## L. Test Principle:
The Bioland G-423 Blood Glucose Monitoring System, Model G-423 uses electrochemical methodologies. The system quantitatively measures blood glucose levels using an amperometric method, which involves detecting the current produced from glucose oxidation. The electrons generated during this reaction are transferred from the blood to the electrodes. The magnitude of the resultant current is proportional to the concentration of glucose in the specimen and the signal is converted into a readout displayed on the meter.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
**a. Precision/Reproducibility:**
The sponsor evaluated repeatability evaluation and intermediate precision studies using a protocol based on the ISO 15197. Five levels of venous whole blood over the claimed assay range were used to establish repeatability of the assay. Each sample was analyzed on ten Bioland G-423 glucose meters by one operator using three lots of test strips, for a total of 300 measurements per meter per level. Results are summarized in the following tables:

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Method Comparison:
The sponsor conducted a combined accuracy and consumer study with trained operators and a total of 182 lay-users. Each lay user participant performed their own fingerstick and tested their blood on the Bioland G-423 meter using only the instructions in the user's manual and test strip insert. A trained operator then performed a second fingerstick and tested the blood on the same meter. Venous whole blood was also collected and measured on an YSI analyzer. The total range of samples tested was 35 to 578 mg/dL, with a hematocrit range of 31.3-54.4%. A total of 20 samples (11 samples < 50 mg/dL and 9 samples > 400 mg/dL) were glycolyzed or spiked, respectively and tested by trained operators only. Linear regression results are presented below:
Trained operator vs. YSI-2300 y = 1.024 x - 1.602, r² = 0.9901, x = 202
Lay user vs. YSI-2300 y = 1.013 x + 1.273, r² = 0.9870, x = 182
The study results met the ISO 15197 accuracy criteria where ninety-five percent (95%) of the individual glucose results fell within ±15 mg/dL of the YSI results at glucose concentrations <75 mg/dL and within ±20% at glucose concentrations ≥75 mg/dL.

P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. **Infection Control Studies:**
The device system is intended for single-patient use. Disinfection efficacy studies were performed on the materials comprising the meter and lancing device by an outside commercial testing laboratory demonstrating complete inactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with the chosen disinfectant, DISPATCH® Hospital Cleaner Disinfectant Towels with Bleach by CALTECH wipes (EPA Registration # 59894-10-37549). Robustness studies were also performed by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance or external materials of the meter and lancing device after 5000 cleanings and 5000 disinfection steps with the DISPATCH® Hospital Cleaner Disinfectant Towels with Bleach by CALTECH wipes (EPA Registration # 59894-10-37549). The robustness studies were designed to simulate 5 years of single-patient use. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
2. **Hematocrit study:**
To study the effect of hematocrit, venous blood samples at six glucose concentrations (~30 mg/dL, 75 mg/dL, 150 mg/dL, 250 mg/dL, 400 mg/dL and 500 mg/dL) and hematocrit adjusted to 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 were evaluated on the Bioland G-423 Blood Glucose Monitoring System and compared to the YSI values. In addition, measurements obtained on the Bioland glucose meter were compared to a normal hematocrit (40%). The data supports the sponsor’s claim that hematocrit 15%-55% does not significantly interfere (more than ±15%) with glucose measurements using the test system.
3. **Altitude study:**
An altitude study was performed at elevations up to 10,774 feet with 5 different concentrations of glucose spiked venous whole blood spanning 30 to 500 mg/dL glucose range. Sea level results (98 feet above sea level) were compared to results at higher elevations and to YSI values and were found to be acceptable.
4. **Temperature and humidity studies:**
Temperature and humidity studies were conducted to demonstrate that the Bioland G-423 device can be used at temperatures of 50 to 104°F (4 to 40°C) and at a relative humidity from 60% to 90%, and stored at temperatures of -4 to 140°F (-20 to 60°C) with a relative humidity from 60% to 90%. Studies were conducted with combinations of temperature and humidity to include low temperature and low humidity, low temperature and high humidity, high temperature and low humidity, and high temperature and high humidity. Study results were reviewed and were found to be acceptable, supporting the sponsor stated temperature and humidity claims.
5. **Electromagnetic Interference Studies:**
Additional electromagnetic interference study was performed to verify these new
