# L. Test Principle:

The VivaChek Ino Blood Glucose Monitoring System is designed to quantitatively measure the glucose concentration in fresh capillary whole blood. The glucose measurement is achieved by using the amperometric detection method. The test is based on measurement of electrical current caused by the reaction of the glucose with the reagents on the electrode of the test strip. The blood sample is pulled into the tip of the test strip through capillary action. Glucose in the sample reacts with glucose enzyme and the mediator. Electrons are generated, producing a current that is correlated to the glucose concentration in the sample. After the reaction time, the glucose concentration in the sample is displayed. The meter is calibrated to display plasma-like concentration results.

# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

# 1. Analytical performance:

# a. Precision/Reproducibility:

The sponsor performed repeatability (within-run) precision studies using venous whole blood spiked to 5 different glucose concentration levels (30 to 50, 51 to 110,

{4}

111 to 150, 151 to 250, 251 to 400). Each glucose concentration level was analyzed in replicates of 10, with 3 test strip lots, and 10 meters, for a total of 300 tests per glucose level for each meter. Results are summarized below:

## Repeatability (within-run precision):

| Glucose Level, mg/dL | Strip Lot | n | Average Glucose mg/dL | SD, mg/dL | CV, % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 30-50 | 1 | 100 | 41.7 | 2.7 | 6.4 |

| | 3 | 100 | 132.8 | 4.3 | 3.2 |
| 151-250 | 1 | 100 | 202.0 | 6.4 | 3.2 |
| | 2 | 100 | 201.4 | 6.8 | 3.4 |
| | 3 | 100 | 201.3 | 6.4 | 3.2 |
| 251-400 | 1 | 100 | 372.2 | 10.1 | 2.7 |
| | 2 | 100 | 368.3 | 10.2 | 2.8 |
| | 3 | 100 | 370.1 | 10.7 | 2.9 |

Intermediate (between run) precision was evaluated using 3 levels of glucose control solutions over 10 days with 3 test strip lots. For each level, on each day, 10 meters were used for testing, with 1 replicate collected per meter for a total of 10 replicates per day for each glucose level. Results are summarized below:

## Intermediate precision

| Glucose Level, mg/dL | Strip Lot | n | Average Glucose (mg/dL) | SD, mg/dL | CV, % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Level 1 | 1 | 100 | 41.5 | 2.3 | 5.5 |
| | 2 | 100 | 41.5 | 2.4 | 5.8 |
| | 3 | 100 | 40.4 | 2.4 | 5.8 |
| | 1 | 100 | 118.0 | 3.0 | 2.5 |

{5}

| Glucose Level, mg/dL | Strip Lot | n | Average Glucose (mg/dL) | SD, mg/dL | CV, % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Level 2 | 2 | 100 | 119.6 | 3.1 | 2.6 |
| | 3 | 100 | 118.3 | 3.6 | 3.0 |

| | 3 | 100 | 359.8 | 9.4 | 2.6 |

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

Linearity testing was performed using venous whole blood samples. Samples with the following glucose concentrations were prepared and confirmed by a laboratory reference method (YSI): 8, 25, 50, 80, 110, 170, 220, 330, 450, 550, 650 mg/dL. Each sample was measured in replicates of four using each of three lots of test strips (2 replicates/meter, 2 meters) and the mean was used in the regression analysis. The regression analysis results are summarized in the below table:

| Lot | Slope | y-intercept | R² |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 0.9972 | -0.9718 | 0.9989 |
| 2 | 0.9994 | -1.5257 | 0.9991 |
| 3 | 1.0011 | -0.1571 | 0.9988 |

The results of the study support the sponsor's claimed glucose measuring range of 20 - 600 mg/dL. Data from bench studies and software verification studies were provided to demonstrate that if a sample is less than 20 mg/dL, the result is flagged by the meter as LO. If a sample result exceeds 600 mg/dL, the result is flagged by the meter as HI.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):

Traceability

The system is traceable to NIST SRM #917b reference material. A method comparison was performed using the candidate device and YSI as the reference method. The meter provides plasma-equivalent results.

Test Strip Stability

Accelerated and Real time stability study protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found acceptable to support the 24 month shelf life and 4 month open vial stability for test strips (Canister and Pouch) stored at temperatures of $41^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ to $86^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ ( $5^{\circ}\mathrm{C} - 30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ ) and $10 - 90\%$ RH.

{6}

# d. Detection limit:

The reportable range for the VivaChek™ Ino Blood Glucose Monitoring System is 20 to $600\mathrm{mg / dL}$ supported by the linearity assay study above (M.1.b).

# e. Analytical specificity:

To assess potential interference the sponsor used venous whole blood samples adjusted to 3 glucose concentrations of 50, 100, and $350\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . Each of these samples was divided into a test pool and a control pool, with each of the potential endogenous and exogenous interfering substances added to the test pool. Each substance was tested at a minimum of two concentrations, normal/therapeutic and high/toxic concentrations following EP7-A2 recommendations. The $\%$ difference between the test sample and the control sample was calculated using mean of 10 replicates for each of the 3 strip lots tested. The sponsor defines no significant interference as $\leq \pm 10\%$ difference relative to the control sample.

Results are presented in the table below:

| Substance | Highest Concentration tested with no observed interference |
| --- | --- |
| Acetaminophen | 20 mg/dL |
| Ascorbic acid | 3 mg/dL |
| Dopamine | 0.09 mg/dL |
| L-Dopa (Levo-Dopa) | 3 mg/dL |

P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:

1. Hematocrit Study:

To evaluate the effect of hematocrit on the VivaChek Ino Blood Glucose Monitoring System, venous blood samples with hematocrit levels of 20%, 30%, 42%, 55%, and 70% were tested at 3 glucose concentrations (40, 110, and 350 mg/dL). Each sample was tested in replicates of 10/strip lot, with a total 3 lots of testes strips tested. Results from the meter were compared to results obtained using a laboratory-based reference method (YSI). The evaluation of percent bias relative to YSI demonstrated acceptable performance across the hematocrit range of 20-70%.

2. Altitude study:

To evaluate the effect of altitude on the VivaChek Ino Blood Glucose Monitoring System, meters were tested at 2 altitudes locations sea level and 9777 feet. Fingertip

{12}

capillary blood samples from 15 subjects were tested at each altitude. The evaluation included 2 meters and 3 test strip lots. The glucose range tested was 43 to 482 mg/dl at sea level; 46-470 mg/dl at 9777 feet. Results at each altitude were compared to the comparator method, YSI. Results demonstrated that altitudes up to 9,777 feet above sea level have no significant effect on blood glucose measurements from the candidate device.

3. Sample Volume:
The sponsor performed a study to verify the test strip minimum sample volume requirement and the test strip fill error requirement established for the VivaChek Ino Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Blood samples were tested at 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0μL of venous whole blood samples at glucose concentrations of 50, 100, 280, and 500 mg/dL. Results support the claimed minimum sample volume of 0.8μL. Adequate validation was provided to support the fill error feature that is displayed when too little blood is applied to the test strip.

The device system is 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, Clorox Germicidal Wipes, 0.55% sodium hypochlorite (EPA Registration # 67619-12). Robustness studies were also performed by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance or external materials of the meter after 608 cleanings and disinfection cycles with the Clorox Germicidal Wipes. The robustness studies were designed to simulate 5 years of single-patient use for the meter to be cleaned and disinfected at least once a week. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
