L. Test Principle:
The meters and test strips use biosensor technology. The test strips contain glucose oxidase (Aspergillus niger) that reacts to glucose present in blood, releasing electrons. The meter applies a small electrical current to the test strip and measures changes in the current caused by the reaction of glucose in the blood sample to the enzyme in the test strip. The meter converts the measured current into a blood glucose reading that is displayed on the meter's liquid crystal display.

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Repeatability: Within-Run
Within-run precision studies were performed using pooled venous whole blood samples adjusted to 5 different glucose concentrations within the following ranges: 30-50, 51-110, 111-150, 151-250 and 251-400 mg/dL. Each glucose level was analyzed in replicates of 10 across 10 meters using 3 lots of test strips over 20 days. The results are summarized below:
| Lot 1 | Level | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

Intermediate Precision—Between Day
Intermediate precision was evaluated using three levels of glucose control solutions with approximate concentrations of: 50, 110, and 200 mg/dL. Each glucose level was analyzed once per day on 10 meters using 3 lots of test strips over 20 days. Results for intermediate, between-day per lot precision are summarized below:
| Lot 1 | Level (mg/dL) | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Mean (mg/dL) | 50 | 111 | 210 |
| | SD (mg/dL) | 2.2 | 3.1 | 5.7 |

{6}
| Lot 2 | Level (mg/dL) | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Mean (mg/dL) | 48 | 112 | 210 |
| | SD (mg/dL) | 3.2 | 2.6 | 5.7 |
| | % CV | 6.6 | 2.3 | 2.7 |
| Lot 3 | Level (mg/dL) | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| | SD (mg/dL) | 1.9 | 3.3 | 4.9 |
| | % CV | -3.8 | 3.0 | 2.4 |
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity for the device was evaluated using CLSI-EP6 using venous whole blood supplemented with glucose, or allowed to undergo glycolysis, to provide samples at 8 glucose concentrations of 18, 60, 81, 124, 211, 325, 438 and 618 mg/dL. Forty tests were performed using AutoSure HT meters at each glucose concentration and a glucose test using the same blood sample was performed on the YSI 2300 Glucose Analyzer as the reference method. A total of 320 samples were tested on each test strip lot for a total of 960 tests. Regression analysis demonstrated a linear relationship between the AutoSure HT glucose meter and the YSI 2300 reference method. The linear regression results for each test strip lot are shown below:
| Strip Lot | Slope | Intercept | R² |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 0.9996 | -0.1472 | 0.9996 |
| 2 | 1.0004 | -0.3014 | 0.9993 |
| 3 | 1.0002 | -0.2169 | 0.9993 |
The study provided supports the claimed measurement range for glucose of 20 - 600 mg/dL. If a sample is less than 20 mg/dL, the result is flagged by the meter as LO. If a sample result exceeds 600 mg/dL, the result is flagged by the meter as HI.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability:
The AutoSure HT Blood Glucose Monitoring System is traceable to NIST SRM 917c glucose. A NIST SRM 917c traceable Glucose Standard Set (JCCRM 521-10) with glucose concentrations of 50,100, 150, 250, 500 mg/dL, is used to calibrate the reference instrument YSI 2300 Glucose Analyzer.
Expected Values:
Value assignment of glucose control solutions was performed by testing 3 lots of AutoSure HT control solutions (for all 3 levels) using 2 AutoSure HT meters daily for
{7}
10 days, with 2 tests/meter for each control solution, for a total of 360 test results. Results were verified against values taken on the YSI-2300 reference method and predetermined acceptance criteria for glucose recovery within a specified range must have been met for each control lot/level. The acceptable control range is established as the mean value ±15 mg/dL for Level 1 control solution or ±15% for Levels 2 & 3 control solutions. Glucose control ranges are lot dependent and are listed on the test strip vial label for each lot and level.
## Test Strip Stability:
Stability testing protocols and acceptance criteria for the AutoSure HT test strips were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The manufacturer claims a shelf life stability of 18 months and an open-vial stability of 6 months at the recommended storage temperatures of 4°C to 30°C. Relative humidity should be between 20-85% for open and closed vial test strip stability.
## Control Solution Stability:
Stability testing protocols and acceptance criteria for the glucose control solutions were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The manufacturer claims a shelf life stability of 24 months and an open-vial stability of 3 months at the recommended storage temperatures of 4°C to 30°C.
## d. Detection limit:
The measuring range of the AutoSure HT glucose meter is 20-600 mg/dL. This range was verified by the linearity study (see section M.1.b of this decision summary).
## e. Analytical specificity:
To evaluate potential interference, a number of endogenous/exogenous substances at two or more levels (normal/therapeutic and high) were added to venous whole blood samples (HCT 43±2%) containing three different glucose levels (70-90, 110-130, and 300-330 mg/dL). Ten glucose measurements obtained from samples containing each potential interfering substance were evaluated and compared against measurements with a control group using the AutoSure HT glucose monitoring system. Test and control samples were tested using 10 AutoSure HT test strips and 10 AutoSure HT glucose meters. The table below shows the levels at which no significant interference (defined by the sponsor as ≤ 10%) was detected when testing for glucose with the AutoSure HT glucose meter:

