{2}

RIGHTEST Blood Glucose Monitoring System Max Tel consists of RIGHTEST Blood Glucose Meter Max Tel, Blood Glucose Test Strip Max, RIGHTEST Control Solution GC700 (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 4), RIGHTEST Lancing Device and Sterile Lancets (K221062). The RIGHTEST Blood Glucose Test Strip Max is the same as Test Strip Max cleared in K173638. The test strips, control solutions and Lancing Device can be purchased separately.

## B Principle of Operation:

The RIGHTEST Blood Glucose Monitoring System Max Tel is designed to quantitatively measure the glucose concentration in fresh capillary whole blood. The glucose measurement is achieved by using the amperometric detection method that uses glucose dehydrogenase flavin-adenine dinucleotide (GDH-FAD) based chemistry. When a drop of blood is applied to the test strip it is pulled into the test strip through capillary action. Glucose in the sample reacts with test strip chemistry generating electrons and producing a current that is proportional to the glucose concentration in the sample. After the reaction time, the detected current is calculated by the meter and the resulting glucose concentration is displayed by the meter. The RIGHTEST Blood Glucose Monitoring System Max Tel system reports glucose results as plasma glucose.

comparator method YSI 2300 Analyzer), 3 lots of test strips and 3 meters. Test procedures were performed in 3 replicates per lot per concentration level. Blood glucose concentration values obtained on the RIGHTEST Blood Glucose Monitoring System Max Tel were compared to those obtained using comparator method YSI 2300 analyzer. The results of linear regression analysis are summarized below:

| Test Strip Lot # | Slope | y-intercept | R²-value |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Lot 1 | 1.0193 | -0.145 | 0.9998 |
| Lot 2 | 1.0202 | 0.1988 | 0.9998 |
| Lot 3 | 1.0163 | 0.3926 | 0.9997 |
| Combined | 1.0186 | 0.1488 | 0.9998 |

The results of the study support the sponsor's claimed glucose measurement range from 50 - 550 mg/dL. The meter displays "LO" with glucose values below 50 mg/dL and "HI" with glucose values over 550 mg/dL. The LO and HI functions were validated and were demonstrated to function as intended.

## 3. Analytical Specificity/Interference:

To assess potential interference, studies were performed by spiking 31 exogenous and endogenous substances into venous whole blood with three glucose levels (50-70, 110-130, and 225-270 mg/dL; as measured on the comparator YSI 2300 Analyzer). Each of these samples was divided into a test pool and a control pool, with the potential endogenous and exogenous interfering substances added to the test pool. Each sample was tested in replicates of 10. The difference between the test sample (with interferent) as measured on the meter and the control sample (without interferent) as measured on the meter were calculated. The highest tested concentrations of each substance tested with no significant interference (defined by the sponsor as ≤ 10% between test and control mean) are summarized in the following table:

| Test Substance | Highest Concentration Tested with no Significant Interference |
| --- | --- |
| Acetaminophen | 20 mg/dL |

# F Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data:

1. **Hematocrit Study**
To evaluate the effect of hematocrit on the Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System Max Tel, venous blood samples were adjusted to 12 hematocrit levels of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 42%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65% and 70%. Each hematocrit level was tested at five glucose levels (~40 mg/dL, ~100 mg/dL, ~120 mg/dL, ~200 mg/dL, and ~340 mg/dL). Results from the meter were compared to results obtained using a laboratory-based comparator method (YSI 2300 analyzer). The results support the labeled hematocrit claim of 10-70%.

2. **Altitude Study**
To evaluate the effect of altitude on the Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System Max Tel, meters were tested at 0 ft (m), 3280 ft (1000 m), 6561 ft (2000 m), and 10,745 ft (3275 m) above sea level. Venous blood samples were prepared at three glucose concentration levels (~45 mg/dL, ~130 mg/dL, and ~350 mg/dL) and tested at each altitude. Results were compared to results obtained using a laboratory-based comparator method (YSI 2300 analyzer) and demonstrated that altitudes up to 10,745 ft (3275 m) above sea level have no significant effect on blood glucose measurements.

3. **Sample Volume Study**
To verify the minimum sample volume claim, venous whole blood samples with nine volumes (0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 0.80, 1.00, 1.25, 2.00, and 3.00 μL) were tested using three meters and three test strip lots. Sample concentrations included three glucose levels (61 mg/dL, 106 mg/dL, and 237 mg/dL) and were tested at each volume. Values obtained with the candidate device were compared to values obtained using the comparator method (YSI 2300 analyzer). Results support the claimed minimum sample volume of 0.75 μL. The meter displays and error message when insufficient sample volume is applied to the test strip. The sponsor provided validation studies demonstrating that this error feature functions as intended.

4. **System Operating Conditions Study**
The effect of temperature and humidity operating conditions were evaluated using venous blood samples to evaluate temperatures ranging from 6°C (42.8°F) to 44°C (111.2°F) and relative humidity from 10% to 90%. Six temperature and humidity combinations were tested including low temperature/low humidity, low temperature/high humidity, high temperature/low humidity, and high temperature/high humidity. Values were compared to results from the comparator method (YSI 2300 analyzer). The results support the sponsor's

{11}

claimed operating conditions in the labeling that the system can be used in conditions of 43-111°F (6-44°C) and relative humidity from 10-90%.

5. Flex Studies
The following additional flex studies were performed with the Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System Max Tel: intermittent sampling, sample perturbation, drop and vibration, testing with used test strips and interruption of testing. The testing demonstrated that the device is robust to these conditions.

6. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing
The sponsor provided documentation certifying that acceptable electrical safety and EMC testing was performed and the system was found to be compliant.

7. Infection Control Studies
The Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System Max Tel is intended for single-patient use only. Disinfection efficacy testing on the external surface materials of the meter demonstrated complete inactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with the chosen disinfectant, CaviWipes Disinfecting Towelettes (EPA Registration Number 46781-8). Robustness studies were also performed by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance or in the external materials of the meter after 550 cleaning and disinfection cycles using the CaviWipes Disinfecting Towelettes. The robustness studies were designed to simulate 5 years of single-patient use. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.

8. Test Strip Lot Release Protocol
