Device Description

The EosHealth, Inc. In Touch® BGMS, is an Over-The-Counter (OTC) system designed for the self-monitoring of blood glucose by persons with diabetes in home settings to aid in their diabetes management. The system consists of the following components:

  • In Touch® Blood Glucose Meter (In Touch® meter)
  • In Touch® Blood Glucose Test Strips ●
  • In Touch® Lancing Device ●
  • In Touch® Lancets ●
  • In Touch® Level 1 Control Solution
  • In Touch® Level 2 Control Solution
  • AC Adapter (wall charger) and USB Charger
  • Carrying Case
  • . In Touch® Data Management System (optional accessory to the In Touch® BGMS)

The In Touch® meter is an Over-The-Counter (OTC), handheld device that along with the primary components of the system, monitors glucose in the blood to help with the management and treatment of diabetes. The In Touch® meter also incorporates additional features to aid in self-monitoring of blood glucose including tables and logs, graphs, and a pedometer.

The test principle is based on electrochemical biosensor technology and the principle of capillary action. The electrical current generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the strip is measured by the meter and is displayed as the corresponding blood glucose level. The strength of the current produced by the reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample. These blood glucose measurements are obtained through the use of disposable test strips.

These blood glucose levels are displayed on the screen and stored in In Touch® meter's memory. In addition to the immediate read-out on In Touch® meter's display, the readings can also be transmitted securely over the GSM cellular network to a secure server. The use on the GMS connection also provides the ability for direct feedback from the server to the In Touch® meter.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the In Touch Blood Glucose Monitoring System, based on the provided document:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (ISO 15197:2003 and FDA Standards)Reported Device Performance
For Glucose Concentration ≥75 mg/dL:
Within ± 15%99.7%
Within ± 20%100.0%
For Glucose Concentration <75 mg/dL:
Within ± 10 mg/dL100.0%
Within ± 15 mg/dL100.0%

Note: The document provides additional granular data for "Within ± 5%" and "Within ± 5 mg/dL" which are also met but ±15% and ±10mg/dL are the primary acceptance criteria for regulatory clearance.

Study Details

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Test Set Sample Size:
    • For Glucose Concentration ≥75 mg/dL: 93 capillary whole blood samples from fingertip.
    • For Glucose Concentration <75 mg/dL: 9 capillary whole blood samples from fingertip.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin. It indicates it was a "lay user accuracy and performance" study, suggesting participants were likely "lay consumers" relevant to the target market (implied US, given FDA submission). The study appears to be prospective as it was conducted "as part of demonstrating safety and effectiveness" for this specific device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • The ground truth was established using a YSI reference standard (YSI STAT standard reference) and/or mass spectrometry reference standard. These are laboratory-grade instruments, not human experts. The document does not mention human experts establishing ground truth for the quantitative glucose measurements.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Since the ground truth was established by laboratory reference methods (YSI/mass spectrometry) and not by human experts making subjective diagnoses, there was no adjudication method between experts. The device readings were compared directly to the objective reference standard.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a blood glucose monitoring system, which directly measures glucose levels. It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically involve human readers interpreting images or data with and without AI assistance.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Yes, a standalone performance accuracy study was done. The "Accuracy Evaluation (non-user)" section describes a study where the In Touch® meter was evaluated for accuracy using YSI as the reference standard. This would indicate the algorithm's performance without the variability introduced by a lay user. The results state: "The In Touch® meter was 100% accurate within ±15 mg/dL at blood glucose concentrations <75 mg/dL and 100% within ± 15 mg/ml and blood glucose concentrations ≥75 mg/dL 99.7% within ±15 mg/dL meeting accuracy acceptance criteria."

