Intended Use

The Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (Dexcom G6 System) is a real time, continuous glucose monitoring device indicated for the management of diabetes in persons age 2 years and older.

The Dexcom G6 System is intended to replace fingerstick blood glucose testing for diabetes treatment decisions. Interpretation of the Dexcom G6 System results should be based on the glucose trends and several sequential readings over time. The Dexcom G6 System also aids in the detection of episodes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, facilitating both acute and long-term therapy adjustments.

The Dexcom G6 System is also intended to autonomously communicate with digitally connected devices, including automated insulin dosing (AID) systems. The Dexcom G6 System can be used alone or in conjunction with these digitally connected medical devices for the purpose of managing diabetes.

Device Description

The Dexcom G6 System in an integrated continuous glucose monitoring system (iCGM) that provides continuous glucose readings which are updated every 5 minutes providing glucose levels, trends, and alerts. The System consists of three main components: a sensor, a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transmitter and a BLE enabled display device (receiver and/or mobile application). The user can view glucose data on the receiver or on the G6 CGM App (i.e., a mobile medical application) running on a compatible mobile device, or on both simultaneously.

The system provides alerts and alarms which warn the user of low or impending low and high or impending high glucose levels. The user may determine their treatment based on the glucose values provided by the system.

AI/ML Overview

The acceptance criteria for the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria are detailed below.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are derived from 21 CFR 862.1355 (paragraph (v)), which outlines specific performance requirements for iCGM devices in the adult population. The reported device performance is extracted from the provided clinical study data.

When iCGM values < 70 mg/dL, no corresponding blood glucose value shall read > 180 mg/dLNot explicitly quantified as a single percentage, but concurrence tables demonstrate values. (e.g. For iCGM <40mg/dL, highest comparator value recorded is 161-200mg/dL for 0.1%, and for 40-60mg/dL, highest is 161-200mg/dL for 0.1%)
When iCGM values > 180 mg/dL, no corresponding blood glucose value shall read < 70 mg/dLNot explicitly quantified as a single percentage, but concurrence tables demonstrate values. (e.g. For iCGM >400mg/dL, lowest comparator value recorded is 251-300mg/dL for 5.9%)
No more than 1% of iCGM measurements indicate positive glucose rate of change > 1 mg/dL/min when true negative glucose rate of change < -2 mg/dL/minFor Comparator Rate Range < -2 mg/dL/min, iCGM Rate Range (1,2] is 0.0%, and >2 is 0.2%. Combined are 0.2%, which is <1%.
No more than 1% of iCGM measurements indicate negative glucose rate of change < -1 mg/dL/min when true positive glucose rate of change > 2 mg/dL/minFor Comparator Rate Range > 2 mg/dL/min, iCGM Rate Range <-2 is 0.1%, and [-2,-1) is 0.1%. Combined are 0.2%, which is <1%.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Clinical Studies (Test Set):

    • Study 1 & 2 Combined: Total 380 participants (adult and pediatric), with 324 completing the studies.
      • Adults: 159
      • Pediatrics: 165 (encompassing ages 2-17)
    • Acetaminophen Interference Study: 70 subjects.
  • Data Provenance:

    • Country of Origin: United States (studies conducted at 11 centers across the US).
    • Retrospective or Prospective: Prospective.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

The document does not explicitly state the number of experts used or their specific qualifications for establishing the ground truth. However, the ground truth comparator method is consistently referred to as a "laboratory-based blood glucose measurement method (Yellow Springs Instrument 2300 STAT plus Glucose analyzer)" or "blood glucose meter" for certain pediatric populations. This implies that the ground truth was established by trained laboratory personnel or healthcare professionals operating these reference instruments, rather than a panel of clinical experts adjudicating cases.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe an adjudication method involving experts for the test set. The ground truth was established by direct comparison to laboratory or blood glucose meter readings, which are considered objective measurements. Therefore, an expert adjudication method like "2+1" or "3+1" was not applicable or performed in this context.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The evaluation focuses on the accuracy and performance of the device itself against a comparator method, not on how human readers' performance might improve with or without AI assistance. The device is a continuous glucose monitor for direct patient use and integration with other devices, not an interpretive aid for human readers.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

Yes, the primary evaluation of the Dexcom G6 System's accuracy, trend accuracy, alert performance, and sensor stability reported in Section L.3 "Clinical studies" appears to be a standalone (algorithm only) performance assessment. The iCGM values are directly compared to laboratory or blood glucose meter comparator methods without human intervention in the device's output or interpretation. The system is designed to provide real-time glucose values autonomously. The human factors study (Section M.3) evaluated user interaction with the device, but the core performance metrics are device-centric.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used was:

