Indications for Use
The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips or palm. The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared. The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System should not be used for the diagnosis of or screening of diabetes or for neonatal use. Alternative site testing should be done only during steady-state times (when glucose is not changing rapidly). The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Test Strips are for use with the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Meter to quantitatively measure glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips or palm.
Device Story
System measures glucose in capillary whole blood via electrochemical detection. Uses disposable test strips containing modified enzyme Mut. Q-GDH; enzyme oxidizes glucose, reducing coenzyme, which then reduces mediator to produce colorimetric change (heteropolyblue). Meter processes signal to provide quantitative glucose concentration. Designed for home use by patients with diabetes; single-user device. Output displayed on meter screen; aids patients in monitoring diabetes control effectiveness. Benefits include rapid, reliable glucose monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated via user studies with 204 lay users (fingertip) and 154 subjects (palm). Accuracy compared to hexokinase reference method. For fingertip testing, 100% of results were within ±20% of reference for glucose ≥75 mg/dL and 100% within ±15 mg/dL for <75 mg/dL. Regression analysis showed r=0.991. Bench testing confirmed precision (CV <7.5%), linearity (20-580 mg/dL), and stability. Interference testing addressed common substances; limitations noted for galactose and ascorbic acid.
Technological Characteristics
Electrochemical glucose test system. Uses disposable test strips with modified enzyme Mut. Q-GDH (molecularly cloned). Principle: enzymatic oxidation of glucose with coenzyme reduction, followed by mediator reduction and colorimetric indicator change. Intended for in vitro diagnostic use.
Indications for Use

# Intermediate Precision (Day-to-Day)
Intermediate precision was evaluated using three lots of test strips and ten meters. Glucose control solutions in 3 concentration ranges were used. For each test strip lot, each control solution was measured once per day on 10 meters on 10 days, so that 100 individual measurements were generated. Results are summarized below.
| Control Level (mg/dL) | 1 | | | 2 | | | 3 | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity was evaluated using 11 venous blood samples ranging in glucose concentrations from 22.0 to $581.3\mathrm{mg / dL}$ (22.0, 35.5, 61.5, 93.0, 161.1, 232.3, 299.3,
{5}
373.2, 442.1, 509.5, and 581.3 mg/dL) as measured by the reference method. Each sample was tested once on five different meters for each of three strip lots. The values from the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus meter were compared with those obtained from the reference method. The results from regression analysis are summarized below:
Lot #1: y = 0.98x - 0.89; r² = 1.00
Lot #2: y = 0.97x + 0.99; r² = 1.00
Lot #3: y = 0.97x + 0.52; r² = 1.00
The results of the study support the sponsor's claimed glucose measurement range of 20 to 580 mg/dL glucose.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System is calibrated to a hexokinase method on a laboratory analyzer. A method comparison was performed using this method as the comparative method. See Comparison studies in 2a below.
The controls recommended for the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System were previously cleared under k031755.
Value Assignment and Stability Testing: Two ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Clear Control solutions are available for use with the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Value assignment and stability for the control solutions were evaluated in k031755. The shelf life and opened vial stability established in k031755 were 18 months and 3 months, respectively.
The sponsor provided a real-time protocol with acceptance criteria to verify the closed-drum stability (shelf life) and on-board or opened-drum stability of the test strips. The stability protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The sponsor claims a closed-drum (shelf life) of 18 months and an onboard or opened-drum stability of 90 days when stored at 36-86° F (2-30° C). The labeling instructs the users not to freeze the test strips.
d. Detection limit:
The reportable range for the system is 20 - 580 mg/dL. This range was verified by the linearity study (M.1.b) above.
e. Analytical specificity:

System Accuracy:
To assess system accuracy, results from the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System were compared to a reference method, PCA-HK (Hitachi 917). Capillary samples from 100 participants with glucose concentrations ranging from 36-473 mg/dL glucose (obtained using PCA-HK) were analyzed. To obtain blood glucose concentrations <50 mg/dL and >400 mg/dL, samples were allowed to glycolize or were spiked to achieve the desired glucose concentration. Five samples <50 mg/dL and five samples >400 mg/dL were analyzed. The results relative to reference are summarized in the tables below:

Controls are not included in the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System starter kit, but the starter kit box labeling explains how users can obtain two levels of controls. The labeling also provides recommendations on when to test control materials. The meter cannot distinguish between blood samples and controls but control results can be stored in memory. An acceptable range for each control level is printed on the test strip vial label. If the control values fall outside these ranges, the user is referred to a troubleshooting chart which includes information on how to contact the Customer Care Service Center.
P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. Hematocrit study
In this study, three strip lots were tested singly on ten meters at the following hematocrit levels: 30, 35, 40, 45, and 55%. The glucose levels in venous blood samples fell into six categories: 20 - 30, 50 - 70, 100 - 150, 300 - 400, and 500 - 600 mg/dL. A single replicate was obtained for each combination of test strip, glucose level, and hematocrit. This resulted in n = 750 data points (5 glucose levels x 5 hematocrit levels x 10 replicates per sample x 3 strip lots). Glucose concentrations were verified by the sponsor's reference method. The bias relative to the reference method was acceptable to support the claim that hematocrit levels of 30 to 55% do not significantly affect the glucose results.
2. Sample Volume Study
The sponsor performed a sample volume study to support the claimed minimum sample volume requirement for the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus system (1.5 μL) using blood samples at three glucose concentration ranges (30 - 60, 80 - 120, and 400 - 580 mg/dL). The system displays an error code when insufficient sample is detected. Results support the claimed sample volume of 1.5 μL.

3. Altitude Study
In this study, three test strip lots were tested on ten meters with blood samples adjusted to three glucose concentrations: 30 - 60, 80 - 120, and 400 - 580 mg/dL. The samples were tested at three altitude levels: sea level, 8202 feet (2500 meters), and at 13,123 feet (4000 meters). In each concentration range, a total of 50 measurements were performed on 10 meters at each test altitude with each of the 3 test strip lots. Glucose concentrations were verified by the sponsor’s reference method. The bias relative to the reference method was acceptable to support the claim that altitudes up to 13, 123 feet do not significantly affect the glucose results.
4. Temperature and Humidity Studies
In this study, three test strip lots were tested on five meters at three glucose concentrations at seven combinations of temperature and humidity. The temperatures tested were 53.6, 57, 86, and 104° F (12, 14, 30, and 40° C). The relative humidity levels tested were 10, 45, and 80%. Glucose concentrations were verified by the sponsor’s reference method. The bias relative to the reference method was acceptable to support the claim that temperatures from 53.6 - 104° F (12 - 40° C) and relative humidities from 10 - 80% do not significantly affect the glucose results.
5. Infection Control studies
The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for single-patient use only. Disinfection efficacy studies were performed on the materials comprising the meter by an outside commercial testing lab demonstrating complete inactivation of hepatitis B Virus (HBV) with the chosen disinfectant, Super Sani-Cloth Germicidal Disposable Wipes (EPA Reg. No. 9480-4). Robustness studies were also performed by the sponsor demonstrating that there was no change in performance or external materials of the meter after 260 cleaning and disinfection cycles, using Super Sani-Cloth Germicidal Disposable Wipes, to simulate 5 years of use by lay users. Labeling has been reviewed for adequate instructions in validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.
6. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing.