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

  • The ground truth used was objective laboratory reference standards, specifically the YSI reference standard and/or mass spectrometry reference standard.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the training set. The studies described are for "Non-Clinical Performance Characteristics" and "Clinical Performance Characteristics" to demonstrate verification, validation, and accuracy against established standards. These studies are typically for testing and validating the finished device, not for training a machine learning model. Blood glucose meters based on electrochemical enzymatic assays typically use calibrated chemical reactions and algorithms rather than large-scale machine learning training sets in the same way an AI imaging tool might.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • As there's no explicit mention of a training set in the context of a machine learning model, the concept of establishing ground truth for a training set in this manner is not directly applicable. The In Touch® Blood Glucose Monitoring System is based on established electrochemical biosensor technology and algorithms, not a machine learning approach that would require a distinct "training set" to learn from data. The device's 'training' or calibration would be through rigorous chemical and engineering principles rather than a data-driven ground truth process.

Table 1: Comparison of In Touch® Characteristics with Predicate Device

{7}------------------------------------------------

{8}------------------------------------------------

The In Touch® Blood Glucose Monitoring System's Indications for Use statement is similar to the predicate device with minor variation. The device also has similar technological characteristics as the predicate device with minor variation. Both devices have similar firmware and utilize the same blood glucose test strips, lancing devices, lancets, and control solution. The data collection software functionality, communication method with data

{9}------------------------------------------------

management software functionality, communication method with the central server, implementation method of collecting data from the test strips, monitor software, connectivity, and communication are similar to the predicate device with minor variation. The subject and predicate devices use exactly the same firmware embedded in the same microcontroller that recognizes the same blood glucose strip, and no other, the same algorithm to calculate blood glucose, and all corrections including those for hematocrit.

Although the In Touch® device differs with a more vibrant and easier to use user interface, uses plain language rather than "device" codes, easy to find control buttons, icons, and a 16-bit color touch display, it is very similar in all other electronic, and technological characteristics related to blood glucose measurements of the predicate devices to assure equivalence. Performance data are provided to support this. The results of all non-clinical and clinical performance testing demonstrate substantial equivalence.

10. Non-Clinical Performance Characteristics

  • Cleaning and Disinfection testing (FDA Guidance, 1/2014)
  • Precision Evaluation (ISO 15197)
  • Linearity Evaluation (ISO 15197)
  • Accuracy Evaluation (non-user) (ISO 15197)
  • Hematocrit Evaluation (ISO 15197)
  • Interference Study (CLSI EP7-A2)
  • Operating Temperature and Humidity Study (ISO 15197)
  • Robustness Evaluation (FDA Guidance, 1.2014)
  • FLEX Studies: Vibration and Drop Testing (FDA Guidance, 1/2014) ●
  • Human Factors Studies (FDA Guidance, 6/2011)
  • Transport Packaging (ISTA Standard 2A)

Testing demonstrated the In Touch® Blood Glucose Monitoring System meets all relevant standards requirements. Internal verification and validation testing confirms that the product specifications are met which are equivalent in design and technological characteristics to the predicate device. The testing results support that the disinfection, electrical safety testing, and functional testing of the monitor all met or exceeded the standards for the acceptance of the device. Testing of the In Touch® Blood Glucose Monitoring System supports the claims of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Evaluation of the performance characteristics establishes that the performance, functionality and reliability of the In Touch® Blood Glucose Monitoring System are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

The subject device within-run and between-run tests over the blood glucose concentration range of 20-600 mg/dL and Control Levels 1 and 2 showed less than 1.5% coefficient of variation within runs and between runs compared to the mass spectrometry and/or YSI reference standards over the course of ten days and less than 1.5% coefficient of variation with the predicate device.

Linearity Evaluation: The In Touch® meter was tested to determine the linearity in accordance with CLSI document EP6-A, "Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach" v23, no 16, and ISO 15197: 2003. The In Touch® meter was shown to demonstrate high linearity over the range 10.46 mg/dL to 672.9 mg/dL. The claimed blood glucose measuring range is 20 to 600 mg/dL, as with the predicate device. Linear regression showed a correlation of r²=0.9995 compared to the mass spectrometry reference standard and correlation of r =0.9988 with the predicate device over the range 24 mg/dL to 560 mg/dL, and a correlation coefficient of r'= 0.9986 over the range 10.46 mg/dL to 672.9 mg/dL compared to the YSI STAT standard reference.

