Testing with a fingertip sample may identify a hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) level sooner than a test with a forearm or palm sample.
Patients should not test on the palm when it has been less than two hours after a meal, a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus, physical exercise, or they think their glucose level is changing rapidly.
Patients should not test on the palm when they are concerned about the possibility of hypoglycemia.
The OneTouch® InDuo® Blood Glucose Meter also functions as the cap for the InDuo® Insulin Doser. The two devices fit together to form a single unit for user convenience.
The OneTouch UltraSmart® Blood Glucose Monitoring System provides the user with electronic logbook functions that store data such as insulin and oral medication doses, food intake, amount of exercise, and health information such as illness. The meter includes a data port that enables the user to download electronic data to a personal computer.

L. Test Principle:
The test system works by using glucose oxidase biosensor technology. When blood is applied to a test strip inserted into the meter port, the reagents on the strip react with the glucose in the blood to generate small electrical currents. The meter automatically starts and controls the test timing. It measures the electrical currents that are produced to calculate the glucose result.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
See Matrix Comparison below for a comparison of fingertip and palm testing.
b. Matrix comparison:
To evaluate the lay-user performance of alternate site testing in the steady state using the palm, test subjects (diabetic lay users) were provided with the device and asked to do a minimum of two blood glucose tests daily using the palm (one from the thenar and one from the hypothenar). Subjects were instructed not to make any treatment decisions based on the test results.
For the second phase of the study, test subjects reported to the study site in a steady state condition (defined as at least 2 ours after a meal, insulin dose, or physical exercise). The subjects tested themselves using blood from the palm under the observation of a healthcare professional. The healthcare professional then performed tests from the palm and two fingertips. The subjects then consumed a meal and took their usual insulin dose or hypoglycemic medication. The subjects were tested again by the healthcare professionals at predetermined time points over 4 hours for adults or 2 hours for pediatric subjects. At one of time points (chosen randomly), the subject performed their own tests. Hypoglycemic is defined as glucose concentration $\leq 60\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , Euglycemic is defined as glucose concentration $>60$ and $\leq 140\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , and Hyperglycemic is defined as glucose concentration $>140\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . Results, summarized below, support the performance of alternate site testing on the palm when the patient is in the steady state.

# 3. Clinical studies:
a. Clinical Sensitivity:
See Matrix Comparison above for clinical information.
b. Clinical specificity:
See Matrix Comparison above for clinical information.
c. Other clinical supportive data (when a. and b. are not applicable):
During the study, palm testing was first conducted at home to provide subjects an opportunity to read the investigational labeling and experience palm testing prior to reporting to the clinic for observation and equivalency testing. All data was self-reported. This phase of the study involved initial exposure to palm lancing. The palm testing evaluation (Study Visit) incorporated a human factors evaluation as well as provided a controlled formal evaluation of palm lancing. Subjects performed a test on the palm under the observation of a Health Care Professional (HCP) using only the labeling as a guide. This testing was done at the beginning of the study visit, prior to the palm equivalency testing performed by the HCPs. Targeted aspects of subject performance were recorded by the HCP. A total of 181 subjects performed blood glucose self-tests on the palm using the device and investigational labeling. HCPs
{6}
observed and evaluated the test without providing assistance or guidance to the subjects. Subjects were allowed up to two tests to obtain a numeric result. If the subjects did not obtain a numeric result on the first test, they were instructed to re-read the investigational AST Booklet and repeat the test on the palm. The subject could choose the area of the palm to test. Of the 181 subjects participating in the study, 152 (84.0%) of subjects were able to obtain a numeric result after the 1st attempt. A total of 29 (16%) subjects, who did not obtain a numeric result on the 1st attempt, re-read the labeling and repeating the test. After the 2nd attempt all but 3 subjects were able to obtain a numeric result. Analysis of the data suggested that problems were a result of patients using the wrong cap on the lancet despite labeling. To address this, additional emphasis and clarity were added to the labeling regarding 1) obtaining a sufficient blood sample from the palm and 2) which sampler cap to use for alternative site testing.
4. Clinical cut-off: Not applicable
5. Expected values/Reference range: The expected blood glucose levels for people without diabetes are as follows:
| Time | Range (mg/dL) |
| --- | --- |
| Before breakfast | 70 – 105 |
| Before lunch or dinner | 70 – 110 |
| 1 hour after meals | < 160 |
| 2 hours after meals | < 120 |
| Between 2 and 4 AM | > 70 |
N. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.
O. Conclusion:
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.
