  • Linearity: 10 different glucose concentrations per lot of test strips.
  • Precision:
    • Day-to-day: 3 levels of control solutions, 3 different test strip lots, 10 measurements from 10 meters per level over 10 days (total 900 measurements per device model for day-to-day precision).
    • Within-day: 5 levels of spiked whole blood, 10 measurements from 10 meters per level, 3 different test strip lots (total 1500 measurements per device model for within-day precision).
  • Data Provenance: Conducted as "in-house study" performing by technician at 2 clinical sites and one OTC site. The manufacturer is Tyson Bioresearch Inc. located in Chun-nan, Miao-li County, CHINA (TAIWAN) 350. The data is prospective, generated specifically for this 510(k) submission.

3. 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)

The ground truth was established by a laboratory reference method, not by human experts in the sense of image interpretation. The YSI 2300 Glucose Analyzer was used as the reference method. No information on human expert qualifications is provided as it is not applicable for this type of device.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. The ground truth was established by the YSI 2300 Glucose Analyzer as a direct reference measurement, not through expert adjudication.

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

Not applicable. This device is a blood glucose monitoring system, not an AI diagnostic tool for medical image analysis requiring human reader comparison.

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

Yes, the primary performance characteristic studies (precision, linearity, hematocrit, altitude, interference) represent standalone algorithm performance as they compare meter readings directly to the YSI reference. The clinical accuracy studies also evaluate the meter's performance (standalone) compared to the YSI. The lay user studies assess the device's accuracy when operated by intended users, but the "performance" itself is the device's output compared to a ground truth, not human-in-the-loop AI performance.

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

The ground truth was established using the YSI 2300 Glucose Analyzer, which is a laboratory reference method for glucose measurement.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a traditional in vitro diagnostic device, not an AI/ML device that requires a distinct "training set" for model development. The performance studies evaluate the fixed design of the device.

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

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of AI/ML for this device. The YSI 2300 Glucose Analyzer was used as the reference standard for all performance evaluation.

5. INTENDED USE:

The DIACHEX* DETERMINE / DIACHEX* INFINITY Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for use in the quantitatively measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood from the fingertip and the alternative sites: the palm and the forearm. The DIACHEX* DETERMINE / DIACHEX* INFINITY Blood Glucose Test Strips are for testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use).

It is not intended for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus. The alternative site testing in the systems can be used only during steady-state blood glucose conditions.

6. TEST PRINCIPLE

The test principle is based on electrochemical biosensor technology using glucose oxidase. Glucose is oxidized to gluconic acid and electrons are produced from the reaction. The electrons are then trapped by a chemical mediator, potassium ferricyanide. Once the enzymatic reaction is complete, a potential is provided by the meter for a further electrochemical reaction in order to generate a current from the release of trapped electrons. This current is then measured and correlated to the glucose concentration in the whole-blood sample. The test strip is calibrated to display the equivalent of plasma glucose values to allow easy comparison of results with laboratory methods.
