Verio Blood Glucose Monitoring System employs flavin adenine dinucleotide-glucose dehydrogenase (GDH-FAD) enzyme chemistry as the standard dry reagent assay for glucose in whole blood. This enzyme assay, with a redox chemical "mediator" reaction, is used to generate an electrical current proportional to the glucose concentration in the blood sample. The system is designed as an amperometric measurement device using current generated from the redox reaction as the measurable response.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
{6}
In this study, venous blood from nine donors (with nominal hematocrits of 37-45%) was adjusted to eight target glucose levels (20, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 mg/dL) and tested with 3 OneTouch Verio Test Strip lots on eight OneTouch Verio Sync Blood Glucose Meters. Each sample was also assayed with the YSI reference method. Note: The target glucose of 700 mg/dL exceeds that of the claimed OneTouch Verio Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System glucose concentration range which is 20 - 600 mg/dL. The meters were modified to display a glucose result greater than 600 mg/dL. Linear regression of the data produced the following:
| Strip Lot | Intercept (with 95% CI) | Slope (with 95% CI) | r² |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 2.8 (2.1 – 3.5) | 0.969 (0.965 – 0.972) | 0.996 |
| 2 | 4.6 (3.9 – 5.3) | 0.958 (0.954 – 0.961) | 0.996 |
| 3 | 5.2 (4.4 – 5.9) | 0.973 (0.969 – 0.976) | 0.996 |
The results of the study support the sponsor’s claimed glucose measurement range of 20 – 600 mg/dL.

# System Accuracy Study
To assess system accuracy, results from the OneTouch Verio Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System were compared to a reference method (YSI 2300). Capillary fingerstick samples from 100 participants with glucose concentrations ranging from $40 - 434\mathrm{mg / dL}$ were analyzed with the candidate device and with YSI. Three samples were collected from each fingerstick. The first was used for the Verio Sync measurement, the second for the YSI measurement, and the third for a hematocrit measurement. Two participant samples were allowed to glycolyze to obtain a glucose concentration $< 50\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and three participant samples were spiked to obtain a glucose concentration $>400\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . The results relative to the reference method are summarized in the tables below:

P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. Hematocrit Study
Three OneTouch Verio Test Strip lots were tested on 12 Verio Sync meters at each of the following five hematocrit levels: 19, 30, 44, 50 and 61%. At each hematocrit level, each lot was tested with three donor venous blood samples at each of five glucose levels: 30, 66, 118, 233, 455, and 563 mg/dL. A single replicate on each of the 12 meters was obtained for each combination of test
12
{12}
strip/glucose level/hematocrit and donor. This resulted in n = 180 data points per strip lot at each hematocrit level (5 glucose levels x 3 donors x 12 meters). Samples were also tested by the YSI reference method. The results demonstrated that the OneTouch Verio Blood Glucose Monitoring System produces accurate results over the claimed hematocrit range of 20 – 60%.
2. Sample Volume Study
The sponsor performed a sample volume study to support the claimed minimum sample volume requirement for the OneTouch Verio Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System (0.4 μL) using blood samples at two glucose concentrations (65 and 450 mg/dL). The system displays an error code when insufficient sample is detected. Results support the claimed sample volume of 0.4 μL.
3. Altitude Study
In this study, three (3) test strip lots were tested on sixteen (16) Verio Sync meters using venous blood from three (3) donors (with nominal hematocrit (37-45%)) and adjusting them to 70, 240 and 450 mg/dL. The samples were tested at three altitude levels (3000, 6000 and 10,000 feet), and at sea level (0 feet) as a control. This resulted in n = 288 data points per strip lot at each altitude level (3 donors x 3 glucose levels x 16 meters x 2 replicates). Each blood sample was also tested by the YSI reference method. The bias relative to the reference method was acceptable to support the claim that altitudes up to 10,000 feet do not significantly affect the glucose results.
4. Temperature and Humidity Studies
The sponsor performed temperature and humidity studies using venous blood samples at target glucose concentrations of 65, 240 and 450 mg/dL to evaluate temperatures ranging from 50 – 111°F (10 – 44°C) and relative humidity from 10 – 90 %. Combinations of the claimed temperature and humidity operating conditions were evaluated by comparing meter results to the YSI reference method. The bias relative to the reference method was acceptable to support the claim that temperatures from 50 – 111°F (10 – 44°C) and relative humidity from 10 – 90% do not significantly affect the glucose results.
5. Infection Control Studies
This device is intended for single patient use.
Clorox Germicidal wipes (EPA registration #67619-2) were validated demonstrating complete inactivation of live virus using materials from the meter and lancing device. The sponsor also demonstrated (separately for each product) that there was no change in performance or in the external materials after 310 cleaning and disinfection cycles for the meter and lancing device (one cycle
13
{13}
includes one cleaning wipe plus one disinfecting wipe). This simulated 3 years of use for the meter and lancing device. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
6. EMC testing

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.
