## L. Test Principle:
The test principle for the SuperCheck Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System (Model 5228-S) and SuperCheck Plus Multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System (Model 5228-M) is an amperometric method that uses flavin adenine dinucleotide-glucose dehydrogenase (GDH-FAD) enzyme chemistry. The reaction utilizes the oxidation of glucose by the dehydrogenase enzyme and then yields electrons, which can be used to generate an electric signal that is measured by the meter, and after calculation by the meter, the blood glucose concentration reading is displayed, calibrated to plasma reference. 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):
### 1. Analytical performance:
All performance characteristics were conducted on the SuperCheck Plus BGMS. Testing performed on the SuperCheck Plus BGMS to characterize the performance of the SuperCheck Plus Multi BGMS is adequate since both the SuperCheck Plus and SuperCheck Plus Multi BGMS are identical with the exception of the names and intended use (i.e. single vs. multiple patient use).
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Repeatability was performed using 5 venous blood samples drawn in heparin tubes and adjusted to five targeted glucose concentrations by addition of glucose in saline or by glycolysis. Each sample was tested 10 times on three test strips lots, using 30 meters (10 meters per test strip lot). Results are summarized below:

Intermediate precision evaluation was performed on control materials at 3 different glucose concentrations (30-50mg/dL, 96-144mg/dL and 280-420mg/dL) with 3 lots of test strips and 10 meters for 10 days. Results are summarized below:
| Intermediate precision (whole blood) | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| | | 2 | 361 | 8.84 | 2.45 |
| | | 3 | 358 | 8.87 | 2.48 |
# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
The linearity study was performed using adjusted venous whole blood samples with 11 different glucose concentration levels across the measuring range of 20 - 600 mg/dL (21, 81, 140, 191, 248, 306, 361, 420, 476, 531, 592 mg/dL). The study was
{10}
performed with 3 lots of test strips and 10 meters. Measurements of the same samples by YSI glucose analyzer were used as a reference. Linear regression analysis for each test strip lot compared to the YSI resulted in:
| Strip lot | Linear Regression | R² |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Lot. #1 | y=0.9931x+1.5695 | 0.9994 |
| Lot. #2 | y=0.9950x+1.3617 | 0.9997 |
| Lot. #3 | y=0.9901x+1.6620 | 0.9997 |
| Combined | y=0.9930x+1.5106 | 0.9998 |
The study results support the claimed measuring range of 20-600 mg/dL of the SuperCheck Plus (5228-S) and SuperCheck Plus Multi (5228-M) Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
## Traceability
The SuperCheck Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System is traceable to the NIST SRM917A reference material. The reference instrument used is the YSI Model 2300 Glucose Analyzer.
## Test Strip Stability
Closed-vial (shelf life) stability and opened-vial (in-use) stability studies were performed to evaluate the stability of test strips. Closed-vial studies were conducted for 5 months shelf-life for the real-time test and are ongoing. Opened-vial was performed for 90 days. Closed-vial and opened-vial stability studies were carried out at 2°C - 30°C and relative humidity of 20% to 80%.
The results presented that the test strips are stable when stored at the recommended conditions for 90 days after first opening and have a 5 month shelf life.
## Value Assignment:
The control materials are assigned a YSI2300 calibrated to a solution traceable to NIST SRM 917. The control solutions are evaluated by multiple replicates on the YSI2300. Then, five vials per lot of the controls are evaluated on 15 SuperCheck Plus meters. An average of the measurements is used to assign the value of the controls. The protocol and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be adequate.
d. Detection limit:
The reportable range is 20 to 600 mg/dL based on linearity studies (see section M.1.b).
{11}
# e. Analytical specificity:
To assess potential interference venous whole blood samples were adjusted to two glucose concentration intervals of 50 to $100\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and $250 - 350\mathrm{mg / dL}$ (as measured on the YSI 2300 Analyzer). Each of these samples was divided into a test pool and a control pool and each of the potential endogenous and exogenous interfering substances was added to the test pool. Each substance was tested at a minimum of two concentrations, normal/therapeutic and high/toxic concentrations. The $\%$ difference between the test sample and the control sample was calculated. Results are presented in the table below:
| Interfering substances | Highest concentration at which no interference is observed |
| --- | --- |
| Endogenous substances | |
| Bilirubin | 20.8 mg/dL |
| Cholesterol | 648.1 mg/dL |
| Creatinine | 5.95 mg/dL |
| Fructose | 30 mg/dL |
| Galactose | 60 mg/dL |
| Glutathione | 23.5 mg/dL |
| Glyceryl Tributyrate | 200 mg/dL |
| Hemoglobin | 20 g/dL |
| Triglycerides | 3,000 mg/dL |
| Uric Acid | 9.5 mg/dL |
| Exogenous substances | |
| Acetaminophen | 20 mg/dL |
| Ascorbic Acid | 4.5 mg/dL |
| Dopamine | 1.25 mg/dL |
| Gentistic acid | 6.75 mg/dL |
| Ibuprofen | 50 mg/dL |
| L-Dopa | 1.9 mg/dL |
| Maltose | 1000 mg/dL |
| Methyl Dopa | 1.5 mg/dL |
| Pralidoxime Iodide(PAM) | 62.5 mg/dL |
| Salicylate | 115.5 mg/dL |
| Tolazamide | 3.8 mg/dL |
| Tolbutamide | 64 mg/dL |
| Xylose | 6.3 mg/dL |
The labeling contains the following limitations regarding interference:
Hematocrit in the range of $20\sim 60\%$ does not affect the glucose results.
Cholesterol level up to $500\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and Triglycerides up to $3,000\mathrm{mg / dL}$ have been
{12}
shown not to affect glucose results.
Interference was observed for therapeutic levels of Glutathione.
Certain substances occurring in the body naturally, such as uric acid, or from normal therapeutic treatments (Ascorbic acid, L-Dopa, Tolazamide and Gentisic acid) will not significantly affect results. However, higher concentrations in blood may cause incorrect results.
There is no significant interference in the presence of galactose, maltose or fructose observed in blood glucose test.
Do not test blood glucose during or soon after xylose absorption test. Xylose in the blood can give falsely elevated results.
f. Assay cut-off:
Not applicable.
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
System accuracy:
To assess system accuracy, fingertip samples and forearm samples were collected from 151 subjects and compared to a reference method, YSI 2300.

