L. Test Principle:

The Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System, Model GM700 uses electrochemical methodologies. The system quantitatively measures blood glucose levels using an amperometric method. The system employs flavin adenine dinucleotide-glucose dehydrogenase (GDH-FAD) enzyme chemistry. 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 performed within-run precision studies using venous whole blood samples spiked with five different glucose concentrations (30 to 50, 51 to 110, 111 to 150, 151 to 250, 251 to 400). Each glucose level was analyzed in replicates of 10, with 3 test strip lots, and 10 meters for a total of 300 tests per each glucose level for each meter. Results are summarized below:

{5}

Within-run precision for glucose:

| Glucose Level (mg/dL) | Number of tests | Mean (mg/dL) | SD (mg/dL) | CV (%) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 30 to 50 | 300 | 42.8 | 1.3 | 2.97 |
| 51 to 110 | 300 | 80.1 | 2.0 | 2.46 |
| 111 to 150 | 300 | 132.6 | 2.6 | 1.93 |
| 151 to 250 | 300 | 196.3 | 3.7 | 1.88 |
| 251 to 400 | 300 | 335.8 | 5.3 | 1.57 |

Between-day precision was evaluated using five levels of glucose control solutions with concentrations (39 to 59, 107 to 145, 201 to 273, 300 to 406, and 418 to 566 mg/dL). Each sample was measured in duplicate with three test strip lots and 10 Rightest GM700 meters. These tests were performed over 20 days, for a total of 400 tests per glucose level. Results are summarized below.

Between-day precision for glucose:

| Glucose Level (mg/dL) | Number of tests | Mean (mg/dL) | SD (mg/dL) | % CV |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 39 to 59 | 300 | 49.3 | 1.5 | 2.97 |
| 107 to 145 | 300 | 127.2 | 2.9 | 2.31 |
| 201 to 273 | 300 | 237.5 | 4.3 | 1.82 |
| 300 to 406 | 300 | 354.5 | 7.0 | 1.97 |
| 418 to 566 | 300 | 496.3 | 8.6 | 1.74 |

## b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

Linearity was evaluated using three test strip lots and 15 mixed pools of venous blood samples ranging in glucose concentrations (as measured by YSI) of 3, 10, 23, 44, 92.0, 148, 190, 252, 292, 356, 391, 447, 526, 571, 620 mg/dL for test strip lots #2 and #3 and 1, 14, 21, 42, 99, 154, 216, 255, 313, 353, 405, 443, 522, 594, 641 mg/dL for test strip lot #1. Each level was measured in triplicate with each of 3 test strip lots and the values from the Rightest GM700 meter were compared with those obtained from YSI-2300. Results from regression analysis:

Test strip lot #1: $y = 0.9882x + 0.5809$ ; $R^2 = 0.9994$

Test strip lot #2: $y = 0.9932x + 0.6005$ ; $R^2 = 0.9986$

Test strip lot #3: $y = 0.9912x + 2.8143$ ; $R^2 = 0.9990$

The results of the study support the sponsor's claimed glucose measurement range of 20-600 mg/dL.

{6}

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

Traceability:
The Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System GM700 is traceable to the NIST SRM 917b reference material. The method comparison study was performed using the candidate device and YSI as the reference method (see Section 2.a.)

Test Strip Stability:
Test strip stability was assessed in accelerated and real time studies. Testing protocols and acceptance criteria for the Rightest Blood Glucose Test Strips GS700 were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The manufacturer claims shelf life stability of 18 months and an open-vial stability of 4 months at the recommended storage temperatures of 39°F-86°F.

Control Solution Value Assignment and Stability:
Value assignment: Five levels of aqueous control solutions (levels 1 to 5) are available for use with the Rightest GM700 test system. Value assignment for use of the control solutions with the Rightest GS700 glucose test strips is based on measurements using the YSI 2300. The values for each of the control solutions are assigned by repeat analysis using Rightest GM700 test strips and ten Rightest GM700 meters. The mean, SD and CV are used to establish the ranges for each control solution which are provided on the test strip vial label.

Stability Testing: Stability was assessed using real-time and accelerated testing for each control solution level. Protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable to support the shelf life stability claim of 16 months and an open-vial stability claim of 3 months when stored at the recommended storage temperatures of 36°F to 86°F.

d. Detection limit:
See linearity study in Section M1b above.

e. Analytical specificity:
Interference studies were performed by spiking venous blood with two levels of glucose concentrations (60 to 100 and 150 to 300 mg/dL). Each of these samples was divided into a test pool and a control pool and each of 18 potential endogenous and exogenous interfering substances was added to the test pool. Each compound was tested at two concentrations, normal/therapeutic and high/toxic concentrations.

