M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

1. Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility:

{3}

The repeatability was evaluated with one lot of test strips and ten (10) glucose meters. Venous blood samples at five glucose concentrations were measured 10 times each.

| Blood Concentration | Mean (mg/dL) | SD | CV (%) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 30-50 mg/dL | 44.2 | 1.1 | 2.4 |
| 51-110 mg/dL | 82.8 | 1.9 | 2.3 |
| 111-150 mg/dL | 144.9 | 3.5 | 2.4 |
| 151-250 mg/dL | 225.8 | 5.1 | 2.3 |
| 251-400 mg/dL | 337.2 | 8.3 | 2.5 |

The intermediate precision was evaluated with one lot of test strips and ten (10) glucose meters. Quality control material at three glucose concentrations was measured once a day for ten days.

| Quality Control | Mean (mg/dL) | SD | CV (%) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Low ~40 mg/dL | 41 | 1.7 | 4.1 |
| Mid ~125 mg/dL | 128 | 2.8 | 2.2 |
| High 340 mg/dL | 345 | 8.8 | 2.6 |

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

The linearity was evaluated with three glucose meters using blood samples at seven (7) glucose concentrations. The glucose samples were prepared from venous blood samples containing heparin anticoagulant at approximately $40\%$ hematocrit. The range of glucose concentrations used was 5 to $720~\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and the sponsor performed these studies using a version of the meter with the Hi and Lo glucose concentration flags disabled.

The results of meter readings vs. YSI Plasma Values were compared using linear regression analysis and are summarized in the table below:

{4}

| Meter | Slope | Intercept | R | R2 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 0.982 | 0.127 | 0.9997 | 0.9994 |
| 2 | 0.978 | -0.684 | 0.9997 | 0.9995 |
| 3 | 0.979 | -1.141 | 0.9998 | 0.9996 |

Results equal to or below $20\mathrm{mg / dL}$ are reported as "Lo" and results greater than or equal to $600\mathrm{mg / dL}$ reported as "Hi." The measuring range is from 20 to $600\mathrm{mg / dL}$ .

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

The test system was compared to the YSI. See the method comparison section 2 below.

Stability characteristics of the test strips were determined using real-time unopened and open-vial studies. When stored at the recommended storage temperature of $36^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ to $90^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ the unopened shelf-life is 18 months and once opened, the test strips are stable for up to 3 months.

Stability characteristics of the control solutions were determined using real-time unopened and open-vial studies. The unopened shelf-life is 24 months at the recommended storage of $46^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ to $86^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ . Once opened, the control solutions are stable for 3 months when stored at $46^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ to $86^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$ .

d. Detection limit:

See linearity 1.b. above.

e. Analytical specificity:

Hematocrit:

The effect of different hematocrit levels was evaluated with one test strip lot and five glucose meters and using blood samples at five glucose concentrations (50, 160, 275, 390 and $500\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ). The glucose samples were prepared from venous blood containing heparin anticoagulant at five different hematocrit levels ranging from 15-65%. Glucose results for each concentration and hematocrit level were compared to the same samples tested on the YSI reference method. Additionally, the samples at 15, 20, 60, and $65\%$ hematocrit were compared to samples with $40\%$ hematocrit using the same SD Check Gold meter.

Samples with $20\%$ and $60\%$ hematocrit tested on the SD Check Gold meter were within $+ / 15\%$ of the same sample tested on YSI and the $40\%$ hematocrit sample. The sponsor claims an acceptable hematocrit range of 20 to $60\%$ .

# Endogenous compounds and drugs:

The sponsor evaluated the interference from different concentrations of the substances listed below. Three glucose levels were tested for each interferant, 70 mg/dL, 100 mg/dL and 300 mg/dL. The sponsor defined interference as when the test sample containing interferant does not recover within +/-10% of the control sample without interferant.

