L. Test Principle:
The test principle is a glucose dye oxidoreductase mediator reaction. In step one, glucose is oxidized by the Pyrroloquinoline quinine (PQQ) dependent enzyme glucoe-dye-oxidoreductase (EC.1.1.99.17) to gluconolactate and the reduction equivalents are transferred to the enzyme-bound PQQ to give PQQH₂. In step two, the enzyme transfers the reduction equivalents from PQQH₂ to the oxidized form of the mediator Bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-(4-hydroxyiminocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)-ammonium chloride. In step three the reduced form of the mediator reduces the indicator 2,18-phosphomolybdic acid to produce the color heteropolyblue.

a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Previously established for predicate device
b. Matrix comparison:
In this submission, arterial blood was added as a sample type. A study was performed to evaluate the extent to which results obtained from the Accu-Chek Go system correlate to whole blood glucose reference that has been converted to a plasma-like result, using arterial whole blood. The clinical data demonstrates that the performance of the Accu-Chek Go correlates with the laboratory plasma glucose reference test method, glucose hexokinase.
In the study, arterial samples tested using the Accu-Chek Go meter were compared to results obtained from a reference method, the hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase method. The study utilized two external sites and four test strip lots. Arterial blood from 233 patients was transferred to lithium heparin tubes. The blood was then transferred directly to the test strips. The sample was also deproteinized and tested with the reference method. The following regression formula was obtained from the study: $y = 1.045x + 0.3$, $r = 0.992$. In addition, $98.3\%$ of the results were within $\pm 15 \mathrm{mg/dL}$ for results less than or equal to $100 \mathrm{mg/dL}$ and $\pm 15\%$ for results greater than $100 \mathrm{mg/dL}$. This exceeds Roche's acceptance criteria that $95\%$ of the results be within this range.
3. Clinical studies:
a. Clinical Sensitivity:
Not applicable
b. Clinical specificity:
Not applicable
c. Other clinical supportive data (when a. and b. are not applicable):
4. Clinical cut-off:
Not applicable
5. Expected values/Reference range:
Expected values were previously established for the predicate device. The fasting adult blood glucose range for a non-diabetic is between $74\mathrm{mg/dL}$ and less than $106\mathrm{mg/dL}$.

N. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.