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
System Accuracy Study:
To demonstrate system accuracy, fingertip, palm and forearm samples were obtained from 143 participants. For the fingertip samples, 8 samples were allowed to glycolize to achieve low glucose concentrations below 50 mg/dL and 2 samples were spiked to obtain values >450 mg/dL to cover the glucose range of 37-472 mg/dL. Thus, 153 fresh capillary blood fingertip samples and 143 palm and forearm samples (glucose concentration of 56-435 mg/dL) were tested by health care professionals for the study. The study was performed using 8 AutoSure HT glucose meters and 3 lots of AutoSure HT test strips. The glucose meter measurements obtained using the AutoSure blood glucose meter were compared to YSI 2300 reference method values for fingerstick, palm and forearm samples. The accuracy data is summarized in tables below.

5. Calibration:
This system has an autocoding feature; coding of the meter by the user is not necessary. The meter is plasma calibrated.
6. Quality Control:
Three levels of controls are available for use with this meter. The control solutions must be purchased separately using the contact information provided in the user guide. When a test strip is inserted into the meter, each control level can be measured by following the instructions for “Control Solution Testing” provided in the meter user guide. An acceptable range for each control level is printed on each test strip vial label. The user is instructed to contact Customer Service if the control results fall outside of these ranges.
P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The “Performance Characteristics” Section above:
Hematocrit Study: The effect of different hematocrit levels on the performance of the AutoSure HT Blood Glucose meter was evaluated using venous whole blood samples with hematocrit levels of 10, 20, 30, 35, 43, 50, 55, 60 and 70%, at glucose concentrations of 40, 60, 130, 300 and 500 mg/dL using 10 meters and 3 test strip lots. For each blood sample, individual glucose readings taken on the AutoSure HT meter were compared to YSI reference values to calculate the bias. The results demonstrate acceptable bias for hematocrit levels between 10-70%.
1. Altitude study: To assess the effect of altitude, venous whole blood samples were adjusted to 5 glucose concentrations: 50, 120, 222, 330 and 448 mg/dL (30-55% hematocrit; 23°± -2°C) and tested at sea level and 10,335 feet above sea level using 10 meters and 1 test strip lot. Three levels of control solutions were also tested for the study. Results were compared to YSI reference values. The results demonstrate acceptable bias to YSI to support the claims in the labeling that altitudes up to 10,335 feet have no significant effect on blood glucose measurements from the AutoSure HT glucose meter.
2. Temperature and Humidity Study: The effect of temperature and relative humidity (RH) on the AutoSure HT meter was evaluated using venous blood samples at 60, 120, 200 and 400 mg/dL. Twenty replicates were tested at each combination of temperature and relative humidity using 10 AutoSure HT meters and 3 lots of test strips. Glucose concentrations at the following temperature and humidity conditions were evaluated and compared with results obtained with the YSI reference method:
Temperature: 4, 10, 14, 20, 24, 30, 40, 45 (±2°C) at 45-55% RH
Relative Humidity: 20% ± 5% at 4°C and 45°C; 50% ± 5% at 24°C; 90% ± 5% at 4°C and 45°C
The study results support the operating temperature range of 41 - 113°F (5 - 45°C) and 20–90% RH.
3. Sample Volume Study: The sponsor performed a study to verify the test strip minimum
{16}
sample volume requirement (0.9 µL) and the test strip fill error requirement established for the AutoSure HT. Venous whole blood samples at 3 levels (50-70 mg/dL, 100-140 mg/dL and 310-350 dL) were tested at 8 sample volumes (0.7-1.4 µL tested in 1 µL increments) using 10 meters and 1 test strip lot. Values obtained were compared to YSI reference values. The Sponsor concludes that sample volumes ≥ 9 µL produced accurate results 100% of the time, thus this is the minimum sample volume that should be used with the meter. Adequate software validation was performed for this feature.
4. Readability Evaluation: Flesch-Kincaid readability assessment was conducted and the results demonstrated that the User Manual, test strip package insert, and control solution package inserts were written at the 8th grade level.
5. Electromagnetic Compatibility: The Sponsor provided documentation certifying that electromagnetic testing (EMC) had been performed. Testing was found to be adequate for the AutoSure HT meter.
6. Infection Control Studies: The device is intended for single-patient use. Clorox Healthcare Bleach Germicidal wipes (EPA registration # 67619-12-5813) were validated through disinfection efficacy studies by an outside commercial testing laboratory demonstrating complete inactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) using materials comprising the meter. Robustness studies were also performed by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance or in the external materials of the meter after 1,825 cleaning and disinfection cycles designed to simulate 5 years of single-patient device use. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
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.
