The only difference between the GoChek and GoChek Connect meters is that the GoChek Connect meter has Bluetooth connectivity enabled. ### B Principle of Operation: The GoChek and GoChek Connect Blood Glucose meters measure the glucose concentration in capillary whole blood. Blood is applied to the end tip of the test strip. The blood is then automatically absorbed into the reaction cell. The reaction takes place in the reaction cell. The enzyme used is a Flavin-Adenine-Dinucleotide-Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH). FAD-GDH oxidizes glucose to gluconolactone (GDL) and a transient electrical current is formed during the reaction which is detected by the meter. The blood glucose concentration is then calculated based on the electrical current. The result is then shown on the meter display in mg/dL for the user. The meters are calibrated to display plasma equivalent results. ### C Instrument Description Information: | Modes of Operation | Yes | No | | --- | --- | --- | | Does the applicant’s device contain the ability to transmit data to a computer, webserver, or mobile device? | ☑ | ☐ | | Does the applicant’s device transmit data to a computer, webserver, or mobile device using wireless transmission? | ☑ | ☐ | K193340 - Page 3 of 12 {3} | Modes of Operation | Yes | No | | --- | --- | --- | | **Software** | | | | FDA has reviewed applicant’s Hazard Analysis and software development processes for this line of product types. | ☑ | ☐ | 1. **Instrument Name:** GoChek Blood Glucose Monitoring System GoChek Connect Blood Glucose Monitoring System 2. **Specimen Identification:** There is no sample identification function with this device. Samples are applied directly to the test strip as they are collected. 3. **Specimen Sampling and Handling:** Samples are to be tested immediately upon collection. 4. **Calibration:** The meter does not require calibration or coding by the user. The meter is automatically coded. 5. **Quality Control:** The sponsor manufactures two (2) levels of GoChek control solutions. Each test strip vial is marked with a control solution range (CTRL1 and CTRL2). The user is instructed to compare the control results with the expected control ranges printed on the strip vial. Users are given instructions on when to conduct control solution testing and to call customer service if repeat testing with control material is out of range. The meter automatically detects that a control solution is being used. When a control solution test is performed, the test results will not be included in the 'day average' calculation.

Therefore, the analytical studies performed with the GoChek Blood Glucose Monitoring System are representative of the performance for both systems in this 510(k) submission. 1. Precision/Reproducibility: Within-Run Precision The sponsor performed a repeatability study (within day) precision study using venous whole blood adjusted to five different glucose concentration ranges (30-50, 51-110, 111-150, 151-250, and 251-400 mg/dL). Each glucose concentration was analyzed in replicates of 10 with three test strips lots, and 10 meters, for a total of 100 tests per glucose level. Results are summarized in the table below: | Glucose Level | Average | SD | CV | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 35.3 | 1.88 | 5.3% | | 2 | 95.8 | 2.81 | 2.9% | | 3 | 128.3 | 3.74 | 2.9% | | 4 | 221.4 | 6.31 | 2.8% | | 5 | 382.9 | 10.05 | 2.6% | Intermediate Precision Intermediate (day-to-day) precision was performed using five ranges of glucose control solution concentrations (30-50, 51-110, 111-150, 151-250, and 251-400 mg/dL). Testing was performed for 10 days with three test strip lots. For each level, on each day, 10 meters were used for testing, with one replicate collected per meter for a total of 10 replicates per day for each control solution level, for a total of 100 tests per control solution level. Results are summarized below: | Glucose Level | Average | SD | CV | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 37.5 | 1.61 | 4.3% | | 2 | 77.5 | 2.27 | 2.9% | | 3 | 128.0 | 3.01 | 2.4% | | 4 | 193.0 | 3.71 | 1.9% | | 5 | 346.7 | 7.07 | 2.0% | 2. Linearity: Linearity testing was evaluated with test strips from three lots and 11 mixed pools of venous whole blood samples with glucose concentrations of 7.5, 25.2, 43.7, 72.6, 95.5, 152.5, 199.5, 252.0, 300.0, 405.5, 511.5, and 578.0 mg/dL as measured with the YSI Model 2300 STAT K193340 - Page 6 of 12 {6} PLUS glucose analyzer. Each level was measured in replicates of four and the values obtained on the GoChek Blood Glucose Monitoring System were compared to the comparator. Linear regression analysis of the results yielded the following: | Lot | Slope | y-intercept | R2 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 0.9960 | -4.4024 | 0.9997 | | 2 | 0.9743 | -0.9445 | 0.9997 | | 3 | 0.9949 | -3.1076 | 0.9996 | The results of the study support the sponsor's claimed glucose measuring range of 10 - 580 mg/dL. If a sample is less than 10 mg/dL, the result is flagged by the meter as LO. If the result is greater