## IV Device/System Characteristics:
### A Device Description:
Sejoy Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of the Sejoy Blood Glucose Meter and the Sejoy Blood Glucose Test Strips and the Sejoy Advanced Link Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of the Sejoy Advanced Link Blood Glucose Meter and the Sejoy Blood Glucose Test Strips. The test strips can be purchased in vials or individually wrapped foil packages.
The Sejoy Advanced Link Blood Glucose Meter uses Bluetooth to transmit glucose readings wirelessly to mobile devices to the Glucojoy App. Both meters have an optional voice feature that speaks certain messages such as the glucose results once testing is completed, announces when the battery is low, speaks the error codes if an error were to occur etc.
The Sejoy Blood Glucose Control Solutions (CTRL1, CTRL2, CTRL3), Sejoy Lancing Device (K222034) and Sejoy Disposable Safety Lancets (K222408) can be purchased separately for use with both systems.
### B Principle of Operation:
The Sejoy Blood Glucose Monitoring System and Sejoy Advance Link Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems quantitatively measure the amount of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood from the fingertip. Blood is applied to the end tip of the test strip and is then automatically pulled into the reaction cell through capillary action. The reaction area of the test strip includes the enzyme glucose dehydrogenase with cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD-GDH) and mediator. Glucose in the sample reacts with the test strip chemistry to produce an electric current, which is proportional to the amount of glucose in the sample. The meter measures the strength of the current and displays the corresponding blood glucose concentration. The meter provides plasma-equivalent results.

2. Linearity:
The linearity was evaluated using venous whole blood samples adjusted to 11 glucose levels ranging from 17 to 619 mg/dL (17, 74, 139, 195, 253, 317, 382, 433, 492, 551 and 619 mg/dL as measured by comparator method YSI 2300 Analyzer) with 3 lots of test strips. Test procedures were performed in 4 replicates per lot per concentration level. Glucose results obtained using the Sejoy Advance Link Blood Glucose Monitoring System were compared to those obtained using comparator method YSI 2300 analyzer. The results of the regression analysis are: $y = 1.0063x + 0.9607$ ; $R^2 = 0.99667$ .
The results of the study support the sponsor's claimed glucose measuring range of 20 to 600 mg/dL. If a sample result is less than 20 mg/dL glucose, the result is flagged by the meter as "Lo". If a sample result exceeds 600 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.

# 3. Analytical Specificity/Interference:
To assess potential interference, studies were performed by spiking 33 exogenous and endogenous substances into venous whole blood adjusted to three glucose levels ( $\sim 60 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , $\sim 125 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , and $\sim 240 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ ). Each of these samples was divided into a test pool and a control pool, with the potential endogenous and exogenous interfering substances added to the test pool. The relative bias ( $\mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ ) and $\%$ bias between the test sample and the control sample was calculated using the mean of 10 replicates for each of 3 strip lots tested. The highest tested concentration for each substance at which no significant interference was observed (defined by the sponsor as less than $\pm 10\%$ ) is summarized in the following table:

2. System Operating Conditions Study
To evaluate device performance over varying operating temperature and humidity conditions, venous whole blood samples were adjusted to 5 glucose levels (20-50, 51-110, 111-150, 151-250, and 251-600 mg/dL). There were four extreme temperature and humidity combinations tested (high temperature/low humidity 45°C/10%, low temperature/high humidity 5°C/90%, high temperature/high humidity 45°C/90%, and low temperature/low humidity 5°C/10%). The results obtained with the candidate system were compared to those obtained with the comparator method (YSI 2300 analyzer). The results support the claims in the labeling that the candidate blood glucose monitoring systems can be used in conditions of 41 to 113°F (5 to 45°C) with relative humidity of 10 to 90%.
3. Altitude Effects Study
To evaluate the effects of altitude, a study was conducted using fingerstick whole blood samples altered to achieve 5 glucose concentrations ranging from 40.0 to 319.2 mg/dL. Each sample was tested using 3 test strip lots and 2 glucose in a pressurized chamber with corresponding pressure and oxygen content at 8 simulated altitudes from 0 to 11,482.9 ft. The results of obtained with the candidate system were compared to those obtained with the comparator method (YSI 2300 analyzer). The results support the claims that the candidate blood glucose monitoring systems function as intended at altitudes up to the claimed altitude of 10,000 feet.
4. Sample Volume Study
Venous blood samples were prepared at 3 glucose range intervals (0-65 mg/dL, 100-120 mg/dL, and 200-250 mg/dL) and were tested at different sample volumes starting at 1.0 µL and incrementally decreased by 0.1 µL until an error code appeared. The results of obtained with the candidate system were compared to those obtained with the comparator method (YSI 2300 analyzer). The sponsor provided validation studies demonstrating that with blood volumes below 0.6 µL, the insufficient sample volume error message functioned as intended. The results support the claimed minimum sample volume of 0.6 µL for the candidate blood glucose monitoring systems.
5. Flex Studies
The following additional flex studies were performed with the candidate system: drop/shock, early test strip removal, intermittent sampling, sample outside measuring range, sample perturbation, shipping, used test strips and vibration testing. The results demonstrated that the performance of the candidate blood glucose monitoring systems are robust under these conditions.

6. Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing
The sponsor provided documentation certifying that acceptable electrical safety and (EMC) testing had been performed. The Sejoy blood glucose monitoring system was found to be compliant.
7. Infection Control Testing
The device systems are intended for single-patient use only. Disinfection efficacy studies were performed on the external meter materials by an outside commercial testing laboratory demonstrating complete inactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with the chosen disinfectant, CaviWipes Disinfecting Towelettes (EPA Registration # 46781-17). A robustness study was also conducted by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance nor in the external materials of the meter after 4000 cleaning and disinfection cycles using the CaviWipes Disinfecting Towelettes. The robustness studies were designed to simulate 3 years of single-patient device use. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
8. Glucose Test Strip Lot Release Protocol
The test strip lot release protocol and criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable.
VIII Proposed Labeling:

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.
