Intended Use

The Precision Xtra / MediSense Optium / Precision Easy / MediSense Optium Easy Blood Glucose Test Strip is intended for outside-of-the-body (in-vitro diagnostic) use. The system is indicated for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh whole blood for self-testing by lay users (e.g., from the finger, forearm, upper arm or base of thumb), or by health care professionals. The test strip is to be used for monitoring blood glucose concentrations in persons with diabetes and other conditions.

Device Description

The test strip is for blood glucose testing utilizes amperometric biosensor technology to generate a current. The size of the current is proportional to the amount of glucose present in the sample, providing a quantitative measure of glucose in whole blood and control solutions.

AI/ML Overview

Acceptance Criteria and Study for Precision Xtra/MediSense Optium Blood Glucose Test Strip

The provided document describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the Precision Xtra/MediSense Optium Blood Glucose Test Strip. The acceptance criteria for this device are implicitly tied to demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, the Precision Xtra® Blood Glucose Testing System (K010553). The performance studies conducted aimed to show that the new test strip yields blood glucose results "substantially equivalent" to current methods, including the predicate device, for both laboratory and clinical settings, and that trained operators and lay users obtain equivalent results.

While specific numerical acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated in a table within the provided text, the core acceptance criterion is that the device's performance is acceptable and comparable to the predicate device and current methods for blood glucose measurement. This includes achieving substantially equivalent results when testing blood glucose concentrations during a steady state, and also when comparing fingertip results to alternative sites (forearm, upper arm, or base of thumb).

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

As specific numerical acceptance criteria were not explicitly quantified in the provided text, the table below reflects the qualitative acceptance criteria implied by the substantial equivalence claim and the reported performance.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Substantially equivalent to predicate device (K010553)Performance is acceptable and comparable to the predicate device.
Substantially equivalent to current methods for blood glucose measurementsLay users can obtain blood glucose results substantially equivalent to current methods.
Equivalent results between trained operators and lay usersClinical performance testing demonstrates trained operators and lay users obtain equivalent whole blood glucose results.
Equivalent results when testing at alternative sites (forearm, upper arm, base of thumb) compared to fingertipResults of laboratory and clinical testing demonstrated acceptable performance, including alternative sites.

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

  • Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the specific sample size used for the test set in either the laboratory or clinical studies. It mentions that the performance was studied "in the laboratory and in clinical settings."
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. The studies were conducted in "laboratory and clinical settings" and involved "healthcare professionals and lay users," suggesting real-world testing. The study is prospective in nature, as it involves testing the new device to demonstrate its performance.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

  • Number of Experts: Not specified.
  • Qualifications of Experts: The clinical studies involved "healthcare professionals," but their specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience, specialty) are not detailed.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe any specific adjudication method (such as 2+1, 3+1, or none) for establishing ground truth for the test set. Given the nature of blood glucose measurement, the "ground truth" would typically be established by a reference laboratory method or the predicate device itself, rather than expert consensus on interpretation.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No mention of a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is present. This is not applicable as the device is a blood glucose test strip, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging tool.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

The device itself is a test strip, not an algorithm in the traditional sense of AI. Therefore, a "standalone algorithm only" performance study is not applicable. The performance is inherently tied to the chemical reactions on the strip and the accompanying meter. The studies evaluated the performance of the "test strip, when used according to the intended use stated above," which implies the entire system (strip + meter).

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The type of ground truth used is implied to be reference laboratory methods for blood glucose measurement and comparison to the predicate device (Precision Xtra® Blood Glucose Testing System, K010553). The goal was to show "substantial equivalence" to these established methods and devices.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning, as this device is a chemical biosensor, not an AI algorithm requiring a training phase.

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

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm.

Precision Xtra/MediSense Optium Blood Glucose Test Strip

510(K) SUMMARY As Required By 21 CFR 807.92

Submitted by:Janet Connolly, RACSr. Regulatory Affairs SpecialistAbbott Laboratories, MediSense Products4A Crosby DriveBedford, MA 01730-6230
Device Name:Precision Xtra / MediSense Optium / Precision Easy / MediSenseOptium Easy Blood Glucose Test Strip with True Measure Technology
Common Name:Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose System
Classification:Glucose Test SystemClass II per 21 CFR 862.1345
Predicate Device:Precision Xtra® Blood Glucose Testing System, K010553
Description:The test strip is for blood glucose testing utilizes amperometricbiosensor technology to generate a current. The size of the current isproportional to the amount of glucose present in the sample, providinga quantitative measure of glucose in whole blood and control solutions.
Intended Use:The test strip is intended for outside-the-body ( in-vitro diagnostic) use.The system is indicated for the quantitative measurement of glucose infresh whole blood for self-testing by lay users (e.g., from the finger,forearm, upper arm or base of thumb), or by health care professionals.The test strip is to be used for monitoring blood glucose concentrationsin persons with diabetes and other conditions.
Comparison toPredicate Device:The test strip has equivalent technological characteristics as thePrecision Xtra Blood Glucose Test Strip (K010553). The test strip hasthe same intended use as the original test strip with the addition offorearm, upper arm and base of thumb.
PerformanceStudies:The performance of the test strip was studied in the laboratory and inclinical settings by healthcare professionals and lay users. The studiesdemonstrated that lay users can obtain blood glucose results that aresubstantially equivalent to the current methods for blood glucosemeasurements, which include the predicate device listed above. Theperformance studies also demonstrate that testing blood glucoseconcentrations, during a steady state, are substantially equivalent.

between the fingertip and alternative sites (i.e. forearm, upper arm or base of thumb).

Conclusion: Results of laboratory and clinical testing demonstrate that the performance of the test strip, when used according to the intended use stated above, is acceptable and comparable to the performance of the previously mentioned predicate device for blood glucose testing. In addition, results of clinical performance testing demonstrate that trained operators and lay users obtain equivalent whole blood glucose results.