  • Laboratory-based blood glucose measurement method: Specifically, the Yellow Springs Instrument 2300 STAT plus Glucose analyzer was used as the primary comparator for most accuracy assessments. This is a highly accurate and precise laboratory reference method.
  • Fingerstick blood glucose testing using a blood glucose meter: Used as a comparator method for pediatric subjects aged 2-5 years and in the acetaminophen interference study alongside the laboratory method.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the training set used to develop the Dexcom G6 System's algorithm. The provided information focuses on the clinical validation (test set) rather than the preceding development and training phases.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

The document does not provide details on how the ground truth for the training set was established. As common with medical device development, it is assumed that similar laboratory-based reference methods and potentially additional rigorous clinical data would have been used during the development and training phases to establish the ground truth for algorithm optimization, prior to the formal clinical validation studies presented.

I. Device Description:

The Dexcom G6 System in an integrated continuous glucose monitoring system (iCGM) that provides continuous glucose readings which are updated every 5 minutes providing glucose levels, trends, and alerts. The System consists of three main components: a sensor, a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transmitter and a BLE enabled display device (receiver and/or mobile application). The user can view glucose data on the receiver or on the G6 CGM App (i.e., a mobile medical application) running on a compatible mobile device, or on both simultaneously.

The system provides alerts and alarms which warn the user of low or impending low and high or impending high glucose levels. The user may determine their treatment based on the glucose values provided by the system.

G6 CGM SENSOR

The sensor component is a sterile device that consists of the sensor applicator, plastic base ("transmitter holder"), and sensor probe. The applicator is a single use, disposable unit that contains an introducer needle holding the sensor probe. The applicator deploys the needle and inserts the sensor under the skin. The needle is retracted back into the applicator after insertion. The sensor probe continuously measures glucose concentration in interstitial fluid and can be worn for up to 10 days.

The sensor may be worn in the abdomen for adults, and both the abdomen and buttock for children ages 2-17 years old. Sensor comes with a calibration code that the user enters into the system upon initializing a new sensor. Once the code is applied, the user does not need to calibrate the system throughout the entirety of the sensor lifetime, which is 10 days. However, the user has the option to manually calibrate the system using self-measurements from a blood glucose meter in addition to entering the calibration code. Alternatively, if the user chooses not to enter the calibration code, he or she must manually calibrate the sensor by entering two fingerstick blood glucose values during start up and every 24 hours thereafter.

G6 CGM TRANSMITTER

The G6 CGM Transmitter is a miniature radio transmitter that incorporates data processing functionality. The transmitter contains a Bluetooth radio transceiver for communication with a compatible display device (i.e., receiver and/or smart device). The transmitter attaches to the sensor and can be re-used for multiple sensing sessions up to three months.

G6 CGM RECEIVER

The G6 CGM Receiver is small hand-held device that wirelessly receives glucose information from the transmitter every five minutes and includes a touchscreen display. The

{4}------------------------------------------------

receiver displays the current glucose reading and glucose trends to the user. It alerts the user when glucose levels are outside of a target zone and when other important system conditions occur.

DEXCOM G6 System MOBILE APP

The G6 CGM App for iOS and G6 CGM App for Android provides an alternative display device to the receiver for users with a compatible, BLE-enabled smart device and behaves similarly to the receiver. The G6 CGM App is compatible with certain iOS, Android and Smart Device watches. A link to a list of compatible devices is included in the instructions for use.

The Dexcom G6 System is an interoperable connected device that can communicate glucose readings and other information wirelessly and securely to and from interoperable electronic interfaces; including compatible AID systems. The G6 CGM system is designed to communicate with interoperable devices in several ways, such as described below:

  • · Wireless communication from the transmitter directly to an interoperable device communicating through the same protocol.
  • · The app communicates to another app on a single mobile platform.
  • · The app communicates through the cloud to another software device.

K. Test Principle:

The Dexcom G6 System detects glucose levels from the fluid just beneath the skin (interstitial fluid). The sensor probe continuously measures glucose concentration in the interstitial fluid via an enzymatic electrochemical reaction using glucose oxidase. The enzyme, glucose oxidase, catalyzes the oxidation of glucose and produces hydrogen peroxide. The production of hydrogen peroxide generates an electrical current that is proportionate to the interstitial glucose concentration. The transmitter converts the signal using an algorithm to a glucose value read in mg/dL, which is then transmitted to the receiver for the user to see and use accordingly.

L. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

    1. Analytical performance:
    • a. Reproducibility/Precision

iCGM performance was evaluated in clinical studies described in Section L(3) below. A subset of randomly-selected subjects (n=67) wore two devices concurrently (blinded and unblinded iCGM Systems) at the same sensor insertion site (abdomen or buttock) to evaluate the device precision. A table of the sensor and site distribution is provided below. A total of (b) (4) CGM-CGM matched pairs (match within the same

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

individual subject) contributed to the analysis. Mean absolute relative difference (between the 2 concurrently worn devices) was 9.6%; and mean coefficient of variation (CV) was 8.4%.

The following table shows that the agreement of readings from the two sensors for each insertion site. It should be noted that only the pediatric population may use both the abdomen and buttocks insertion sites. For adults (18+ years old) on abdomen, absolute relative difference (ARD) between the two Systems was 8.9% with CV of 7.9%. For pediatrics (2-5 years old) on upper buttocks, paired ARD was 5.2% with CV of 4.8%.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

The reportable range for the G6 CGM is 40 to 400 mg/dL. Data supporting this claimed measurement range was generated in the clinical study described in Section

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

L(3) below.

  • c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
    The G6 CGM sensor has a storage shelf-life of (b) (4) and testing is on-going. Shelf life was evaluated at 32°-86° F and 10-90% relative humidity.

The G6 CGM Transmitter has sufficient battery life to function for 3 months as intended following its maximum storage time of(b) (4) Shelf life was evaluated at 32°-113° F and 10-95% relative humidity.

  • d. Detection limit
    If a glucose measurement is less than 40 mg/dL, the result is displayed by the system as 'Lo'. If a glucose measurement exceeds 400 mg/dL, result is displayed as 'Hi'. Data supporting this claimed measurement range was generated in the clinical study described in Section L(3) below.

  • e. Analytical specificity:
    Certain endogenous and exogenous substances in the interstitial fluid may interfere with iCGM measurements. The types of potential interference and the extent of bias are dependent on the test principle of the particular iCGM technology. For this technology, acetaminophen has previously been shown to present significant interference in earlier generations of similar Dexcom Systems approved under the product code MDS (e.g., Dexcom G4 (P120005) and G5 (P120005/S033) Systems) and has been contraindicated in those types of CGM systems.

acetaminophen Formal testing was conducted with both acetaminophen dose response bench testing and clinical validation. During clinical testing, all medications for which the subject was using or had used over the course of the study along with frequency of use were recorded. Both studies did not include exclusion criteria based on medications or vitamin use.

The G6 CGM sensor was designed to reduce interference from acetaminophen. A clinical study was performed to evaluate acetaminophen interference for the G6 CGM System. It is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study that enrolled 70 subjects at 4 sites. The study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the G6 CGM sensor in blocking the interference of acetaminophen on iCGM readings in adult subjects (18 or older) with diabetes mellitus.

The clinical study included a single session to evaluate the G6 CGM System in blocking the interference of acetaminophen as measured by iCGM performance. Subjects wore two iCGM systems, the G6 system and the G4 CGM (P120005), on the abdomen for approximately 5 days. Subjects participated in one clinic session on day 4 or 5 after sensor insertion. A single 1.000 mg dose of acetaminophen was orally

{10}------------------------------------------------

administered to the subject during the clinic session. Both a laboratory-based blood glucose measurement method (Yellow Springs Instrument 2300 STAT plus Glucose analyzer) and fingerstick blood glucose testing using a blood glucose meter were performed at regular intervals before and after acetaminophen ingestion.

The interference effect on the iCGM system was evaluated by comparing the bias in the glucose values from the iCGM systems after administration of 1000 mg of acetaminophen to glucose values prior to acetaminophen dosing. Bias was calculated by taking the difference in glucose measurements between iCGM and laboratory blood glucose values. A G4 CGM sensor was used as a comparator for establishing the time from acetaminophen dose to a maximum bias and the duration of bias in the interstitial fluid.

Study data indicates that a single dose of 1000 mg does not introduce significant interference to the device. The accuracy and percentage agreement of the Dexcom G6 System Sensor and the laboratory comparator method are described in the tables below. The mean absolute relative difference (MARD) increased 1% (7% pre-dose vs. 8%

post-dose). The sensor values within %15/15mg/dL of laboratory comparator method values decreased by 3%, and the sensor values within %20/20 mg/dL to %40/40 mg/dL within laboratory comparator method values did not change.

In addition, an outlier analysis was conducted to determine whether there was any observational relationship that existed between medication or vitamin use and G6 sensor performance. An outlier condition of percent of values within %20/20 mg/dL of laboratory comparator method value accuracy rate of ≤35% was selected to

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

evaluate the relationship between concomitant medications and low sensor accuracy. This acceptance criteria was based on the distribution of the %20/20 mg/dL accuracy rate across all subject participants within the clinical accuracy studies (n=324).

