## L. Test Principle:
The On Call Sure Sync and On Call Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems use electrochemical methodologies that use a reagent system that includes glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) and a mediator that reacts with the glucose in the whole blood sample obtained from the fingertip, forearm, and/or palm to produce an electrical current signal. This current is measured using an amperometric detection method. The meter then calculates and displays the blood glucose concentration reading, calibrated to plasma reference.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
The only differences between the On Call Sure and On Call Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems in this submission are the presence and absence of Bluetooth functionality and the device names. Therefore, the performance studies presented below were conducted using the On Call Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System as a representative device.
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The sponsor performed within-run precision studies using venous whole blood samples adjusted to six glucose concentration levels (30-50, 51-110, 111-150, 151-250, and 251-400, and 401-600 mg/dL). Each glucose level was analyzed in replicates of 10, with 3 test strip lots and 10 meters for a total of 300 measurements with each glucose concentration. Results are summarized below:

| | Combined | 300 | 426.5 | 9.70 | 2.3 |
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
For evaluation of linearity, venous whole blood was prepared at 11 glucose levels (9.8, 28, 54.5, 81.8, 111.8, 173.5, 227.4, 342, 444.8, 563.8, and $673.4\mathrm{mg / dL}$ as measured on the comparator method YSI 2300 STAT PLUS). Each glucose level was measured in replicates of 10 using each of 3 lots of test strips. Linear regression analysis for each test strip lot was compared to the plasma YSI. The evaluation yielded the following regression equations:
| Lot | Slope | y-intercept | R² |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 1.005 | 0.3755 | 0.9976 |
| 2 | 1.0023 | -0.3007 | 0.9976 |
| 3 | 0.9948 | 0.4345 | 0.9991 |
| Combined | 1.0009 | 0.1698 | 0.9981 |
The results of the study support the sponsor's claimed glucose measurement range of $40 - 600\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . If a sample result is less than $40\mathrm{mg / dL}$ glucose, the result is flagged by the meter as "Lo". If a sample result exceeds $600\mathrm{mg / dL}$ glucose, the result is flagged by the meter as "Hi". The "Lo" and "Hi" functions were validated by the sponsor and were demonstrated to function as intended.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability:
The On Call Sure Blood Glucose Monitoring System and On Call Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System are traceable to the NIST SRM 917b reference material.
Test Strip Stability:
Stability of the On Call Sure Blood Glucose Test Strips was assessed using real time and accelerated studies. Protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The sponsor claims shelf life stability of 24 months and open-vial stability of 6 months when stored at the recommended storage conditions of $36^{\circ}\mathrm{F}-95^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ $(2-35^{\circ}\mathrm{C})$ and $10-90\%$ relative humidity (RH).
d. Detection limit:
See linearity study (Section M.1.b.) above.

# e. Analytical specificity:
For the evaluation of interference, 38 potentially interfering substances were spiked into venous whole blood. Each potentially interfering substance was tested at 3 glucose levels (50-70 mg/dL, 110-130 mg/dL and 250-270 mg/dL). Test samples were prepared to the specified concentration for each substance. Control samples were prepared without the potential interferent. Control and test samples were each measured in replicates of 30 and the bias between control and test samples was calculated. The highest interferent concentrations at which measurement bias was $\leq 10\mathrm{mg / dL}$ (for glucose $< 75\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ) or $\leq 10\%$ (for glucose $\geq 75\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ) vs. control specimens is presented in the table below.

User Evaluation Study
{10}
To assess the performance of the On Call Sure/On Call Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System in the hands of intended users, the sponsor conducted a user evaluation study consisting of 366 participants who collected capillary samples from their fingertip, palm, and forearm on their own and obtained blood glucose measurements on the candidate device using only the On Call Sure/On Call Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System labeling. Three test strip lots were used for this study and results were analyzed against results obtained on the comparator method, the YSI 2300 STAT PLUS analyzer. The glucose concentrations of the samples ranged from $53.8 - 537.5\mathrm{mg / dL}$ as measured on YSI 2300 Stat Plus (21 unaltered samples contained glucose $< 80~\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and 48 unaltered samples contained glucose $>250~\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ).

Yes ☐ X ☐ or No ☐
4. Specimen Identification:
There is no sample identification function with this device. Samples are applied directly to the test strip as they are collected.
4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
The device is intended to be used with capillary whole blood from the finger, palm, and forearm. The whole blood sample is applied directly to the test strip, so there are no special handling considerations.
5. Calibration:
No user calibration is required.
6. Quality Control:
The On Call Sure Glucose Control Solutions are used to confirm that the meter and test strips are working properly. Glucose control solutions are viscosity-adjusted, buffered aqueous control solutions that contain known concentrations of d-glucose. Three solution levels are available (Level 0, Level 1 and Level 2) for use with the systems. Level 1 is provided with the system kit. Level 0 and Level 2 are sold separately. Instructions on how to order the control solutions are included in the user manual. The meter automatically detects control solution readings. The control solution readings are not

