2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each specific test in the performance evaluation section (PE-01 to PE-17). It refers to the report numbers PE-01 to PE-17 from the unmodified device (K080923) and states that the methods used for these tests can be found in that prior application. The actual reports for these tests repeated for CareSens N are not included in this submission. For the modified features, such as the Code Identification Test, the acceptance criterion mentions "15 types of code marks," but the specific sample size of strips tested is not provided.
The provenance of the data (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) is not explicitly stated for these studies. However, the submitter, i-SENS, Inc., is based in Seoul, Korea, suggesting the studies likely originated from there. The studies appear to be prospective performance evaluations.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The document does not provide details on the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for the various tests. For the System Accuracy Test (PE-05), it compares the CareSens N to a YSI (likely a YSI glucose analyzer, which is a laboratory reference method), implying the YSI results serve as the ground truth. Similarly, for the "Substantial Equivalence," "Consumer Study," and "Point-of-Care (POC) Study," the ground truth involves the "A-region of the Error Grid," which is a clinically accepted method for evaluating glucose meter accuracy, typically against a reference method (like YSI).
4. Adjudication method for the test set
The document does not describe any specific adjudication methods, such as 2+1 or 3+1, for the test sets. For accuracy-related studies like System Accuracy, the comparison is directly against a reference method (YSI), which implies no human adjudication beyond the reference measurement itself.
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
This section is not applicable. The device under review is a blood glucose monitoring system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation device that would involve "human readers" in the context of an MRMC study.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This concept is not directly applicable in the same way it would be for an AI algorithm interpreting an image. The CareSens N Blood Glucose Monitoring System inherently performs its measurement automatically (algorithm only) without human interpretation of the glucose value by the device itself. Human interaction is primarily for applying the blood sample and reading the displayed result. The "System Accuracy Test" (PE-05) essentially represents a standalone performance evaluation against a reference standard. The new features like automatic code identification are also standalone functions of the device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The primary type of ground truth used for accuracy and precision studies (e.g., PE-01, PE-02, PE-05) is comparison against a laboratory reference method, specifically implied by the "CareSens N vs. YSI" test (PE-05). YSI glucose analyzers are widely considered a gold standard for glucose measurement in clinical settings. For the linearity study, known glucose concentrations would be used. For the functional tests of modified features (e.g., code identification, alarms, memory), the ground truth is established by design specifications and manual verification of expected behavior.
8. The sample size for the training set
The document does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning. Blood glucose monitoring systems typically do not involve machine learning models that require distinct training sets in the way AI algorithms do. Their performance is based on electrochemical principles and calibration, not learned patterns from data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
As there is no explicit mention of a training set for a machine learning model, this question is not applicable. The 'training' for such a device involves factory calibration and quality control procedures using known glucose concentrations, rather than a data-driven training set.

Device Description:
CareSens N Blood Glucose Monitoring System ("CareSens N BGMS") is an in vitro diagnostic device designed to measure the concentration of glucose in capillary whole blood with CareSens N Test Strips. The CareSens N model consists of the CareSens N meter (Model GM505IA, GM505IB, GM505IC: IA, IB and IC indicates the color of the devices, respectively, black, white, and light blue.), CareSens N test strips, and CareSens control solutions for two different glucose concentration ranges (called "Normal" and "Middle" ranges), lancing device, lancets, user manual, quick reference guide and a logbook.
Comparison to Submitter's Previously Cleared Device (K080923):
Modifications:
Automatic code identification by the meter through detection of a marked pattern on each strip, so that the user does not input code information.
For the meter, the only difference is the addition of code identification sensors in the meter, while all other major elcctronic components are the same as those of CareSens BGMS. Please refer to Page 3 of Section 10 Specifications for details.
For the strip, the only difference is printing code-specific marks on the back side of each strip with infrared absorbing ink, while all the reagent components and mcasurement process are the same as those of CareSens BGMS. Please refer to Page 11 of Section 10 Specifications for details.

Since for CareSens N, the glucose measurement test principle, intended use, and fundamental scientific technology are the same as the submitter's unmodified device (K080923), there is no reason to expect that the performance would be different, but most of the performance evaluation tests done for the unmodified device were repeated to confirm that performance still satisfies the acceptance criteria. For performance evaluation, the following summary table shows the tests that were repeated.
Additionally, the substantial equivalence report for comparison to OneTouch® Ultra® is provided in Section 11.

Dear Hyun Joon Oh:
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).
