Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study data:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided text details the performance of the FreeStyle Precision Neo Blood Glucose Monitoring System against specific criteria. The key performance metrics revolve around the accuracy of glucose measurements.

Acceptance Criteria for Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems (as per ISO 15197:2003, which is commonly referenced for such devices):

  • For glucose concentrations < 75 mg/dL (4.2 mmol/L): Minimum of 95% of results must be within ±15 mg/dL (±0.83 mmol/L) of the reference method.
  • For glucose concentrations ≥ 75 mg/dL (4.2 mmol/L): Minimum of 95% of results must be within ±20% of the reference method.
  • Overall: 99% of all individual glucose measurement results shall fall within zones A and B of the Consensus Error Grid (CEG) for type 1 diabetes.

Reported Device Performance (based on the provided text, specifically the self-testing accuracy study):

The document presents data in the following format:
A total of 152 lay users and 912 results were used for this study.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: A total of 152 lay users participated in the study, generating 912 results.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin. It indicates Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. is based in Alameda, CA, and the legal manufacturer is Abbott Diabetes Care Ltd. in the UK, but this doesn't specify where the clinical study itself was conducted. The study is prospective, involving lay users performing self-testing.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

The document does not provide details on the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing ground truth. Blood glucose monitoring system studies typically use a laboratory reference method (e.g., YSI analyzer) as the ground truth, calibrated and operated by trained laboratory personnel, rather than clinical experts for ground truth establishment.

4. Adjudication Method

The document does not mention any adjudication method for the test set. For blood glucose measurements, where the ground truth is typically a precise laboratory reference method, adjudication by multiple human experts is generally not performed.

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

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is more common for diagnostic imaging devices where human interpretation is a key component, comparing human readers with and without AI assistance. This device is a quantitative measurement system for self-testing, so the performance is assessed against a reference measurement, not human interpretation.

6. Standalone Performance Study

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The precision and accuracy data presented (e.g., the table under point 1) directly reflect the algorithm's (device's) performance compared to a reference method, without human-in-the-loop assistance influencing the measurement outcome. Lay users operated the device as intended for self-testing, but their interaction is part of the intended use, not "human-in-the-loop" for interpretation or decision-making beyond operating the device.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for the accuracy study is a reference method, likely a laboratory analyzer (e.g., YSI glucose analyzer), which is the standard for blood glucose measurement studies. This is inferred from the context of "Reference Range (mg/dL)" in the performance table.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not specify a separate training set size or methodology. For in vitro diagnostic devices like blood glucose meters, the development process involves extensive internal validation and verification using various samples, but these are typically not referred to as "training sets" in the same way machine learning models are. The reported performance data is from a clinical study for validation.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As no specific "training set" is mentioned in the context of typical machine learning model training, the document does not describe how ground truth for such a set was established. Device development and calibration involve rigorous testing against reference methods using known glucose concentrations.

The FreeStyle Precision Neo Meter is for the quantitative measurement of glucose in capillary whole blood samples. The FreeStyle Precision Neo Meter, in conjunction with the FreeStyle Precision Neo Blood Glucose Test Strips, works on the principal of amperometric technology, measuring glucose by its reaction with Glucose Dehydrogenase (GDH) in blood samples or control solutions through electrical mediation.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Principles of Operation:

The FreeStyle Precision Neo Meter (in conjunction with blood glucose test strips) utilizes amperometric technology to quantitatively measure the glucose concentration in capillary whole blood samples from the fingertip and in MediSense Glucose & Ketone Control Solutions.

The FreeStyle Precision Neo Meter measures glucose electrically. The glucose biosensor is capable of recognising the glucose present in whole blood or control solutions by virtue of the glucose specificity of the enzyme GDH present on the glucose test strip. The electrons liberated by this reaction are transferred via a co-factor and mediator to the meter where they are read as a small electrical current. The size of the current is directly proportional to the level of the glucose in the applied sample.

The apply blood symbol is displayed for the user to apply blood to the test strip until the meter begins the test. The meter detects trigger current from the test strip when enough blood has covered the strip electrodes and the test countdown will start. When the countdown is complete a test result is displayed on the meter screen. The unit of measure displayed on the meter screen is fixed in mg/dL and cannot be modified by the user.

Substantial Equivalence:

The FreeStyle Precision Neo Blood Glucose Monitoring System is substantially equivalent to the predicate, which was cleared by the Agency on April 16, 2009, to market under K083223: ReliOn Ultima Blood Glucose Monitoring System. The results obtained from performance studies and clinical studies demonstrate that the FreeStyle Precision Neo Blood Glucose Monitoring System is safe and effective for its intended use and technological characteristics, and therefore, substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K083223).

(a)
Identification. A glucose test system is a device intended to measure glucose quantitatively in blood and other body fluids. Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, and idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is solely intended for use as a drink to test glucose tolerance, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.
