## VI Performance Characteristics:
### A. Analytical Performance
#### 1. Basal delivery accuracy
To assess basal delivery accuracy, iLet ACE pumps were tested by delivering at minimum, intermediate, and maximum basal rates (0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 U/hr). A total of 30 devices (15 new and 15 aged) were tested at all basal rates. For both aged and unaged pumps, all cartridges were new. Water was used as a substitute for insulin. Water was pumped into a container on a scale and the weight of the liquid at various time points was used to assess pumping accuracy.
The following tables (1a – 3b) report the typical basal performance (median) observed, along with the lowest and highest results observed for the low, medium, and high basal rates settings for all pumps tested with no warm-up period. For each time period, the tables show the volume of insulin requested in the first row and the volume that was delivered as measured by the scale in the second row.

2. Bolus Delivery Accuracy
To assess bolus delivery accuracy, 15 iLet devices were tested by delivering consecutive minimum, intermediate, and maximum bolus volumes (0.5, 5.0, and 30 units). All devices were new, and 15 additional devices were aged to simulate four years of regular use and tested by delivering consecutive intermediate bolus volumes. For both aged an unaged devices, all devices were tested with a new cartridge. Table 4 shows the number of total and consecutive boluses delivered in this testing for each delivery volume.

Water was used as a substitute for insulin. The water was pumped into a container on a scale, and the weight of the liquid at various time points was used to assess pumping accuracy. Delivered bolus volumes were compared to the requested bolus volume delivery for minimum, intermediate, and maximum bolus volumes. Tables 5 – 7 below show average, minimum, and maximum bolus sizes observed, as well as the number of boluses which were observed to be within the specified range of each target bolus volume.

3. Occlusion Detection
Occlusion detection testing was conducted using 29 pumps for each delivery profile. To test the time between occlusion and pump alarm, pumps were physically occluded by closing the patient end of a connected infusion set after priming and either a 4 U bolus or a 0.1 or 1.0 U/hr basal rate was initiated. For each test, the time between occlusion and pump detection of occlusion was determined. The typical time to occlusion detection in the table below is the average for the samples measured and the maximum time is the absolute maximum. Results are presented in Table 8 below. After pumps alarmed, the occlusions were cleared, and the total amount of fluid delivered was measured. Typical volumes were 4 U.

| | Typical time to occlusion detection | Maximum time to occlusion detection |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 4.0 U Bolus | 11 seconds | 15 seconds |
| 1.0 U/hr Basal | 2 hours 51 minutes | 3 hours 52 minutes |
| 0.1 U/hr Basal | 29 hours 29 minutes | 39 hours 25 minutes |