Based on the results of the clinical evaluation, the following statements have been placed in the device labeling:

  • . "With the Dexcom G6 System, you can take a standard acetaminophen dose and still use the Dexcom G6 System readings. Taking higher than recommended doses of acetaminophen (e.g. > 1 gram every 6 hours in adults) may affect the Dexcom G6 System reading and make them look higher than they really are."
  • "A clinical study including 65 adults was performed to demonstrate acetaminophen does not significantly interfere with iCGM readings. The difference in biases of the Dexcom G6 System was measured inreference to the laboratory comparator before and after 1 gram acetaminophen intake. This difference was defined as the maximum interference effect (MIE) defined as the maximum bias post-dose subtracted by the mean baseline bias. The mean MIE of the C6 sensor was 5.2 mg/dL (max bias post dose - max bias pre-dose using laboratory comparator reference) and was statistically significantly lower than the performance goal of 10 mg/dL (one-sided upper 95% CI of 6.4 mg/dL, p < 0.001).

Higher concentrations of acetaminophen were tested in bench studies. According to the bench testing, acetaminophen concentrations of up to ~2 mg/dl (physiologic concentrations with standard dosing) demonstrated no clinically significant changes in glucose measurements (i.e. < 10 mg/dl or < 10% bias). However, acetaminophen concentrations of 6.5 mg/dl demonstrated up to 22 mg/dl glucose measurement bias and acetaminophen concentrations at 20 mg/dl demonstrated up to 70 mg/dl glucose measurement bias (in a glucose concentration of 60 mg/dl). Therefore, although standard dosing of acetaminophen with physiologic concentrations up to ~2 mg/dl does not appear to cause significant bias, higher supra-therapeutic levels appears to lead to clinically significant bias. Therefore, although the contraindication to acetaminophen may be acceptable for standard dosing, higher supratherapeutic (> ~2-3 times therapeutic levels) levels of acetaminophen has shown significant bias."

3. Clinical studies:

Two clinical studies were conducted to support the accuracy performance of the device:

Study NamePatientPopulationStudy Objective
Effectiveness and Safetyof the Dexcom™ G6Continuous GlucoseMonitoring System(Study 1)2 years andolderType 1 orType 2DiabetesEnrolled:n=304Completed:n=262Pivotal study to evaluate effectiveness andsafety of the G6 Continuous GlucoseMonitoring System compared to alaboratory blood glucose measurementmethod in Type 1 and Type 2 diabeticsubjects aged 2 years and older.
Effectiveness and Safetyof the Dexcom™ G6Continuous GlucoseMonitoring System withan Automated Applicator(Study 2)6 years andolderType 1 orType 2DiabetesEnrolled:n=76Completed:n=62Sub-Study to demonstrate comparabilityof the performance of the Dexcom G6System with Automated SensorApplicator (auto-applicator) to theperformance of the Dexcom G6 Systemobserved in the pivotal study referencedabove which used a manual applicator.

Study 1 and Study 2 have different sensor applicator mechanisms and the applicator configuration in Study 2 will be the marketed version of the device. Dexcom conducted Study 2 to demonstrate comparable performance of the two device configurations. Results of these two studies are presented below together.

To demonstrate the accuracy performance of the Dexcom G6 System, two prospective clinical studies were conducted at 11 centers across the United States. The studies included both adult (18 years and older) and pediatric (2 to 17 years) participants. The studies enrolled a total of 380 adult (18 years and older) and pediatric (2 to 17 years) participants with 99% having Type 1 diabetes mellitus and 1% having insulin-using Type 2 diabetes mellitus. A total of 324 subjects completed the studies.

Participants wore either one or two sensors for up to 10 days. A subset of participants

{13}------------------------------------------------

wore two sensors for the precision study to compare variability of readings between sensors (see Section L(1)(a) above). Adult participants wore their Dexcom G6 System (s) in the abdomen only; pediatric subjects had the choice of either abdomen or upper buttocks. Clinic session(s) took place on Day 1, Day 4-5, Day 7, and/or Day 10. Depending on the participant's age, they participated in either 1, 2 or 3 clinic sessions of varying duration.

In Study 1, under close observation by the study investigator staff, the glucose levels of study participants 13 years and older were deliberately manipulated per a protocol to raise or lower blood glucose levels to assess performance over the range that iCGM measures glucose (40-400 mg/dl). In Study 2, participants managed their glucose as they normally do: glucose was not deliberately manipulated.

