Device Description

The Ascensia® BREEZE®2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of:

  1. Ascensia® BREEZE®2 Blood Glucose Monitor
  2. Ascensia BREEZE®2 Blood Glucose Test Strips
  3. Ascensia BREEZE®2 Control Solution
AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Ascensia® BREEZE®2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The submission does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria in a table format with specific performance metrics (e.g., accuracy percentages, limits of agreement). Instead, it makes a general statement about performance.

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device"The results of the clinical evaluations of The Ascensia® BREEZE®2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System demonstrated that the device can produce blood glucose results that are substantially equivalent to results obtained on the predicate device."
Improved Performance over Original Ascensia® BREEZE®"The studies showed improved performance compared with past clinical studies of the original Ascensia® BREEZE® Blood Glucose Monitoring System."
Linearity Range"The system has a linearity response to glucose from 20-600 mg/dL."

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

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "subject meter results for capillary blood samples" and "a validation... performed in a clinical setting by persons with diabetes." However, the exact number of participants or samples is not provided.
  • Data Provenance: Prospective and clinical. The study was "performed in a clinical setting by persons with diabetes," suggesting a prospective clinical trial. The country of origin is not specified but given the submitter's address (Mishawaka, IN, USA) and FDA submission, it likely involved data from the USA.

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

  • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated.
  • Qualifications of Experts: The ground truth was established by "results of a laboratory glucose analyzer" and "BREEZE®2 results obtained by a healthcare professional." The specific qualifications of the healthcare professional are not detailed, nor are the specific details of the laboratory glucose analyzer.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not specified. The document states that "subject meter results for capillary blood samples were compared with BREEZE®2 results obtained by a healthcare professional and results of a laboratory glucose analyzer." This implies a comparison against these two reference methods, but no adjudication process for discrepancies is described.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a blood glucose monitoring system, not an imaging device that would typically involve multiple human readers interpreting cases.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done

Yes, a standalone performance assessment was effectively done. The device's results (from the Ascensia® BREEZE®2 Blood Glucose Monitor used by subjects) were compared directly against reference methods ("BREEZE®2 results obtained by a healthcare professional and results of a laboratory glucose analyzer"). This evaluates the device's performance independently.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the test set was established by:

  • Comparison with laboratory glucose analyzer results. This is considered a high-fidelity reference standard for blood glucose measurement.
  • Comparison with BREEZE®2 results obtained by a healthcare professional. This serves as another point of comparison, likely using the device itself but operated by a trained professional.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable/Not provided. The text describes a validation study, but there is no mention of a separate "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm development, as this device predates widespread regulatory submissions for such technologies in medical devices. This is a traditional medical device submission for a blood glucose monitor.

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

Not applicable. As noted above, this device predates the typical AI/ML development paradigms involving distinct training sets requiring ground truth establishment in that context.

The Ascensia®BREEZE®2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System allows theuser an option to use the palm and forearm in addition to thefingertip (testing) to collect capillary blood for self-monitoringof blood glucose within certain conditions as explained in thelabeling. Ascensia® BREEZE®2 Blood Glucose MonitoringSystem is an over-the-counter (OTC) device used bypersons with diabetes. Ascensia® Breeze®2 Blood GlucoseMonitoring System is not for use with neonatal bloodspecimens. The frequent monitoring of blood glucose is anadjunct to the care of persons with diabetes.
TechnologicalCharacteristics:The Ascensia® BREEZE®2 Blood Glucose MonitoringSystem employs an amperometric glucose oxidase methodto measure glucose in blood. It is conceptually the same asother blood glucose monitoring products available for bloodglucose testing. Blood glucose results are referenced toplasma glucose. The system has a linearity response toglucose from 20-600 mg/dL.
Assessment ofPerformance:A validation of the Ascensia® BREEZE®2 Blood GlucoseMonitoring System was performed in a clinical setting bypersons with diabetes. The subject meter results forcapillary blood samples were compared with BREEZE®2results obtained by a healthcare professional and results ofa laboratory glucose analyzer. The studies showedimproved performance compared with past clinical studies ofthe original Ascensia® BREEZE® Blood Glucose MonitoringSystem.
Conclusion:The results of the clinical evaluations of The Ascensia®BREEZE®2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System demonstratedthat the device can produce blood glucose results that aresubstantially equivalent to results obtained on the predicatedevice.
