L. Test Principle:
The Rightest GM280 Blood Glucose Monitoring System, Rightest 280B Blood Glucose Monitoring System, GE 180 Blood Glucose Monitoring System, and GE 182 Blood Glucose Monitoring System measures glucose amperometrically. The reaction of glucose oxidase and potassium ferricyanide in the test strip with glucose in the sample produces an electrical current which is proportional to the amount of glucose in the sample. The meter measures the current and converts it to the corresponding glucose concentration, which is displayed on the meter.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
There are no differences between the Rightest GM280 Blood Glucose Monitoring System, Rightest 280B Blood Glucose Monitoring System, GE 180 Blood Glucose Monitoring System, and GE 182 Blood Glucose Monitoring System except for Bluetooth capabilities in the GM280B and GE182 meters. Therefore, analytical studies were conducted on the GM280B device to support the four systems.
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Within-run (Repeatability)
Within-run precision studies were performed using venous whole blood samples of 5 glucose levels (30-50, 51-110, 111-150, 151-250, 251-400 mg/dL). Samples were tested ten times with each of three lots of single test strips with 10 meters for a total of 300 tests per glucose concentration. Results are summarized below:
{8}
| Glucose Level (mg/dL) | Lot | Mean (mg/dL) | SD (mg/dL) | CV (%) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 30-50 | 1 | 42.1 | 1.5 | 3.5% |
| | 2 | 41.2 | 1.2 | 2.9% |
| | 3 | 40.4 | 1.3 | 3.2% |
| 51-110 | 1 | 98.8 | 1.9 | 1.9% |
| | 2 | 96.4 | 2.4 | 2.5% |
| | 3 | 95.7 | 2.4 | 2.5% |
| 111-150 | 1 | 134.3 | 3.1 | 2.3% |
| | 2 | 129.3 | 3.2 | 2.4% |
| | 3 | 129.5 | 2.7 | 2.1% |
| 151-250 | 1 | 233.7 | 5.0 | 2.1% |
| | 2 | 227.6 | 5.1 | 2.3% |
| | 3 | 227.7 | 4.5 | 2.0% |
| 251-400 | 1 | 383.1 | 6.7 | 1.8% |
| | 2 | 375.6 | 6.9 | 1.8% |
| | 3 | 373.8 | 5.6 | 1.5% |
## Intermediate Precision
Intermediate (between run) precision was evaluated using three levels of glucose control solutions, 3 test strip lots, and 10 meters. Each control solution level was measured once a day for 10 days with each meter and test strip lot, for a total of 100 replicates per control solution level per test strip lot for a total of 300 replicate for each glucose control level. Results are summarized below:
| Control Solution Level (mg/dL) | Lot | Mean (mg/dL) | SD (mg/dL) | CV (%) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 30-50 | 1 | 38.9 | 1.0 | 2.7% |
| | 2 | 38.2 | 1.2 | 3.1% |
| | 3 | 37.4 | 1.2 | 3.2% |
| 51-110 | 1 | 96.4 | 1.6 | 1.6% |
| | 2 | 96.6 | 1.5 | 1.5% |
| | 3 | 95.9 | 1.6 | 1.6% |
| 251-400 | 1 | 280.6 | 4.4 | 1.6% |
| | 2 | 276.3 | 3.6 | 1.3% |
| | 3 | 278.6 | 4.2 | 1.5% |
{9}
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity was assessed with three lots of GS280 Blood Glucose Test Strips. Each test strip lot was tested with three GM280 Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems using blood samples spiked to 15 glucose levels (0, 13.7, 24.0, 57.6, 117, 165, 225, 265, 325, 375, 429, 475, 535, 552, and 635 mg/dL). Each sample was measured in triplicate with each Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System GM280 and measured in duplicate with a laboratory method (YSI 2300 glucose analyzer). The observed meter values were averaged and compared with the mean of duplicate reference method measurements
The evaluation yielded the following regression equations for each of three lots based on all samples:
Lot 1: y = 0.9929x + 1.5820; R² = 0.9992
Lot 2: y = 0.9926x + 1.1366; R² = 0.9983
Lot 3: y = 0.9917x + 2.3442; R² = 0.9992
These studies support the claimed analytical measuring range of the systems. If a sample reading falls outside of the measuring range of the device, a "LO" or "HIGH" message appears instead of a value. These features were tested and shown to function as intended.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability
The systems are traceable to the NIST SRM 917c glucose reference material.
Test Strip Stability
Test Strip stability has been evaluated through accelerated and real-time open vial and closed vial studies. Protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable to support the claimed shelf life stability and open vial stability of 24 months from manufacture when stored at 40- 86°F (4-30°C) and 10-90% relative humidity.
d. Detection limit:
See the linearity studies (section M.1.b.) above.