Studies demonstrated that all the interfering substances listed below did not significantly interfere with the glucose readings.

| Interferant tested | Concentration |
| --- | --- |
| Acetaminophen | 6 mg/dL |
| Ascorbic acid (Vit. C) | 4 mg/dL |
| Bilirubin | 40 mg/dL |
| Uric acid | 9 mg/dL |
| Triglyceride (T.G) | 1026 mg/dL |
| Total Cholesterol | 506 mg/dL |
| Acetyl-salicylic acid | 120 mg/dL |
| Ibuprofen | 50 mg/dL |
| Fructose | 15 mg/dL |
| Galactose | 60 mg/dL |
| Tetracycline | 5 mg/dL |
| Tolbutamide | 4 mg/dL |
| Dopamine | 5 mg/dL |
| Methyl-dopa | 2 mg/dL |
| Creatinine | 30 mg/dL |
| Urea | 500 mg/dL |
| Tolazamide | 8.4 mg/dL |
| Warfarin | 1 mg/dL |
| Levodopa | 4 mg/dL |
| Sodium fluoride | 200 mg/dL |
| Maltotetraose | 120 mg/dL |
| Mannose | 5 mg/dL |
| Lactose | 25 mg/dL |
| Mannitol | 800 mg/dL |
| Sorbitol | 10 mg/dL |
| Xylitol | 25 mg/dL |
| Maltotriose | 240 mg/dL |

Warfarin at concentrations greater than 1 mg/dL affects the accuracy of the test and a warning appears in the labeling. Additionally, the labeling states that elevated levels ascorbic acid, uric acid, total bilirubin, triglycerides, acetaminophen, dopamine, methyl-dopa and levodopa may affect results.

# Altitude:

An altitude effect study was performed by testing each of six different venous samples with glucose values from 20-621 mg/dL (Hi and Lo settings disabled) at sea level and at elevated altitudes up to 11,351 feet.

At each altitude tested, results using the SD Check Gold meter were compared to results using the YSI glucose analyzer. At altitudes up to 11,351 feet, results with the SD Check Gold meter were within +/-7.5 mg/dL for results <75 mg/dL and within +/-15% for results >75 mg/dL.

Temperature and humidity studies were performed and showed that the meter can be used at temperatures from 10-40°C and at a relative humidity from 15-90%

2. Comparison studies:

a. Method comparison with predicate device:

The system accuracy evaluation for the SD Check Gold Blood Glucose Monitoring System has been performed according to EN ISO 15197:2003.

Trained professionals obtained 90 natural samples from the fingertip of study participants. Ten samples were contrived in order to obtain samples <50 mg/dL and >400 mg/dL. Samples ranged in value from 20-600 mg/dL.

Testing was performed with 2 different meters and 1 lot of test strips over a two month period. For comparison, each sample was also tested using the YSI glucose analyzer. The results are summarized below:

For glucose concentrations ≤ 75 mg/dL

| within ± 5 mg/dL | within ± 10 mg/dL | within ± 15 mg/dL |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 73% (19/26) | 92% (24/26) | 100% (26/26) |

c. Other clinical supportive data (when a. and b. are not applicable):

A user study was performed to demonstrate that lay consumers could obtain accurate results using the SD Check Gold blood glucose monitoring system. The study was performed using capillary whole blood from fingertip, palm, forearm, and upper arm sample sites. A total of 171 individuals were recruited for the study. All were in "steady state." Fingertip sample results ranged in concentration from 72-488 mg/dL.

Using only the labeling intended to be provided with the marketed device and without assistance or coaching, each participant performed their own fingerstick testing on the SD Check Gold BGMS. They were then instructed to perform testing using samples obtained from alternative sites: palm, forearm, and upper arm. Laboratory professionals collected additional capillary blood from each participant for testing on both the SD Check Gold BGMS and the YSI glucose laboratory method.

Of the 171 participants, three individuals were not able to obtain a sample from the upper arm alternative site. One individual was not able to obtain a sample from forearm and upper arm.

The results of the user and alternative site studies are summarized below:
