Intended Use

The InPen dose calculator, a component of the InPen app, is indicated for the management of diabetes by people with diabetes age 12 and older by calculating an insulin dose or carbohydrate intake based on user entered data. The device is indicated for use with NovoLog® or Humalog® U-100 insulin. For an insulin dose based on amount of carbohydrates, a healthcare provide patient-specific target blood glucose, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, and insulin sensitivity parameters to be programmed into the software prior to use. For an insulin dose based on fixed/variable meal sizes, a healthcare professional must provide patient-specific fixed doses/ meal sizes to be programmed into the software prior to use.

Device Story

InPen app component; manages wireless insulin dose data transfer; logs insulin data; provides dose calculator for MDI therapy patients. Inputs: user-entered carbohydrate amounts or meal sizes; programmed clinical parameters (target glucose, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, insulin sensitivity). Operation: calculates insulin doses for meals/corrections; accounts for insulin-on-board (IOB) to mitigate stacking. Output: recommended insulin dose. Used by patients (age 12+) in home/clinic settings. Healthcare providers program parameters. Output assists patient in determining insulin bolus; reduces risk of insulin stacking; improves diabetes management.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical trials; bench testing and usability evaluation only. Summative usability evaluation with patients demonstrated ability to perform critical tasks after self-training without critical errors. Hazard analysis performed per ISO 14971. Dose calculation logic validated against standard clinical approaches and published insulin action duration studies (Mudaliar et al., 1999).

Technological Characteristics

Software-based dose calculator; operates on Android/iOS platforms. Connectivity via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Logic uses standard insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios, insulin sensitivity factors, and insulin-on-board (IOB) tracking. Software level of concern: Major.

Indications for Use

Indicated for diabetes management in patients age 12 and older using multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy. Requires use with NovoLog or Humalog U-100 insulin. Requires healthcare professional to program patient-specific parameters (target blood glucose, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, insulin sensitivity, or fixed meal doses).

PREDICATE DEVICES InPen System (K160629) This predicate has not been subject to a design-related recall. No reference devices were used in this submission. #### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The InPen app is designed to manage the wireless transfer of insulin dose data from the InPen, log insulin dose data, and provide a dose calculator to aid mealtime insulin dose calculations. The insulin dose calculations provided by the app are meant for patients undergoing multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy. The InPen app is not intended to serve as an accessory to an insulin pump. #### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE The InPen dose calculator, a component of the InPen app, is indicated for the management of diabetes by people with diabetes age 12 and older by calculating an insulin dose or carbohydrate intake based on user entered data. The device is indicated for use with NovoLog® or Humalog® U-100 insulin. {4}------------------------------------------------ For an insulin dose based on amount of carbohydrates, a healthcare professional must provide patient-specific target blood glucose, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, and insulin sensitivity parameters to be programmed into the software prior to use. For an insulin dose based on fixed/variable meal sizes, a healthcare professional must provide patient-specific fixed doses/meal sizes to be programmed into the software prior to use. #### VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE The InPen dose calculator is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed dose calculators. Specifically, the InPen dose calculator is substantially equivalent to the InPen dose calculator (K160629) cleared on July 26, 2016. The InPen dose calculator has the same intended use and indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the previously cleared predicate device. A substantial equivalence chart of the similarities and differences between the InPen dose calculator and the predicate device is shown in Table 1. The minor differences in technological characteristics do not change the intended use or raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. | Attribute | Subject Device<br>(K190487) | Predicate Device<br>(K160629) | |---------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Classification | (Class II - NDC - 21 CFR §868.1890) | Same | | Indications For Use | The InPen dose calculator, a<br>component of the InPen app, is<br>indicated for the management of<br>diabetes by people with diabetes<br>age 12 and older by calculating an<br>insulin dose or carbohydrate intake<br>based on user entered data. | The InPen dose calculator, a<br>component of the InPen app, is<br>indicated for the management of<br>diabetes by people with diabetes<br>age 12 and older by calculating<br>an insulin dose or carbohydrate<br>intake based on user entered<br>data.

Performance Data ### Software Verification and Validation Testing Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "major" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software could directly result in serious injury or death to the patient or operator. ### Clinical Evidence Companion Medical has demonstrated the InPen dose calculator is appropriate for its intended use through the use of hazard analysis according ISO 14971. Verification and validation of the {6}------------------------------------------------ user interface was completed through a comprehensive usability evaluation. In the summative evaluation, patients with sufficient diabetes knowledge completed self-training and then completed a series of critical tasks using the InPen dose calculator. The summative evaluation demonstrated that after self-training, patients were able to use the InPen dose calculator without making critical errors that could lead to a hazard. No new use-related hazards were identified during the study. The InPen dose calculator satisfies all functional performance and safety requirements, meets its intended use, and is safe for the intended user population. Substantial equivalence was based in part on the evaluation. The dose calculator uses the standard approach using healthcare provider specified insulin-tocarbohydrate ratio and insulin sensitivity factors for making calculations. In addition, the calculator includes a consideration for insulin on-board based on the published study by Mudaliar et al (1999) for the duration of insulin action. #### VIII. CONCLUSIONS The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, as demonstrated by performance data. It has the same intended use/indications for use, and substantially equivalent technological characteristics and principles of operation.
