Intended Use

The Chol+Glu Test Panel is intended to measure cholesterol and glucose in whole blood on a BioScanner Plus (CardioChek brand) analyzer. The test strips are intended to be used by healthcare professionals and individuals at home to measure blood cholesterol and glucose. Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders. Glucose measurements are used in the management of carbohydrate metabolism disorders.

Device Description

The Chol+Glu Test Panel is a dry phase test strip that is constructed from a plastic ship holder that holds chemically heated membranes. When whole blood is placed on the test ship, the membranes first separate and isolate the red blood cells, allowing the serum/plasma to flow to the reaction membrane and react to produce a color change. The Chol+Glu Test Panel is for in vitro diagnostic use with a CardioChek brand (BioScanner Plus) reflectance photometer.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the Chol+Glu Test Panel, a device intended to measure cholesterol and glucose in whole blood. However, the document does not contain explicit acceptance criteria or a dedicated study section detailing how the device meets such criteria in the format requested. Instead, it details the 510(k) submission process, a comparison with predicate devices, and general information about the device's intended use and technology.

Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be directly extracted from the provided text. The information below is based on what can be inferred or directly stated in the document, acknowledging the limitations.

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for performance metrics like accuracy, precision, sensitivity, or specificity. However, it does provide the measuring ranges for the analytes, which serve as a de facto performance specification that the device must operate within.

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Measuring Ranges)Reported Device Performance
Cholesterol:Cholesterol:
Operates within 100-400 mg/dLNot explicitly stated as "performance results" in this document, but implied to meet these ranges based on 510(k) clearance.
Glucose:Glucose:
Operates within 20-600 mg/dLNot explicitly stated as "performance results" in this document, but implied to meet these ranges based on 510(k) clearance.

Study Details:

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

    • Not specified. The document mentions "The Chol+Glu Test Panel is for in vitro diagnostic use," but does not provide details about clinical study sample sizes, data provenance, or study design (retrospective/prospective). This information would typically be found in a more detailed clinical study report, not a 510(k) summary.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):

    • Not specified. The document does not describe the establishment of ground truth by experts for a test set. For these types of devices, ground truth is typically established using a reference laboratory method rather than expert consensus on readings.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable/Not specified. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used for subjective assessments (e.g., image interpretation). For a quantitative diagnostic device like this, ground truth is usually established by objective laboratory methods, not by expert adjudication of interpretations.
  4. 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:

    • Not applicable. This device is a dry-phase test strip for measuring cholesterol and glucose, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool or an imaging device requiring human reader interpretation. Therefore, an MRMC study or AI assistance parameters are not relevant.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Not applicable. This is a chemical assay test strip that produces a quantitative result read by a photometer. There isn't an "algorithm only" performance concept in the way it applies to software-based diagnostic aids. The device itself generates the result.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • Inferred to be laboratory reference methods. For in vitro diagnostic devices measuring analytes like glucose and cholesterol, "ground truth" or reference values are typically established using highly accurate and precise laboratory-based analyzer methods (e.g., enzymatic reference methods in a clinical chemistry laboratory). The document does not explicitly state this, but it is standard practice for such devices.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not specified. The document does not distinguish between training and test sets or provide sample sizes for either. For a dry-phase chemical assay, the "training" aspect is more related to assay development and calibration rather than machine learning training.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not specified. Similar to point 7, the document does not detail how ground truth (or reference values for calibration/development) was established. It is presumed to be through highly accurate laboratory reference methods.

Dear Ms. Enright:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of June 25, 2004 regarding the indications for is for your device. These types of devices are cleared for management of carbohydrate metabolism disorder and not for diagnosis of such disorders.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