Each sample was analyzed 5 times with the Rightest GM700 meter and the % difference between the interferent containing sample and the control sample calculated. The sponsor defines no significant interference as ≤10%

Does the applicant’s device contain the ability to transmit data to a computer, webserver, or mobile device?
Yes ______ or No ☐

Does the applicant’s device transmit data to a computer, webserver, or mobile device using wireless transmission?
Yes ______ or No ☐

2. Software:
FDA has reviewed applicant’s Hazard Analysis and software development processes for this line of product types:
Yes ☐ 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:
The glucose test is intended to be used with capillary whole blood from the finger, palm, and forearm only. The whole blood sample is applied directly to the test strip by capillary action.

5. Calibration:
The meter has a “Smart Auto Code Key” that is installed into the meter and contains the test strip port. The code key identifies the test strip code automatically; therefore, no coding is required by the user. The labeling includes instructions for the user to contact customer service if the Code Error symbol appears on the meter. The code key is replaceable, but only by an authorized Bionime representative.

6. Quality Control:
Five levels of aqueous glucose control solutions are available with this system. Control solution Level 2 is provided with the kit. The meter has a function for the

{11}

user to select the level of control solution they wish to run to prevent control results from being stored in the internal memory as patient results.

Recommendations on when to test the control materials are provided in the labeling. The control solution readings are not included in the average of the patient results when the measurements are performed in the "CS measurement mode". An acceptable range for each control level is printed on the test strip vial label. The user is cautioned not to use the meter if the control result falls outside these ranges.

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

1) Hematocrit Study: The effect of different hematocrit levels on the performance of the Rightest GM700 Blood Glucose Monitoring System was evaluated using venous whole blood samples with hematocrit levels 20, 25, 30, 40, 55, 60 and 65% spiked with glucose to achieve 6 concentrations ranging from 40 to 400 mg/dL (20 to 50, 60 to 80, 135 to 165, 180 to 220, 270 to 330, 360 to 440 mg/dL). Each sample was then tested 9 times using the Rightest GM700 glucose meter and the values were compared with those obtained from YSI-2300 analyzer. The % biases relative to YSI were acceptable within the claimed hematocrit range of 30 to 55%.

2) Altitude study: Venous whole blood samples collected from 5 volunteers and adjusted to obtain 3 glucose concentration ranges (30 to 50, 80 to 120, 240 to 360 mg/dL) were tested at 0, 3280, 6562, and 10,745 feet (0, 1000, 2000, 3275 meters) above sea level. Results were compared to YSI values. The results demonstrate acceptable bias to YSI to support the claims in the labeling that altitudes up to 10,000 feet (3048 meters) have no significant effect on blood glucose measurements from the Rightest GM700 glucose meter.

3) Sample volume study: The sponsor performed a study to verify the test strip sample volume requirement and the test strip fill error requirement established for the Rightest GM700 system. Blood samples were tested at six sample volumes (0.6, 0.65, 0.75, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.25μL) and values obtained were compared to YSI values. Results support the claimed sample volume of 1.0 μL and the error code for insufficient sample volume.

4) Temperature and humidity studies: The sponsor performed temperature and humidity studies using venous blood samples to evaluate temperatures ranging from 6.3°C to 43.6°C and relative humidity from 11% to 92%. Meter results were compared to YSI values. Six temperature and humidity combinations were tested including low temperature/low humidity, low temperature/high humidity, average temperature/low humidity, average temperature/high humidity, high temperature/low humidity, and high temperature/high humidity. No significant effect (relative to YSI) was observed with the temperature and humidity combinations tested. The results support the claims in the labeling that the

12

{12}

system can be used in conditions of 43 to 111°F (6 to 44°C) with relative humidity of 10 to 90%.

5) Infection Control Studies: The device is intended for single-patient use only. Discide Ultra disinfecting towelettes with EPA registration #10492-4 were validated demonstrating complete inactivation of live virus for use with the meter and lancing device. The sponsor also demonstrated that there was no change in performance or in the external materials of the meter and lancing device after 550 cleaning and disinfection cycles (one cycle includes one cleaning wipe plus one disinfecting wipe) to simulate 5 years of meter and lancing device use. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
