Device Story
System measures glucose concentration in capillary whole blood; utilizes amperometric assay with glucose oxidase and potassium ferricyanide. User inserts Smart Code Key (batch-specific calibration) and test strip into meter; applies blood drop to strip via capillary action. Meter measures electrical current proportional to glucose; converts to concentration; displays result; stores in memory. Used by patients at home or professionals in clinical settings. Check key enables control mode for quality assurance using control solutions. Provides quantitative glucose readings to aid diabetes management.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evidence includes a consumer study (n=128) and a point-of-care study (n=309). Consumer study showed linear regression between lay users and technicians (R=0.9959, slope=1.0066). Point-of-care study compared device to YSI 2300D analyzer across capillary whole blood, venous whole blood, and venous plasma. Results showed high correlation (R=0.9886 for capillary, R=0.9873 for venous whole blood, R=0.9980 for venous plasma).

Bionime Corporation Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System
I. Device Description:
This device consists of the glucose meter itself, a Smart Code Key, test strips, control solutions, a check key, lancets, and labeling. To operate the meter, the user inserts a Smart Code Key that is included with each bottle of test strips. A numerical code appears on the display when the key is inserted. Once the user confirms that the numerical code on the display, the key, and the bottle of strips all match, they can insert a strip into the Smart Code Key and proceed with testing. The sponsor has provided instructions and illustrations explaining that the blood drop will be pulled into the strip sample entry by capillary action and that the view window must be completely filled with blood to get an accurate result. Results are stored in the meter's memory for future use.
The check key is used for testing the quality control solutions. The check key is inserted into the Smart Code Key to put the meter in "control" mode. Once the meter is in control mode, the user removes the check key, inserts a test strip, and proceeds to test a control solution as they would a blood sample. Control results are not stored in the meter's memory.
The lance supplied with this device was previously cleared under k833344. The two control solutions supplied with this device were previously cleared under k012430.

L. Test Principle:
The glucose oxidase and potassium ferrocyanide in the strip react with the glucose in the sample to produce an electrical current which is proportional to the amount of glucose in the sample. The meter measures the current and converts it to the corresponding glucose concentration.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The sponsor evaluated the precision of the device using replicate measurements of glucose control solutions and anticoagulated venous whole blood.
The glucose control solutions 1 - 5 had concentrations of approximately 82, 103, 156, 227, and 395 mg/dL. The protocol used two lots of test strips, five Bionime glucose meters, and one operator. Each solution was analyzed in duplicate over 20 consecutive days and for two lots of test strips, for a total of 80 measurements per meter per level. The results for the control solutions were as follows:

The venous whole blood samples had concentrations of approximately 100, 200, and 353 mg/dL. The protocol used two lots of test strips, five Bionime glucose meters, and one operator. Each solution was analyzed five times over six hours using two lots of test strips, for a total of 10 measurements per meter per level. The results for the venous whole blood samples were as follows:
| WB - Normal | Meter #1 | Meter #2 | Meter #3 | Meter #4 | Meter #5 |

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
The linearity of the device was demonstrated by comparing eleven prepared whole blood samples on the Rightest and a glucose reference method. The eleven equally spaced samples ranged in concentration from a low of approximately 50 mg/dL to a high of approximately 550 mg/dL. Linear regression of the comparison data yielded the following relationship:
$$
\text{Rightest} = (1.02 \times \text{Reference Method}) - 15 \, \text{mg/dL}
$$
$$
r^2 = 0.9957
$$
The reportable range of the Rightest meter is 20 - 600 mg/dL
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods): The controls supplied with this device were previously cleared under k012431. The sponsor has shown traceability of the Rightest meter to a
{6}
laboratory analyzer.
d. Detection limit:
20 mg/dL
e. Analytical specificity:
The specificity of the device was assessed by preparing five venous whole blood samples ranging in concentration from approximately 50 - 300 mg/dL. The five samples were divided into aliquots and spiked with twenty potential interferents, including endogenous and exogenous substances, anticoagulants, and preservatives. This was designated the test sample. A control sample was also prepared, which consisted of the venous whole blood sample and the solvent for the interferent, but not the interferent itself. The difference between the control sample and the test sample was considered to be due to the interferent, as summarized in the table below:

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
The sponsor did two method comparison studies. The first was done in a point of care (POC) setting to demonstrate the accuracy of the device when used by POC personnel. The second study enrolled consumers to determine if they could perform the test accurately using only the labeling provided with the product.
Point of Care Study. This study included paired whole blood and plasma samples from 309 individuals and included glucose concentrations from 68 - 565 mg/dL. The whole blood samples were analyzed on the Rightest meter by POC personnel and the plasma samples were analyzed on a laboratory instrument. Linear regression of the data yielded the following equation:
$$
\text{Rightest} = (1.00 \times \text{Laboratory Method}) + 5\ \mathrm{mg/dL}
$$
$$
r^2 = 0.9773
$$
Consumer Study. This study included paired whole blood and plasma samples from 128 consumers as they presented themselves at a physician's office or an outpatient clinic. The consumers collected and analyzed their own capillary blood sample and the plasma samples were analyzed on a laboratory instrument. Linear regression of the data yielded the following equation:
$$
\text{Rightest} = (1.00 \times \text{Laboratory Method}) + 5\ \mathrm{mg/dL}
$$
$$
r^2 = 0.9851
$$

## N. Instrument Name:
Bionime Corporation Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System
## O. System Descriptions:
1. **Modes of Operation:**
Each test strip is single use and must be replaced with a new strip for additional readings.
2. **Software:**
FDA has reviewed applicant’s Hazard Analysis and software development processes for this line of product types:
Yes ☐ X or No ☐
3. **Specimen Identification:**
There is no sample identification function with this device. Samples are applied directly to the test strip as they are collected.
4. **Specimen Sampling and Handling:**
This device is intended to be used with capillary whole blood from the finger only. Since the whole blood sample is applied directly to the test strip there are no special handling or storage issues.
5. **Calibration:**
{9}
A Smart Code Key is provided with each batch of test strips to calibrate the meter for that batch. No further calibrations are required of the user.
6. Quality Control:
The sponsor is providing a high and low glucose control solution with this device. When the Check Key is inserted into the meter, the control mode is activated. This prevents control results from being stored in the internal memory. An acceptable range for each control level is printed on the test strip vial label. The user is referred to the troubleshooting section of the User's Manual if control results fall outside these ranges.
P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In the "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
Q. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.
R. Conclusion:
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.
