## L. Test Principle:

The AP-1000 Blood Glucose Monitoring System uses electrochemical methodologies. The system quantitatively measures blood glucose levels using an amperometric method, which involves detecting the current produced from glucose oxidation. The electrons generated during this reaction are transferred from the blood to the electrodes. The magnitude of the resultant current is proportional to the concentration of glucose in the specimen and the signal is converted into a readout displayed on the meter.

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

### 1. Analytical performance:

#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:

The sponsor evaluated within run and between run precision of the device using a protocol based on CLSI EP5-A. Whole blood samples spiked with six different glucose concentrations were used. Ten replicate measurements were tested for each concentration each day, using two lots of test strips and ten meters for a total of twenty days. Results for each test strip lot are summarized in the tables below:

Lot 1

| Mean (mg/dL) | Within run SD (mg/dL) | Between run SD (mg/dL) | Coefficient of variation (CV %) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 31.1 | 3.9 | 3.4 | 16.2 |
| 49.9 | 1.5 | 3.8 | 11.9 |
| 74.4 | 3.0 | 3.2 | 6.0 |
| 121 | 3.0 | 3.1 | 4.5 |
| 218 | 5.6 | 4.2 | 3.2 |
| 332 | 11.4 | 5.5 | 3.7 |

{4}

Lot 2

| Mean (mg/dL) | Within run SD (mg/dL) | Between run SD (mg/dL) | Coefficient of variation (CV %) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 30.4 | 3.9 | 2.8 | 16.2 |
| 49.9 | 1.5 | 3.9 | 12.3 |

| 219 | 5.8 | 3.0 | 3.0 |
| 330 | 10.4 | 6.2 | 3.6 |

In addition, the sponsor evaluated five replicates of two levels of control solutions with two test strip lots and twenty meters. Results are summarized in the following tables:

Lot 1

| Level | Mean (mg/dL) | SD (mg/dL) | Coefficient of variation (CV %) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 101.2 | 4.0 | 3.9 |
| 2 | 221.3 | 6.6 | 3.0 |

Lot 2

| Level | Mean (mg/dL) | SD (mg/dL) | Coefficient of variation (CV %) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 106.2 | 3.6 | 3.4 |
| 2 | 231.8 | 6.9 | 3.0 |

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

The sponsor evaluated linearity of the device using a protocol based on CLSI EP6-A. Testing was performed using oxygenated venous blood samples at eleven different blood glucose levels, ranging from 20 to 726 mg/dL, tested on two lots of test strips, on ten meters in replicates of ten. The YSI 2300D STAT plus glucose analyzer was used as the reference method. The measuring range of the device is 20 to 600 mg/dL.

Linear Regression Analysis:

Lot 1: $y = 1.0375x + 3.8754, r^2 = 0.9991.$

Lot 2: $y = 1.0563x + 0.8588, r^2 = 0.9986.$

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

The values for the MAJOR Control Solutions are assigned by repeat analysis using three different lots of AP-1000 test strips and five AP-1000 meters. The mean and standard deviation are used to establish the acceptable range for the strips.

{5}

Stability characteristics of the Major Glucose Control Solutions were determined using real-time studies. The unopened shelf-life is 24 months and the open vial stability is 90 days at the recommended storage of 36 °F to 86 °F.

Stability characteristics of the AP-1000 blood glucose test strips were determined using real-time studies. The unopened shelf-life is 18 months and the open vial stability is 90 days at the recommended storage of 36 °F to 86 °F.

d. Detection limit:

The measuring range of the system is 20 - 600 mg/dL. This range was verified by the linearity study (see section M.1.b.).

e. Analytical specificity:

Interference testing was performed using a protocol based on CLSI EP7-A. A blood sample was collected from a volunteer. Hematocrit was adjusted to 40 ± 2 %, and the sample was separated into two aliquots. The glucose levels were adjusted to a low (100 to 150 mg/dL) and a high (200 to 250 mg/dL) level by supplementing each sample with a 50% aqueous glucose solution. The YSI 2300D STAT plus glucose analyzer was used as a reference instrument. The following substances were evaluated, Ascorbic acid (1.2, 1.5, 2 and 3 mg/dL), Acetaminophen (2, 6, 15 and 20 mg/dL), Dopamine (3.2, 6.5, 9.7 and 13 mg/dL), Ibuprofen (4.2, 15, 30 and 40 mg/dL), L-Dopa (5 and 10 mg/dL), Tetracycline (0.4, 1.5, 3 and 4 mg/dL), Tolbutamide (10, 35, 70 and 100 mg/dL), Cholesterol (300, 350, 400 and 500 mg/dL), Creatinine (1.5, 15, 22.5 and 30 mg/dL) and Uric acid (7, 12, 16 and 20 mg/dL). Each potential interfering substance was added to an aliquot of the low glucose blood sample and to an aliquot of the high glucose to the final concentrations listed above and compared to the same sample without the potential interfering substance (control). The results are as follows:

Lot 1

| Exogenous Substance | | | Concentration at which drug interference was observed | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Therapeutic levels (mg/dL) | | Maximum Test Concentration (mg/dL) | At low glucose level | At high glucose level |

| Creatinine | 1.5 | 30 | none | |
| Uric acid | 7 | 20 | 7 | 7 |

Ibuprofen, Tetracycline, Tolbutamide, Cholesterol and Creatinine did not significantly interfere with the measurements (bias less than $\pm 10\%$).

Acetaminophen (2 mg/dL), Ascorbic Acid (2 mg/dL at low glucose levels and 30 mg/dL at high glucose levels), Dopamine (3.2 mg/dL at low glucose levels and 9.7 mg/dL at high glucose levels), L-dopa (5 mg/dL) and Uric acid (7 mg/dL) significantly interfered with the measurements (bias more than $10\%$).

The sponsor included the following warnings in the label:

- Therapeutic levels of acetaminophen, normal to high levels of uric acid and high levels of ascorbic acid/ vitamin C in blood may result in inaccurate glucose readings. Blood glucose readings from these cases should be interpreted with caution.
- Therapeutic levels of L-dopa or dopamine may result in inaccurate glucose readings with the system.

Hematocrit Study: the effect of hematocrit was evaluated in a study using a venous blood sample with five glucose concentrations (20, 70, 170, 285 and 600 mg/dL) and hematocrit levels adjusted to 25, 30, 40, 50, 55, 60 and 70 %. The YSI 2300D STAT plus glucose analyzer was used to check the glucose concentrations of the blood samples. Each glucose level/hematocrit combination was tested on ten meters per lot of strips (two lots of strips). The results of samples at each of the varying hematocrit levels were compared to the YSI value of the samples. The average of the measurements had a deviation less than 15% at ≥ 75 mg/dL (individual bias ranging from 0 to 17.6 %) and less than 10 mg/dL at < 75 mg/dL (individual bias ranging from 0 to 6 mg/dL) at 30 to 55% hematocrit.

The sponsor included the following warning in the label:

- Abnormal blood cell counts (hematocrit levels below 30 % and above 55 %) may cause inaccurate test results.

Altitude Study: the effect of altitude was evaluated using five venous blood samples with five glucose concentrations (56, 72, 123, 253 and 462 mg/dL) with hematocrit levels between 30 and 55 %. The YSI 2300D STAT plus glucose analyzer was used to check the glucose concentrations of the blood samples. The results of this study are acceptable: all measurements must have a deviation less than 20% at ≥ 75 mg/dL and less than 15 mg/dL at < 75 mg/dL.

The sponsor included the following statement in the label:

- Clinical testing demonstrates that altitudes up to 10,183 feet (3104 meters) above sea level do not affect results with the AP-1000 Blood Glucose Monitoring System.

Temperature and humidity studies: studies were performed to demonstrate that the meter can be used at temperatures from 10 to 40 °C and at relative humidity ranging from 20 to 80 %. A venous blood sample with three glucose concentrations (approximately 50, 100 and 250 mg/dL) was used for the studies. The YSI 2300D STAT plus glucose analyzer was used to check the glucose concentrations of the blood samples. Five meters and one lot of strips were used for each study. The results were reviewed and found to be acceptable.
