## Indications for Use

SureStep®Pro Glucose Control Solutions are for use with SureStep® Brand Blood Glucose Meters and SureStep®Pro Test Strips as a quality control material for verification of System performance. The SureStep®Pro Linearity Test Kit is for use with SureStep® Brand Glucose Meters and SureStep®Pro Test Strips for verification of System linearity.

## Device Story

SureStep®Pro Glucose Control and Linearity Test Solutions; aqueous glucose-based solutions; used with SureStep® blood glucose meters and test strips. Control solutions verify system performance by comparing meter results against expected ranges printed on test strip bottles. Linearity test solutions verify system linearity across measurement range. Used in clinical or home settings by patients or healthcare providers. Output provides qualitative/quantitative verification of system accuracy; failure to fall within expected ranges indicates system malfunction. Benefits patient by ensuring reliable glucose monitoring results.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance verified by comparing meter results using control/linearity solutions against established expected ranges to confirm system accuracy and linearity.

## Technological Characteristics

Aqueous glucose-based solutions; formulated to provide specific glucose concentrations for system verification. Compatible with SureStep® brand meters and test strips. No electronic components, software, or connectivity.

## Regulatory Identification

A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.

## Predicate Devices

- LifeScan SureStep® Glucose (Normal) Control Solution
- Streck Laboratories Sugar-Chex® Linearity kit

## Device Description

The SureStep®Pro Glucose Control and Linearity Test Solutions are designed for use with LifeScan SureStep® Brand Blood Glucose Meters and SureStep®Pro Brand Test Strips.

SureStep®Pro Glucose Control Solutions contain a measured amount of glucose that reacts with the SureStep®Pro Test Strips. When using the same procedure as testing with whole blood, the control solution should provide results within the expected SureStep®Pro Glucose Control Solution range printed on the test strip bottle. Obtaining results outside the expected range indicates the System is not performing correctly.

The SureStep®Pro Linearity Test Solutions contain a measured amount of glucose. When the linearity solution is applied to a SureStep®Pro Test Strip in the same manner as the glucose controls the results are used to verify System linearity.
