# L. Test Principle:
The GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems are based on measurement of electric currents caused by the reaction of glucose with the reagents on the gold electrode of the test strip. The blood sample is drawn into the test strip's reaction chamber through capillary action. Glucose in the sample reacts with glucose dehydrogenase and mediator on the test strip. This reaction creates electric currents. The consequent electric currents are proportional to the glucose concentration in the blood and converted to the equivalent glucose concentration by the algorithm programmed in the GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Meters.

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
Performance testing was conducted using the GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring System, which is representative of the other two blood glucose monitoring systems. There are no differences between the three systems that would affect performance.
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Within-run precision was determined according to CLSI EP05-A2. Human venous blood samples from one donor were adjusted to 5 glucose levels (30-50 mg/dL, 51-110 mg/dL, 111-150 mg/dL, 151-250 mg/dL, and 251-400 mg/dL). Samples were tested on 10 GlucoDr.S meters with 3 lots of test strips. Each sample was tested over 1 day in 10 replicates per meter and per test strip lot, giving a total of 100 measurements per lot for a total of 300 measurements for each glucose level. Blood samples were also tested in duplicate by a comparator measurement procedure (YSI 2300 STAT Plus). Results are summarized below:
Combined lots

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity testing was performed according to CLSI EP6-A. A low glucose human venous blood sample (aged to deplete glucose) and a high glucose venous blood sample (spiked with glucose) were mixed to create 15 glucose levels: $15\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $20\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $43\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $61\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $78\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $136\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $194\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $252\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $310\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $368\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $426\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $484\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $542\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , $600\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , and $650\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . Each sample was measured in 5 replicates with 3 GlucoDr.S meters and 3 test strip lots and the values compared to a comparator method (YSI 2300 STAT Plus). Results from the regression analysis are as follows:
| Test Strip Lot | Slope | Y-intercept | R² |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 0.97622 | 1.23230 | 0.99951 |
| 2 | 0.99754 | -3.82987 | 0.99880 |
| 3 | 0.98965 | -2.19569 | 0.99827 |
| Combined | 0.98780 | -1.59775 | 0.99914 |
{7}
The reportable range for glucose measurements is 20-600 mg/dL. If a sample glucose level is below 20 mg/dL, 'LO' will be displayed on the glucose meter. If a sample glucose level is above 600 mg/dL, 'HI' will be displayed on the glucose meter.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability
The GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems are traceable to NIST SRM 917c glucose reference material.
Test Strip Stability
Test strip stability was assessed using accelerated and real-time stability studies. Testing protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The sponsor claims a shelf life stability of 19 months and an open vial stability of 4 months at the recommended storage conditions of 34°F to 90°F (1°C to 32°C) and relative humidity of 15% to 85%.
d. Detection limit:
The reportable range for the GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems is 20 - 600 mg/dL. See the linearity study above (M.1.b.).
e. Analytical specificity:
Interference studies were performed in accordance with CLSI EP07-A2. Endogenous or exogenous substances, each at two concentrations (normal/therapeutic and high/toxic), were added to venous whole blood samples and adjusted to 3 glucose concentrations (70 mg/dL, 130 mg/dL, and 260 mg/dL). Each test sample containing interferent was measured using 10 GlucoDr.S meters with 3 lots of test strips. The difference between each test sample (measured with the candidate device) and paired control sample (measured with YSI) was calculated for each substance. The table below shows the highest levels of substance tested at which no significant interference (as defined by ± 10 mg/dL for glucose concentrations < 75 mg/dL and ± 10% for glucose concentrations ≥ 75 mg/dL) was observed:
| Substance | Highest concentration with no significant interference (mg/dL) |

The sponsor has included the following in the labeling:
- If you are taking high doses of Tolazamide (> 16.0 mg/dL in your blood), then you should know that this drug might affect the reliability of your blood glucose results.
- The increased levels of the uric acid occurring naturally in the blood (> 8.0 mg/dL) may interfere with the test, resulting in inaccurate test results. High levels of uric acid are associated with a number of drugs, particularly diuretics and salicylates (aspirin).
- Do not use during or soon after xylose absorption testing. Xylose in the blood will cause interference.

P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. Sample Volume Study
To verify the test strip minimum sample volume requirement (0.5 μL), fresh venous blood was spiked with glucose to obtain concentrations of 50-65 mg/dL, 100-120 mg/dL, 200-250 mg/dL, and 425-550 mg/dL. The sample volumes of 0.40 μL, 0.45 μL, and 0.5 μL were measured using 3 GlucoDr.S glucose meters and 3 test strip lots (9 measurements per sample volume) relative to the comparator method (YSI 2300 STAT Plus) results. At sample volume 0.5 μL, all GlucoDr.S meters test results supported a minimum sample volume of 0.50 μL for the GlucoDr.S meter and that the sample detection feature functioned appropriately when the sample volume was insufficient.
2. Hematocrit Study
The effect of different hematocrit levels on the performance of the GlucoDr.S glucose meter was evaluated using venous whole blood samples with 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 42%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, and 65% hematocrit at glucose levels of 30-50 mg/dL, 51-110 mg/dL, 111-150 mg/dL, 151-250 mg/dL, 251-400 mg/dL, and 401-600 mg/dL. Measurements were taken using 10 GlucoDr.S glucose meters and 3 test strip lots. Results of the sample at each hematocrit level were compared to samples measured with by the established comparator method (YSI 2300 STAT Plus). The study supports the claimed hematocrit range of 20-65%.
3. Altitude Study
To assess the effect of altitude, human venous blood samples were adjusted to 4 glucose concentrations: 30-50 mg/dL, 111-150 mg/dL, 251-400 mg/dL, and 425-550 mg/dL and tested near sea level (181 feet) and 10,020 feet above sea level using 9 GlucoDr.S™
12
{12}
glucose meters and 3 test strip lots. Values measured by the GlucoDr.S glucose meters were compared to the comparator method YSI 2300 STAT Plus. The results support the claim that the GlucoDr.S system can be operated at altitudes up to 10,020 ft.
4. Operating Conditions (temperature, humidity)
The effect of temperature and relative humidity on the GlucoDr.S glucose meter was evaluated using venous blood samples adjusted to 30-50 mg/dL, 96-144 mg/dL, 280-420 mg/dL, and 425-550 mg/dL glucose. Measurements were taken under four environmental conditions (50°F/15% humidity, 50°F/85% humidity, 104°F/15% humidity, 104°F/85% humidity) in replicates of 10 with 10 GlucoDr.S glucose meters. Values measured by the GlucoDr.S glucose meters were compared to the comparator method YSI 2300 STAT Plus. The study results support the operating condition claim of 50 to 104°F (10 to 40°C) with relative humidity of 15% to 85%.
5. Infection Control and Robustness Studies
The GlucoDr.S glucose meter is intended for single-patient use only. Disinfection efficacy studies for the GlucoDr.S glucose meter was evaluated on the external meter materials by an outside commercial laboratory demonstrating complete inactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with the chosen disinfectant CaviWipes 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 after 1,095 cleaning and disinfections cycles designed to simulate 3 years of use using the CaviWipes Disinfecting Towelettes. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
6. Electrical Safety and EMC Testing
The sponsor provided documentation certifying that acceptable electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing had been performed and the system was found to be compliant.
Q. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.
R. Conclusion:
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.

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.
