PERFORMANCE DATA ## Bench Testing Shelf-life stability, package integrity, and ship testing of the TAP Device have been performed with passing results. Heparin potency studies were also conducted to support the TAP Device's specifications for lithium heparin. The testing confirms that the TAP Device is stable and fully functional for its intended use. # Clinical Testing Multiple clinical studies were conducted to establish the safety and effectiveness profile of the TAP Device. A description of the clinical testing is provided below. {7}------------------------------------------------ # Pivotal Study A prospective pivotal study was conducted at multiple sites to demonstrate the overall performance of the TAP Device. A total of 143 participants were enrolled in the study, spanning representative age, gender, ethnicity, race, and health status (healthy/non-diabetic and diabetic) populations. Each participant underwent a TAP Device sample collection as well as a venipuncture collection. Samples were then analyzed within 6 hours of collection. The results of the pivotal study include: - A method comparison was conducted at three hospital clinic sites by ● healthcare workers to establish equivalency of the TAP Device by comparing HbA1c levels in blood samples collected using the TAP Device with HbA1c levels in blood samples collected by venipuncture. Accuracy of the method comparison demonstrated that the HbA1c results from the TAP Device blood samples are equivalent to those from venipuncture blood samples. The mean percentage bias observed between the methods was -0.1% with a 95% Confidence Interval of (-0.4%, 0.2%). In addition, the correlation coefficient (r-) of 0.9878 that was observed indicates there are no significant differences between the matrices when used for HbA1c testing. A detailed summary of the method comparison results for two different HbA1c analyzers used at each site is included in the following table: | Site | Analyzer | N | Slope<br>est. | 95% CI for<br>Slope | Intercept<br>est. | 95% CI for<br>Intercept | Corr. | |----------|----------|-----|---------------|---------------------|-------------------|-------------------------|-------| | 1 | one | 43 | 1.025 | (0.993,1.058) | -0.19 | (-0.43, 0.05) | 0.995 | | 2 | one | 36 | 0.984 | (0.939, 1.028) | 0.05 | (-0.26, 0.36) | 0.992 | | 3 | one | 43 | 1.028 | (1.003, 1.054) | -0.20 | (-0.40, -0.01) | 0.997 | | Combined | one | 122 | 1.021 | (1.003, 1.039) | -0.17 | (-0.30, -0.04) | 0.995 | | 1 | two | 43 | 1.002 | (0.974, 1.030) | 0.01 | (-0.20, 0.21) | 0.996 | | 2 | two | 35 | 0.988 | (0.933, 1.043) | 0.05 | (-0.31, 0.41) | 0.988 | | 3 | two | 43 | 1.053 | (1.009, 1.098) | -0.34 | (-0.66, -0.01) | 0.991 | | Combined | two | 121 | 1.024 | (1.001, 1.047) | -0.15 | (-0.32, 0.01) | 0.993 | - Lot-to-lot variability testing was performed at three hospital clinic sites by ● healthcare workers. Lot-to-lot variability was evaluated by comparing HbA1c levels in TAP Device blood samples collected by the same operator on the same subject at each site using three different production lots. SD and %CV calculations across the HbA1c test results at each site and for the three sites combined confirm that there is no significant difference in HbA1c test results from samples collected with the different TAP Device production lots. The lotto-lot imprecision results were similar for each of the three test sites. The within lot imprecision for the three sites ranged from 0.87% to 2.09% CV, the between lot imprecision ranged from 0.0% to 0.89% CV, and the total imprecision ranged from 1.20% to 2.09% CV. The combined site lot-to-lot imprecision results are summarized in the following table (72 subjects, 200 TAP collections): {8}------------------------------------------------ | Mean %<br>HbA1c | Variance<br>Component | Mean<br>CV (%) | 95% Lower<br>Confidence<br>Limit (%) | 95% Upper<br>Confidence<br>Limit (%) | |-----------------|-----------------------|----------------|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| | 5.94 | Within Lot | 1.82 | 1.61 | 2.09 | | 5.94 | Between Lot | 0.0 | N/A | N/A | | 5.94 | Total | 1.82 | 1.62 | 2.09 | | 8.43 | Within Lot | 1.16 | 1.00 | 1.39 | | 8.43 | Between Lot | 0.59 | 0.38 | 1.31 | | 8.43 | Total | 1.30 | 1.13 | 1.55 | - Inter-operator variability was evaluated at three hospital clinic sites by healthcare workers. Three different operators at each site collected TAP Device blood samples from the same subject using the same TAP Device production lot and then the HbA1c levels across the three operators were compared. SD and %CV calculations across the HbA1c test results at each site and for the three sites combined confirm that there is no significant difference in HbAlc test results from samples collected by the different TAP Device operators. The inter-operator imprecision results were similar for each of the three test sites. The within operator imprecision for the three sites ranged from 