c. Other clinical supportive data (when a. and b. are not applicable):
User performance study: The study was performed at one site with 129 participants to demonstrate lay user self-test results performed using the SuperCheck Plus (Model 5228-S) BGMS and SuperCheck Plus Multi BGMS (Model 5228-M). All participants were given the user manual in English with no further information or training provided. Participants were asked to perform testing using the glucose meter. A technician then collected capillary blood from each participant for measurement on the meter and YSI. The glucose concentration range of the samples tested on YSI 2300 was 39.9 to 587 mg/dL. The results relative to YSI 2300 are summarized in the table below:

A usability study was performed to assess the readability of the labeling for the US market by surveying the 129 lay users (aged 24-88 yrs old) that participated in the accuracy study. Participants varied in age, education, and it was fairly distributed between $(49\%)$ and women $(51\%)$ . These lay users completed a questionnaire in response to whether the device is easy to use and the Instructions for use were written in a way that makes it easy to use. The majority of the users responded that the device is very easy to use.

4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
The SuperCheck Plus (5228-S) and SuperCheck Plus Multi (5228-M) Glucose Meters are used for measuring with fresh capillary whole blood samples from the finger, forearm and also venous blood. The whole blood sample is applied directly to the test strip by capillary action.
5. Calibration:
{17}
The SuperCheck Plus (5228-S) and SuperCheck Plus Multi (5228-M) Glucose Meters are automatically coded.
6. Quality Control:
SuperCheck Plus Glucose Control Solution and SuperCheck Plus Multi Glucose Control Solution are intended for quality control of SuperCheck Plus (5228-S) and SuperCheck Plus Multi (5228-M) Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems respectively. Three levels of aqueous glucose solutions (I, II, III) are available; the medium level is included with the kit and the low and high levels can be purchased separately. An acceptable range for each control level is printed on the test strip vial label. Recommendations on when to test the control materials are provided in the labeling and what the user should do if the control result falls outside these ranges.
P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. Hematocrit Study - The sponsor performed hematocrit studies using eight different hematocrit (Hct) levels (20, 25, 30, 35, 42, 50, 55, 60%) across the glucose measuring range (20-600 mg/dL). At each hematocrit level, 3 samples at glucose concentrations of approximately 45, 125, and, 355 mg/dL were tested against the YSI method. 3 lots of test strips were tested on 12 meters and the values were compared to the YSI method and the nominal hematocrit level (42%). The results demonstrated that the device produces accurate results over the claimed hematocrit range of 20% to 60%.
2. Altitude Study - A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of altitude on the SuperCheck Plus BGMS. 3 lots of test strips were tested on 10 meters using blood from venous blood samples obtained from three donors spiked to three glucose concentrations (47 mg/dL, 135 mg/dL, 371 mg/dL). Samples were tested at ground level and at 10,744 feet above sea level. Each venous blood sample was also tested by the YSI 2300 analyzer. The meter readings obtained were compared to the YSI method and the percent bias against the YSI results. The results support the sponsor's claim that the SuperCheck Plus BGMS can be used at altitude up to 10,744 feet.
3. Sample volume study: A minimum sample volume study was performed to verify the minimum test strip sample volume requirement and the test strip fill error function established for the SuperCheck Plus BGMS. Three lots of test strips on 30 meters were tested using blood from six donors. Blood at each concentration was applied to strips at five target sample volumes of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 µL. Protocols and acceptance criteria were provided and found to be acceptable. The study results supported the Sponsor's claim that a minimum sample volume of ≥ 0.7 µL produced accurate results and all samples < 0.7 µL give an error code and do not provide results to the user.
4. Temperature and humidity studies: Temperature and humidity operating conditions were evaluated for temperatures ranging from 10°C to 40°C (50°F – 104°F) and relative humidity from 20% to 80%. Three lots of test strips on 30 meters were tested using three whole blood samples at three glucose concentration levels. The
18
{18}
results supported the Sponsor's claimed operating conditions from 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F) and 20-80% RH.
5. Infection control studies: The device is intended for single-patient use and multiple-patient use. Disinfection efficacy studies were performed on the external meter materials demonstrating removal of the HBsAg antigen with the chosen disinfectant, Clorox Bleach Germicidal Wipes (EPA Registration #67619-12). Robustness studies were also performed by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance or in the external materials of the meter and lancing device after 11,000 cleaning cycles and 11,000 disinfection cycles designed to simulate 3 years of device use. Labeling
6. EMC Testing: EMC testing was evaluated and certified by Precision Machinery Research and Development Center; test reports were submitted certifying that acceptable electromagnetic testing (EMC) had been performed.

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.