  • . Adult subjects: Two or three 12-hour clinic sessions compared to laboratory blood glucose comparator method.
  • . Pediatrics 13-17 years: One 12 hour clinic session compared to laboratory blood glucose comparator method with glucose manipulation.
  • . Pediatrics 6-12 years: One 6 hour clinic session compared to laboratory blood glucose comparator method but no glucose manipulation.
  • . Pediatrics 2-5 years: One 4 hour clinic session compared to blood glucose meter comparator method.

Accuracy of the Dexcom G6 System was evaluated by comparing iCGM values obtained at the same or similar time points to the comparator methods. In the studies below, the absolute differences in ms/dL of values compared to the of the comparator method were calculated for all values below 70 mg/dL. For all values 70 mg/dL and above, percentage differences compared to the comparator method were calculated.

The following tables present the data from the clinical studies:

Trend Accuracy

Trend accuracy describes the accuracy of the sensor during times of rapidly changing glucose and are characterized by slopes, such as from >2 mg/dL to <- 2 mg/dL. Trend accuracy was assessed by the concurrence rate of the glucose rate of change (changes in mg/dL of glucose per minute) determined by the iCGM values and the corresponding comparator values for each iCGM-comparator measured pairs (typically collected once every 15 minutes).

S. Benefit/Risk Analysis

This device is intended replace fingerstick glucose to track and trend interstitial glucose levels as estimates of blood glucose excursions and can be integrated as part of other digitally connected medical devices, including AID systems.

The benefits of this iCGM device include:

  • . Functions not feasible using traditional blood glucose monitoring. Traditional blood glucose meters only provide information about discrete, intermittent blood glucose levels and therefore are unable to provide information regarding patterns of glycemic excursions throughout the day and night when patients may be unable to test their blood glucose. An adjustable threshold and predictive glucose alert at 55 mg/dL are intended to warn patients that they need to take action to prevent a hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic event. Real-time knowledge of whether blood glucose is increasing or decreasing adds information unavailable by traditional discrete monitoring. This information regarding direction and rate of change can alert users that they need to take action to prevent hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. This is especially helpful for individuals with hypoglycemia unawareness (these individuals may develop severe hypoglycemia with loss of consciousness, seizures, or rarely death without the normal warning symptoms), or during the night when subjects may have prolonged hypoglycemia that does not waken them which could proceed to severe hypoglycemia if not treated in time. Traditional blood glucose monitoring is not able to capture these potentially dangerous episodes of asymptomatic hypoglycemia.
  • Accurate and reliable measurement of glucose. The Dexcom G6 System has . demonstrated accurate point and trend accuracy. In addition, this device has no interference from acetaminophen at standard doses, and can be used for a relative

{38}------------------------------------------------

long wear period (10 days). The device is factory calibrated which ensures continued accuracy without influence from potentially erroneous SMBG calibrations.

  • Connectivity to secondary display devices with the Dexcom Share software. This . allows users to send glucose information to others in real time. This feature presents potential benefits for users. such as young children who mav share real-time glucose data with caretakers.
  • . The ability to be securely and reliably integrate into compatible devices, such as AID svstems.

The risks of this iCGM device include:

  • Clinical action based on falsely high or falsely low inaccurate iCGM glucose values . or inaccurate alerts may lead to inappropriate treatment decisions. Therapy decisions based on falsely high or falsely low inaccurate iCGM results may increase risk of severe dysglycemia due to undetected or mistreated low or high blood sugar.
  • Clinical action in pediatric patients based on falsely high or falsely low inaccurate . iCGM values or inaccurate alerts due to poorer or different iCGM performance in pediatric populations. Treatment decisions based on falsely high or falsely low iCGM values may increase risk of severe dysglycemiadue to undetected or mistreated low or high blood sugar.
  • . The inability to make appropriate treatment decisions when iCGM glucose values are unavailable due to sensor signal drop-out or loss of communication with digitally connected devices. Clinical inaction may result in increased risk of severe dysglycemia when blood glucose values are acutely low or high.
  • . Patient harm due to insecure transmission of iCGM data.
  • . Use of an iCGM as part of another digitally connected medical device system, such as an AID system, when the iCGM has inadequate analytical or clinical performance to support the intended use of the digitally connected device.

The sponsor has demonstrated that the probable benefits of the Dexcom G6 System outweigh the probable risks in light of the special controls for this type of device (iCGMs) and in combination with the general controls. These special controls are intended to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device in the hands of the intended users, adequate controls for secure and reliable inter-device communication, manufacturing controls to assure all released devices maintain adequate performance to mitigate the risks identified above, and adequate transparency to allow the community to understand expected sensor performance.