than 580 mg/dL, the result is flagged by the meter as HI. This low and high functions were validated and demonstrated to function as intended. # 3. Analytical Specificity/Interference: Interference testing was conducted using venous whole blood adjusted to a hematocrit of $42\% \pm 2\%$ and glucose was adjusted to the following levels: $50 - 70 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ , $110 - 130 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ and $250 - 270 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ . Control blood samples were prepared by adding solvent with no interferant. Control and test samples were measured using 10 strips on each of 2 meters using 3 strip lots. The highest tested concentrations at which no significant interference was observed (defined by the sponsor as average $\%$ bias $\leq \pm 10\%$ ) are presented in the following table: | Substances | Highest concentration testing with no significant interference | | --- | --- | | Acetaminophen | 20 mg/dL | | Ascorbic Acid | 3 mg/dL | | Cholesterol | 500 mg/dL | | Conjugated-Bilirubin | 50 mg/dL | | Creatinine | 15 mg/dL | | Dopamine | 20 mg/dL | | EDTA | 200 mg/dL | | Galactose | 100 mg/dL | | Gentisic acid | 10 mg/dL | | Glutathione Reduced | 92 mg/dL | | Hemoglobin | 2000 mg/dL | | Heparin Sodium | 80000 u/L | | Ibuprofen | 50 mg/dL | | Icodestrin | 1094.4 mg/dL | | Isomalt | 0.09 mg/dL | | L-Dopa (Levo-Dopa) | 3 mg/dL | | Lactitol | 0.09 mg/dL | | Maltitol | 0.09 mg/dL | | Maltose | 9000 mg/dL | | Mannitol | 0.09 mg/dL | | Methyl Dopa | 1.5 mg/dL | K193340 - Page 7 of 12 {7} | Substances | Highest concentration testing with no significant interference | | --- | --- | | Paralidoxime Idodine (PAM) | 80 mg/dL | | Salicylic Acid | 60 mg/dL | | Sodium | 414 mg/dL | | Sorbitol | 0.09 mg/dL | | Tolazamide | 10 mg/dL | | Tolbutamide | 64 mg/dL | | Triglycerides | 3000 mg/dL | | Uric Acid | 24 mg/dL | | Xylitol | 0.09 mg/dL | | Xylose | 40 mg/dL | The sponsor includes the following in the labeling for the GoChek and the GoChek Connect Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems: - If you are taking Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, blood concentrations >3 mg/dL) at doses higher than recommended, it may interfere with your glucose meter and cause you to get inaccurate results with this system. - Do not use this system during or shortly after receiving xylose absorption therapy; xylose may case inaccurate blood glucose results. 4.

Results were analyzed by comparing the blood glucose results obtained by the lay users with the GoChek Connect Blood Glucose Monitoring System against results obtained with a laboratory-based comparator method (YSI Model 2300 STAT PLUS glucose analyzer). The glucose concentrations in the samples ranged from $42.2 - 420.1\mathrm{mg / dL}$, as measured by the YSI Model 2300 STAT PLUS glucose analyzer. Results are summarized in the tables below: K193340 - Page 9 of 12 {9} K193340 - Page 10 of 12 | For glucose concentrations < 75 mg/dL: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Within ± 5 mg/dL | Within ± 10 mg/dL | Within ± 15 mg/dL | Within ± 20 mg/dL | | 21/25 (84.0%) | 25/25 (100%) | 25/25 (100%) | 25/25 (100%) | | For glucose concentrations > 75 mg/dL: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Within ± 5% | Within ± 10% | Within ± 15% | Within ± 20% | | 165/335 (49.3%) | 269/335 (80.3%) | 329/335 (98.2%) | 335/335 (100%) | | Combined glucose concentrations across the measuring range: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Within ± 5% | Within ± 10% | Within ± 15% | Within ± 20% | | 176/360 (48.9%) | 289/360 (80.3%) | 353/360 (98.1%) | 360/360 (100%) | **Accuracy at Extreme Glucose Study:** An additional accuracy study was performed by testing 240 capillary fingerstick whole blood samples containing glucose concentrations from 12.5 to 584.3 mg/dL. Samples were altered by spiking or glycolysis to obtain 120 samples with glucose <80 mg/dL, ranging from 12.5 to 79 mg/dL, and 120 samples with glucose concentrations >250 mg/dL, ranging from 251 to 584.3 mg/dL. Samples obtained using the GoChek Connect Blood Glucose Monitoring System were compared to the results obtained on the comparator method (YSI 2300 STAT PLUS). Results are summarized in the tables below: | For glucose concentrations < 80 mg/dL: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Within ± 5% | Within ± 10% | Within ± 15% | Within ± 20% | | 40/120 (39.2%) | 92/120 (76.7%) | 117/120 (97.5%) | 120/120 (100%) | | For glucose concentrations >250 mg/dL: | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Within ± 5% | Within ± 10% | Within ± 15% | Within ± 20% | | 46/120 (38.3%) | 92/120 (76.7%) | 117/120 (97.5%) | 119/120 (99.2%) | **Readability:** The user manual and inserts were assessed for readability using the Flesch-Kincaid's assessment and it was observed that the overall readability level was as that of an 8th grader. **D Clinical Cut-Off:** Not Applicable **E Expected Values/Reference Range:** The following expected glucose values for people without