# e. Analytical specificity:
The interference study for Rightest GM280 BGMS was performed using 2 glucose concentration levels (50-100 and $250 - 350\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ) of venous blood samples and 26 interference substances. 10 meters and 3 lots of test strips were used to perform 10 replicates per lot and compared to an established laboratory reference method (YSI 2300 Analyzer). The sponsor defined significant interference as of bias greater than $\pm 10\%$ (vs reference method). The compounds at the concentrations listed below did not demonstrate significant interference:
| Potential Interferent | Highest concentration tested at which no significant interference is observed (mg/dL) |
| --- | --- |
| Acetaminophen | 20 |
| Ascorbic Acid | 3 |
| Dopamine HCl | 1.25 |
| EDTA | 0.1 |
| Gentisic Acid | 1.8 |
| Heparin | 18.75 U/ml |
| Ibuprofen | 50 |
| L-Dopa | 3 |
| MethylDopa | 1.5 |
| Pralidoxime iodide | 4 |
| Salicylic Acid | 60 |
| Tetracycline | 1.5 |
| Tolazamide | 40 |
| Tolbutamide | 64 |
| Bilirubin-unconjugated | 50 |
| Cholesterol | 700 |
| Creatinine HCl | 10 |
| Glutathione reduced | 40 |
| Hemoglobin | 6000 |
| Triglycerides | 3000 |

| Maltose | 280 |
| Xylose | 200 |
| Galactose | 200 |
| Lactose | 50 |
| Icodextrin | 1000 |
{11}
Based on these results, the sponsor includes the following in their test strip labeling:
- If you are taking high dose of vitamin C (blood concentration > 3 mg/dL), the result from your meter may not be correct.
- If you have a condition that may cause your blood levels of uric acid to increase (uric acid ≥12 mg/dL), such as kidney disease or gout, then the results from your meter may not be correct.

The control solution tests are differentiated by a control solution symbol.
P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. Sample Volume Study
To evaluate the minimal sample volume of the blood glucose test strips, accuracy of the system with blood volumes of 0.60 μL, 0.65 μL, 0.70 μL, 0.75 μL, 0.80 μL, 1.00 μL, 1.25 μL, 2.00 μL, and 3.00 μL was assessed. Three blood glucose meters were used in this assessment and three lots of test strips to evaluate three blood glucose concentrations (50-75, 80 - 120 mg/dL, and 270 - 330 mg/dL). This testing supported the claimed minimum sample volume of 0.75 for this device and that the sample detection feature functioned appropriately when the sample volume was <0.75 uL.
2. Altitude Study
To evaluate the effects of altitude on system performance, three test strip lots were tested with 3 meters using three whole blood samples with glucose concentrations of 47.5-52.5, 92-100, and 283-307 mg/dL. The samples were tested at 0, 3280, 6561, and 10745 feet above sea level. Results obtained were compared with those obtained with an established
{15}
laboratory reference method (YSI 2300 analyzer). The results demonstrate acceptable bias relative to the reference method to support the claim in the labeling that altitudes up to 10,745 ft. (3275 meters) do not affect device performance.
## 3. Hematocrit Study
The effect of different hematocrit levels was evaluated using whole blood. Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System GM280/GM280B was tested with venous blood at six glucose concentration intervals (20-50, 60-80, 135-165, 180-220, 270-330 and 360-440 mg/dL) and nine hematocrit levels (10, 20, 25, 30, 40, 55, 60, 65 and 70%). Each sample was measured in five replicates for each of three test strip lots also with an established laboratory comparator method (YSI). Results of samples at each hematocrit level were compared to samples measured with an established laboratory reference method (YSI) and support the claimed hematocrit range of 20-60%.
## 4. Test System Operating Conditions
Three Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System GM280/GM280B Meters were used to test venous blood sample with three lots of blood glucose test strips. Six test conditions were used in this study: 50 °F/ 10% RH, 50 °C/ 90% RH, 77 °C/ 10% RH, 77 °C/ 90% RH, 104 °C/ 10% RH, 104 °C/ 90% RH. The results of this study supported the sponsor's claimed operating conditions of 50 °F-104 °F and a relative humidity range of 10% to 90%.
## 5. EMC Testing
The sponsor provided documentation certifying that acceptable electromagnetic testing (EMC) had been performed and the device system was found compliant.
## 6. Infection Control Studies
The device is intended for a single-patient use only. Disinfection efficacy studies were performed on the materials comprising the polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plus polycarbonate meters by an outside commercial testing laboratory demonstrating complete inactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with the chosen disinfectant, Cavi Wipes disinfecting towelettes (EPA Registration Number 46781-8). Robustness studies were also performed by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance or external materials of the meter. The robustness studies were designed to simulate cleaning and disinfection procedures 8 times a month for a total of 550 times in a meter's five-year lifetime. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.

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.
