L. Test Principle:

The test is based on electrochemical biosensor technology and the principle of capillary action. The glucose oxidase and potassium ferricyanide 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:

Repeatability and between-run precision studies were performed using CLSI EP5-A: Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods; Approved Guideline – Second Edition.

The repeatability study was performed with venous whole blood samples at five glucose concentrations using three strip lots and ten meters. There were a total of twenty measurements per strip lot per glucose level per meter. These tests were performed in one day. Results are summarized below.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

Linearity was evaluated using two test strip lots and nine pools of venous blood samples with concentrations spanning the claimed measuring range (21, 51, 80, 149, 250, 349, 402, 497, and 604 mg/dL as measured by the reference method). Each level

{5}

was measured 10 times per test strip lot and the values from the OK Biotech BGMS were compared with those obtained from YSI-2300. The results from linear regression analysis are summarized below:

Test strip Lot 1:
y = 0.98x + 1.33; r = 0.9996

Test strip Lot 2:
y = 0.98x + 0.88; r = 0.9996

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

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

Traceability:
According to the sponsor, the OKmeter Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) is traceable to the YSI 2747 Glucose Standard (NIST SRM #917c Clinical Dextrose). A method comparison was performed using the candidate device and a glucose oxidase method (YSI 2300) as the reference method (see Section M.2.a.)

Test Strip Stability

Closed vial (shelf life)
Test strip shelf life stability was assessed in real time studies. Testing protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The manufacturer claims shelf life stability of 24 months at the recommended storage temperatures of 4 – 40°C and 10-85% relative humidity.

Opened vial (in-use)
Test strip opened vial stability was assessed in real time studies. Testing protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The manufacturer claims an opened vial stability of six months at the recommended storage temperatures of 4 – 40°C and 10-85% relative humidity.

Two control solutions (Level 1 and Level 2) are available for use with the Okmeter Direct Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Value assignment and stability for the control solutions were evaluated in k090609. The shelf life and opened vial stability established in k090609 at 10–40°C were 18 months and 90 days, respectively.

d. Detection limit:
The measuring range of the device is 20 - 600 mg/dL. This range was validated by the linearity study (M.1.b).

e. Analytical specificity:
The sponsor tested substances for interference using three lots of test strips, five meters, and three glucose concentrations in the ranges of 50 – 100, 200 – 275, and 400 – 500 mg/dL.

{6}

Venous whole blood samples were spiked to toxic levels or ten times the highest recommended therapeutic or physiological level. Each test sample was then tested five times per strip lot for a total of 15 measurements per sample per interferent. The sponsor defined no significant interference as $\leq \pm 10\%$. According to this criterion no significant interference was seen at the following concentrations:

| Interferent | Level Tested |
| --- | --- |
| Acetaminophen | 15 mg/dL |
| Ascorbic Acid | 5 mg/dL |
| Aspirin | 60 mg/dL |
| Bilirubin | 90 mg/dL |
| Cholesterol | 500 mg/dL |
| Creatinine | 5 mg/dL |
| Dopamine | 2 mg/dL |
| Galactose | 900 mg/dL |
| Gentisic Acid | 5 mg/dL |
| Hydroxyurea | 3 mg/dL |
| L-dopa | 10 mg/dL |
| Maltose | 900 mg/dL |
| Methyldopa | 3 mg/dL |
| Tolbutamide | 400 mg/dL |
| Triglyceride | 2000 mg/dL |
| Uric acid | 8 mg/dL |

However, the sponsor stated in the labeling that elevated concentrations of reducing substances occurring in the blood naturally (uric acid) or from therapeutic treatments (ascorbic acid, acetaminophen) may affect test results.

# Fingerstick and Alternate Site Testing Comparison Studies:

To assess the performance of the OKmeter Direct Blood Glucose Monitoring System in the intended use population the sponsor performed a study with 135 lay user participants who did not have any experience using an OKmeter Direct Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Training in this study consisted only of the participants reading the OKmeter Direct user guide written in English. For each sampling site, the participants collected and analyzed their own sample using the OKmeter Direct system. Performance was evaluated by comparing blood glucose results from the candidate BGMS obtained by the lay user against the reference value (YSI). The glucose concentration of the samples ranged from 57.8 to $391\mathrm{mg / dL}$ as measured by the reference method. The results are summarized in the tables below for three strip lots combined:

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

# 1. Hematocrit Study

The effect of hematocrit levels was evaluated using venous whole blood samples with hematocrit levels of $15 - 65\%$ (15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 and $65\%$ ) spiked with glucose to achieve target concentrations of 80, 125, and $320~\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . Twenty measurements were obtained for each combination of glucose target concentration and hematocrit and compared to the value obtained from the YSI. The results demonstrated that the OKmeter Direct Blood Glucose Monitoring System produces accurate results over the claimed hematocrit range of $20 - 60\%$ .

# 2. Sample Volume Study

The recommended minimum sample volume for the OKmeter Direct Blood Glucose Monitoring System is $0.7\mu \mathrm{l}$ . The sponsor performed a study to determine the effect of sample volumes from 0.5 to $1.5\mu \mathrm{l}$ in comparison to YSI. The study supports the sponsor's claimed minimum sample volume of $0.7\mu \mathrm{l}$ .

# 3. Altitude Study

An altitude study was performed in venous whole blood using three meters and three lots of test strips at five glucose levels in the ranges of 30 - 50, 51 - 110, 111 - 150, 151 - 250, and 251 - 400 mg/dL. The meter results were compared to the reference YSI at various altitudes up to 10335 feet (3150 meters). The study supports the sponsor's claimed maximum altitude of 10335 feet.

Three glucose concentrations (ranges 38 – 68, 132 – 188, and 280 – 420 mg/dL) were tested in venous whole blood at each combination of temperature and humidity above using three lots of strips. The study results support the claimed operating conditions of 10 – 40° C and 10 – 85% relative humidity.

5. Infection Control

The OKmeter Direct Blood Glucose Meter is intended for single-patient use only. Virucide efficacy testing was performed by an outside commercial testing service using Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) demonstrating disinfection efficacy with DISPATCH Hospital Cleaner Disinfectant Towels with Bleach (EPA Reg No.56392-8) on the materials comprising the meter. The sponsor also conducted robustness studies and demonstrated that there was no change in the performance or the external materials for the meter after 520 cleaning and disinfection cycles to simulate 5 years of single-patient use by lay-users. Each robustness cycle consisted of one pre-clean wipe and one disinfecting wipe. Labeling was reviewed for adequate instructions for the validated cleaning and disinfection procedures.

6. Electromagnetic Compatibility

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing was performed on OKmeter Direct, Blood Glucose Meter. A signed technical compliance statement was provided to demonstrate that the EMC testing was performed according to the standards listed in the test report. The test report indicates that the OKmeter Direct Blood Glucose Meter is compliant with the requirements of the listed standards.

7. Readability Assessment

The strip labeling and User's Manual returned a Flesch-Kincaid reading level of 7.8 and 7.5 respectively.