diabetes are included in the device labeling: | Time | Range, mg/dL | Range, mmol/L | | --- | --- | --- | | Fasting and Before Meals | 70 – 100 | 3.9 – 5.6 | | 2 Hours After Meal | Less than 140 | Less than 7.8 | {10} Source: Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes - 2020, Diabetes Care 2020 Jan; 43 (Supplement 1): S1-S2. ## F Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data: ### 1. Altitude Study To evaluate the effect of altitude on the GoChek Blood Glucose Monitoring System, a study was conducted using venous whole blood samples adjusted with four concentration levels of glucose ranging from 40-500 mg/dL. Samples were tested at two different altitude conditions at sea level (65 feet) and 11,410 feet. Blood samples were tested using 10 test strips at each altitude condition for each glucose concentration. Eighty test strips from 3 lots were used. The results obtained on the candidate device were compared with the results obtained with the comparator method, YSI 2300 STAT PLUS glucose analyzer. The results demonstrated acceptable bias to the comparator to support the claim in the labeling that glucose measurement performance of the GoChek Blood Glucose Monitoring System is maintained at altitudes up to 10,000 feet. ### 2. Hematocrit To evaluate the effect of hematocrit on the GoChek Blood Glucose Monitoring System, venous blood samples were adjusted to hematocrit levels of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%. Each hematocrit level was adjusted to achieve five glucose concentration ranges (30-50 mg/dL, 51-110 mg/dL, 111-150 mg/dL, 151-250 mg/dL, and 251-400 mg/dL). Blood samples were tested using the GoChek meter with test strips from three lots and the mean glucose values were compared to the results obtained on the comparator method, YSI 2300 STAT PLUS glucose analyzer. The percent biases relative to the comparator method demonstrated were acceptable to support the claimed hematocrit range of 10 to 70%. ### 3. Operating Conditions The effect of temperature and relative humidity on the GoChek Blood Glucose Monitoring System was evaluated using venous whole blood samples adjusted to approximately four glucose concentration ranges (40-50, 100-120, 250-300, and 500-550 mg/dL). Testing was conducted under the following temperature and relative humidity (RH) combinations: 5°C at 10% relative humidity (RH), 5°C at 90% RH, 21°C at 10% RH, 21°C at 90% RH, 21°C at 45% RH, 45°C at 10% RH and 45°C at 90% RH. Test strips from three lots were used to test the blood samples at each glucose concentration in 10 replicates of 10. Values were compared to results from the comparator method, YSI 2300 STAT PLUS glucose analyzer. The study results support the operating conditions claim of 41-113°F (5-45°C) with relative humidity of 10% to 90%. ### 4. Sample volume Study The sponsor performed a study to support the claimed minimum sample volume of 0.5 μL for the GoChek Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Venous whole blood samples K193340 - Page 11 of 12 {11} with three ranges of glucose concentrations (50-65, 100-120, 200-250 mg/dL) were tested at five sample volumes (0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 μL). Each sample was tested with 10 test strips from 3 lots. Values obtained were compared to the comparator method, YSI 2300 STAT PLUS. The meter has an error message that is displayed if insufficient blood is added to the test strip. This feature was validated and was shown to function as intended. The study results support the claimed sample volume of 0.5 μL. ## 5. Flex Studies The following additional flex studies were performed with the GoChek Blood Glucose Monitoring System: sample perturbation, sample outside measuring range, intermittent sampling, drop, vibration, and shipping testing were completed. The testing performed demonstrated that the device is robust under these conditions. ## 6. Infection Control Studies The two device systems, GoChek and GoChek Connect Blood Glucose Monitoring System, are intended for single-patient use only. Disinfection efficacy studies were performed on the materials comprising the meter by an outside commercial testing laboratory demonstrating complete inactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with the chosen disinfectant, CaviWipes (EPA Registration # 46781-8). Robustness studies were also performed by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance or external materials of the meter after 7,665 cleanings and disinfection steps with the CaviWipes wipes. The robustness studies were designed to simulate 3 years of single-patient use. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures. ## 7. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing The sponsor provided documentation certifying that acceptable electrical safety and EMC testing had been performed and the system was found to be compliant. ## VIII Proposed Labeling: The labeling supports the finding of substantial equivalence for this device. ## IX Conclusion: The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.
