System comprises portable battery-operated meter, test strips, and control solution. Used for in vitro quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood. Operated by patients at home or healthcare professionals in clinical settings. User applies blood sample to test strip inserted into meter; device performs electrochemical measurement of glucose concentration. Output displayed on meter screen; assists in monitoring diabetes control effectiveness. Control solution used to verify system accuracy.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical accuracy and method correlation study compared modified system against original system and YSI 2300 reference analyzer. Study population included men and women, ages 19 to 80s, with Type I and Type II diabetes. Tested glucose range: 25-80 mg/dL to >250 mg/dL. Results met acceptance criteria, including Clarke Error Grid Analysis.

## Technological Characteristics

Portable, battery-operated blood glucose meter. Uses electrochemical test strips and control solution for in vitro diagnostic measurement. Quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood.

## Regulatory Identification

A glucose test system is a device intended to measure glucose quantitatively in blood and other body fluids. Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, and idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is solely intended for use as a drink to test glucose tolerance, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

Hypoguard Advance Blood Glucose Monitoring System

## 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

3. PREDICATE DEVICE:

The Hypoquard Advance Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of a meter, test strips, and control solution. It is intended for over-the-counter, home use by diabetics to monitor their blood glucose levels, or for use in a clinical setting by health care professionals. The system tests fresh capillary whole blood. The meter is a portable, battery-operated instrument designed for use with Hypoguard Advance Blood Glucose Test Strips.

- 5. INTENDED USE:
This modification does not alter the original intended use:

The Hypoquard Advance Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood. Testing is done outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use). It is indicated for use at home (over the counter [OTC]) by persons with diabetes, or in a clinical setting by healthcare professionals, as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.

{1}------------------------------------------------

# 6. SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The modification has not altered the Hypoquard Advance Blood Glucose Monitoring System technological characteristics.

The modified Hypoquard Advance System has the same technological characteristics as the original device.

## 7. NON-CLINICAL TESTING

Precision Study: Testing was performed identically to the original Advance 510(k). Within run, between run and total CV% were calculated identically to original 510(k). Acceptance criteria were met. Dynamic range claims and minimum sample volume claims were validated.

## 8. CLINICAL TESTING

Accuracy/method correlation testing was done comparing the modified Hypoquard Advance System against the original Hypoquard Advance System and the YSI 2300 analyzer (reference method). Testing included both men and women, both Type I and Type II diabetes, ages from nineteen to the eighties, and a wide range of educational levels. Tested blood glucose values encompassed the 25-80 mq/dL range on the low end to values over 250 mg/dL at the high level. Acceptance criteria were met, including Clarke Error Grid Analysis.

## 9. CONCLUSIONS FROM TESTING

Testing demonstrated that the results were within acceptance criteria. Therefore the modification did not adversely affect performance characteristics.