Accuracy Evaluation (non-user): The In Touch® meter was evaluated for accuracy (non-user) using YSI as the reference standard. The In Touch® meter was 100% accurate within ±15

{11}------------------------------------------------

mg/dL at blood glucose concentrations <75 mg/dL and 100% within ± 15 mg/ml and blood glucose concentrations ≥75 mg/dL 99.7% within ±15 mg/dL meeting accuracy acceptance criteria.

Hematocrit Evaluation: The effect of varying hematocrit levels on the performance of the In Touch® meter was evaluated over a hematocrit range of 20-70% hematocrit and compared to the predicate. As for the predicate the results validated the range of 20% to 70% for the In Touch® meter, with a percent bias less than 8% across all ranges of hematocrit and within the glucose concentration range from 40 mg/dL to 550 mg/dL.

Analytical Specificity: The interference study was completed by ACON Laboratories (K112653) and was designed according to CLSI EP7-A2 guideline. Interference Effect studies were performed on the On Call Blood Glucose Monitoring System and the identical strips are used with In Touch® Blood Glucose Monitoring System. 35 common endogenous and exogenous interfering substances were evaluated by spiking venous blood to three levels of glucose concentrations (50, 100, 350 mg/dL). The glucose samples were then spiked with the potentially interfering compounds (2 concentration including normal or therapeutic levels and high or toxic levels). Two meters were used for this study with 4 strips for each meter. Three lots of test strips were tested for a total of 1152 test strips. Bias was calculated as the mean percent difference in glucose reading between the test and control concentration groups. The sponsor claims no significant interference if bias between the tested and the control sample is <10% difference. A summary of the concentrations of the potential interfering substances tested is summarized in the table below:

Based on the study data, all the substances and levels tested above have <10% bias except for ascorbic acid > 3 mg/dL (above therapeutic levels). Ascorbic acid levels > 3 mg/dL will interfere with the glucose reading; therefore, the following limitation has been included in the labeling:

"Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (when occurring in blood at normal or at high therapeutic concentration) do not significantly affect results. However, abnormally high concentration ) in blood may cause inaccurately high results."

Operating Temperature and Humidity Study: This study confirmed the operation of the In Touch® Blood Glucose Monitoring System for the temperature range of 5-45ºC and the relative humidity range of 10-90%, noncondensing.

Robustness Evaluation: In Touch® demonstrated robustness to cleaning, disinfection, and handling under simulated conditions. The subject device was found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device across the entire claimed measuring range, before and after the 1,825 cleaning cycles of cleaning and disinfection with Dispatch® Hospital Cleaner Disinfectant Towels with Bleach disposable wipes (EPA Reg. No: 56392-8).The In Touch® Blood Glucose Meter is robust to multiple cleaning and disinfection cycles under normal user simulated conditions of a 5 year period with no alteration in the physical, operational, mechanical, or analytical performance characteristics and meets the acceptance criteria for cleaning and disinfection.

Flex Studies: The In Touch® Blood Glucose Monitoring System was examined to test the operational limits of the system and to validate the insensitivity of the system to performance variation under stress conditions. Accordingly, the following were carried out:

    1. Risk Analysis, a systematic and comprehensive risk analysis that has identified all potential sources of error, including test system failures and operator error. Control measures are identified including fail-safe and failure alert mechanisms;
    1. Mechanical Vibration testing. Fifty (50) In Touch® devices were subjected to 0.7 mm amplitude, 1 cycle, 10-60 MHz, 2 minutes for a total of 1.5 hours;
    1. Aging test at 43°C for 120 days. All studies showed the performance to be unaffected by vibration or aging.

Human Factors Studies: A number of ergonomic factors were tested with users including meter size, display size, the placement of buttons, height of the numerals, and meter carrying case. The studies show that users find In Touch® to be easy to use and that the ergonomic factors designed into the system reduce user error through clear display and easy to understand language. The usability testing and results were considered in the Risk Analysis. As problems were identified, both software and mechanical changes were made.

ISTA Standard 2A Transportation & Packaging: Testing demonstrated compliance with ISTA Standard 2A, Partial Simulation Performance Testing for Medical Devices.