1.22% to 1.73% CV, the between operator imprecision ranged from 0.0% to 0.94% CV, and the total imprecision ranged from 1.44% to 1.73% CV. The combined site inter-operator imprecision results are summarized in the following table (67 subjects, 195 TAP collections): | Mean %<br>HbA1c | Variance<br>Component | Mean CV<br>(%) | 95% Lower<br>Confidence<br>Limit (%) | 95% Upper<br>Confidence<br>Limit (%) | |-----------------|-----------------------|----------------|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| | 5.94 | Within Operator | 1.59 | 1.39 | 1.86 | | | Between Operator | 0.0 | N/A | N/A | | | Total | 1.59 | 1.40 | 1.85 | | 8.77 | Within Operator | 1.35 | 1.18 | 1.60 | | | Between Operator | 0.39 | 0.26 | 0.73 | | | Total | 1.41 | 1.23 | 1.65 | - Safety of the TAP Device was demonstrated as the result of no significant ● adverse events reported throughout the study. Minimal dermal responses were observed (e.g., erythema, edema) and expected skin irritation was reported because of using the TAP Device, none of which was clinically significant. Study participants' Wong-Baker Pain Rating Scale survey results showed that pain from the TAP Device collection was significantly less than pain from venipuncture collection. {9}------------------------------------------------ # Analyte Stability Study A prospective study was conducted to confirm the stability of the TAP Device sample for HbA1c testing according to its labeling. In this study, multiple TAP Device samples were collected and then analyzed at various time points to demonstrate that similar HbA1c results can be obtained within 6 hours of collection. A total of two or three samples were tested from each participant. All samples were measured for HbA1c in duplicate using an FDA cleared HbA1c analyzer. The average TAP percent differences in HbA1c measured after 3 hours (0.4%) and 6 hours (-1.5%) support the recommendation that blood samples collected with the TAP Devices can be analyzed for HbA1c within 6 hours. # Usability Study The usability of the TAP Device was assessed in a prospective study. The objective of the study was to demonstrate adequate label comprehension and correct TAP Device use from the intended users of the product. The study was conducted in two phases: 1) TAP Device actuation (by pushing the green activation button) and blood collection and 2) TAP Device extraction. All participants used the TAP Device according to the written instructions. Upon completion, the participants were given a survey to assess the usability of the TAP Device. The survey responses obtained demonstrated that 95.5% of the respondents agreed that the TAP Device actuation and collection procedure was easy to execute with the provided instructions for use. The survey responses obtained demonstrated that 92.5% of respondents agreed that the TAP Device extraction procedure was easy to execute with the provided instructions. The results of the study demonstrated the TAP Device was easy to use by healthcare workers with the provided instructions. # Sample Quality Studies The sample collection time of the TAP Device was measured in three studies. The mean collection time of 209 TAP Devices was 3 minutes and 21 seconds. The sample volume yielded was also assessed by measuring the amount of blood extracted from the device. The mean blood volume extracted from the TAP Devices was 104.6 µl. Clotting in the TAP Device samples was visually assessed in the three studies. In two of these studies, the TAP Devices were allowed to sit for various periods of time prior to sample extraction and clotting inspection, up to 6 hours and 5 minutes. The results of these three studies showed that in 209 samples, a single small clot was observed in 19 of the samples (9%) and have been shown not to have an effect on HbA1c determinations. Hemolysis was assessed in one study by measuring free plasma hemoglobin in collected TAP Device samples using the Hemocue Plasma/Low Hb meter. Following collection, the TAP Devices sat for various periods of time prior to sample extraction, processing, and testing, up to 6 hours and 5 minutes. The results of the study showed an average free plasma hemoglobin of 102.5 mg/dL for 69 TAP Device blood samples tested and had no effect on HbA1c determinations. {10}------------------------------------------------ # Biocompatibility and Sterility Studies The TAP Device underwent a biocompatibility and sterility evaluation by third party testing and the device was found to be compliant. #### 11. STATEMENT OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS The TAP Device design, function, and intended use is as safe and effective as the predicate device for collecting a blood sample that is used for determination of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). The data presented in this 510(k) Premarket Notification further supports this conclusion. Therefore, the TAP Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