{13}
included in the average of the patient results. An acceptable range for each control level is printed on the test strip vial label. The user is cautioned not to use the meter 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: To evaluate the effect of hematocrit on the On Call Sure/Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System, venous blood samples were adjusted to hematocrit levels of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65% and 70%. Each hematocrit level was tested at six glucose concentration intervals (~40, ~80, ~130, ~200, ~325, and ~500 mg/dL). Each sample was tested in replicates of ten using 30 meters and 3 test strip lots. Results from the meter were compared to results obtained using a laboratory-based comparator measurement (YSI 2300 STAT PLUS analyzer). The evaluation of bias and percent bias relative to values obtained on the YSI 2300 STAT PLUS analyzer support the claimed hematocrit range of 10-70%.
2. Altitude: To evaluate the effect of altitude on the On Call Sure/Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System, meters were tested at 16 ft and 10,790 ft on fingerstick capillary blood acquired from 22 subjects at each altitude. Each sample was tested with 2 test strips from each of 3 strip lots on 2 meters. Results were compared to results obtained for venous plasma samples on laboratory-based comparator measurements taken at each altitude (i.e., at sea level YSI 2300 STAT PLUS analyzer was used and at 10,000 ft Beckman Coulter UniCel DxC 800 Synchron Clinical System was used). At sea level, the reference glucose concentration range was 74.4 – 406.6 mg/dL (33 – 52% hematocrit). At 10,000 ft, the reference glucose concentration range was 59.4 – 282.6 mg/dL (39 – 61% hematocrit). Test results support the claims in the labeling that altitudes of up to 10,000 feet have no significant effect on performance of the On Call Sure and On Call Sure Sync systems.
3. Operating Conditions: To evaluate system performance under the extremes of the recommended temperature and humidity conditions, venous samples were prepared at six glucose concentration levels (45.2, 103.0, 130.7, 202.4, 327.0, and 526.6 mg/dL). Test strips from 3 lots were exposed to one of 7 relative humidity (RH) and temperature conditions (10% RH/5°C, 10% RH/21°C, 10% RH/45°C, 90% RH/5°C, 90% RH/21°C, 90% RH/45°C, or 45% RH/21°C). The results from the On Call Sure system were compared to results obtained using the comparator method, YSI 2300 STAT PLUS, and support the claimed operating conditions of 10-90% RH and 41-113°F (5-45°C).
4. Sample Volume: To verify the minimum sample volume requirement, venous whole blood samples were tested at five volumes (0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8 μL). Sample concentrations included three glucose levels (50-65, 100-120, and 200-250 mg/dL). Values obtained with the candidate device were compared to values obtained using the comparator method (YSI 2300 STAT PLUS analyzer). Results support the claimed minimum sample volume of 0.6 μL. The sponsor provided validation studies demonstrating that with blood volumes below 0.6 μL, the insufficient sample volume
14
{14}
error message functioned as intended.
5. Sample Perturbation: The sponsor demonstrated that, while an error code (E-5: Insufficient sample volume error) was triggered when sample was removed during measurement, perturbation via shaking the meter and test strip, hitting the meter, or flicking the test strip during measurement does not significantly affect meter glucose results.
6. Intermittent Sampling: The sponsor demonstrated that intermittent sample application triggers an error code (E-5) when a short sample is initially applied to the test strip followed by a second sample application to the test strip. The results demonstrated that the device does not provide blood glucose values when samples are intermittently applied. The labeling indicates that the user should apply enough sample to fill the test strip check window within 3 seconds.
7. Testing with Used Test Strips: The sponsor demonstrated that used test strips were accurately detected by the meters when samples were applied to test strips prior to insertion into the meter and when previously used test strips were re-inserted in the meter after drying.
8. A variety of mechanical/durability testing (i.e., drop testing, temperature exposure, humidity exposure, temperature sensitivity and limit testing, test strip connector durability, vibration, packaging, and battery life testing) was performed and the ACON On Call Sure/Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System to demonstrate that the meter is robust to environmental and mechanical stresses.
9. Infection Control and Robustness Studies: The ACON On Call Sure/Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for single-patient use. Disinfection efficacy testing on the surface materials of the meter demonstrated complete inactivation of duck hepatitis B virus (HBV) with the chosen disinfectants, DisCide Ultra Disinfecting Towelettes (EPA Registration #10492-4) and PDI Super Sani-Cloth Germicidal Disposal Wipes (EPA Registration #9480-4). Robustness studies were also performed by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance or external materials of the meter after 260 cleaning and disinfection cycles (a total of 520 wipes) designed to simulate 5 years of single-patient use for the ACON On Call Sure/Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
10. The sponsor provided documentation certifying that acceptable electromagnetic (EMC) testing was performed and the ACON On Call Sure/Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System were found to be compliant.
Q. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Parts 801 and 809, as applicable.

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.
