The above named test systems are for in vitro diagnostic use with the prescription use BioScanner Plus (CardioChek PA) reflectance photometer.
The above named test systems are modified in this submission by the addition of a CardioChek ChekMate strip for use only with the prescription use analyzer. CardioChek ChekMate strips are dry strips that mimic the use of the PTS PANELS test strips to check the CardioChek analyzer system optics, calibration and result handling algorithms. ChekMate strips should not be used as a substitute for liquid quality control materials. There is no change to any of the test strips in any of the above named systems.
The provided document describes the BioScanner Plus Glucose Test System and related PTS PANELS test systems. The primary focus of the performance characteristics section is on the CardioChek ChekMate strips, which are a modification to the system. While the document mentions several test systems and their intended uses (glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol), the performance data specifically addresses the ChekMate strips, which are used to check the analyzer's optics, calibration, and result handling. The information regarding the various analyte test systems largely defers to previously cleared strips and an unmodified analyzer, indicating their performance was established in prior submissions.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the CardioChek ChekMate Strips:
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (for CardioChek ChekMate Strips)
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Value Assignment: Range Appropriateness | Range (MAX – MIN) must be at least 5% R but not more than 10% R. | Not explicitly stated what the calculated ranges were, but the document states "The range is acceptable if it is at least 5% R, but not more than 10% R." |
| Value Assignment: Individual Strip Verification | Every ChekMate strip, when measured on a different CardioChek PA meter, must pass the established acceptable ranges. | The document states, "Every ChekMate strip is then measured...to verify that every strip will pass these ranges." Implies compliance. |
| Real-time Stability: Percent Recovery | Percent recovery ((Result - Result baseline) * 100) must be 100±20%. | All four lots at each of the two levels passed the criterion. |
| Re-use Stability: Failure Rate on First Test | Less than 2% failures on the first test. | The acceptance criteria was met for 1,253 uses. (Implying <2% failures). |
| Re-use Stability: Failure Rate on Re-test | No failures upon re-test, if a test result did not meet the range initially. | The acceptance criteria was met for 1,253 uses. (Implying no failures on re-test). |
Study Details for CardioChek ChekMate Strips:
-
Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Value Assignment Test Set: 45 strips evaluated on a single CardioChek PA meter, and then "Every ChekMate strip" (up to 400 pieces per lot) was measured on a different CardioChek PA meter.
- Real-time Stability Test Set: Four (4) lots of ChekMate strips.
- Re-use Stability Test Set: Individual ChekMate strips were tested for 1,253 uses across 13 CardioChek PA analyzers.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but typically such studies are conducted by the manufacturer (Polymer Technology Systems, Inc.) in the USA. The document does not specify if the data is retrospective or prospective, but stability studies are inherently prospective.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This device (CardioChek ChekMate strips) is a quality control/verification strip, not a diagnostic device that requires expert interpretation for ground truth. The "ground truth" for the ChekMate strips is based on instrument readings (% R values) against predefined acceptable ranges and stability curves. Therefore, no human experts were involved in establishing the ground truth for these strips.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. The evaluation criteria for the ChekMate strips are objective, numerical measurements of % R values and their adherence to predefined ranges and stability criteria. There is no need for expert adjudication.
-
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:
- No. This is an in vitro diagnostic device for quantitative measurements of analytes or, in the case of ChekMate strips, for verification of an instrument. It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would involve human readers or an MRMC study.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- The ChekMate strips themselves do not operate as an algorithm in isolation. They are physical strips used with an analyzer. The document describes the performance of the strips in verifying the analyzer's functions (optics, calibration, result handling algorithms). The analyzer itself (CardioChek PA) operates in a "standalone" fashion to generate a result from the strip, but the performance evaluation here is focused on the strips and their ability to consistently produce expected values within the analyzer. The algorithms referred to are integral to the analyzer's function, not a separate AI system.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the ChekMate strips, the ground truth is established through internal scientific and engineering processes, likely involving highly calibrated reference instruments and defined chemical/optical properties. The "acceptable ranges" and "baseline results" are the ground truth for testing these verification strips.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This document describes the performance of an in vitro diagnostic device (and its quality control strips). It does not involve machine learning or AI models that require a separate "training set."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of this device's performance evaluation.

7. Reason for 510(k):
Device Modification
8. Predicate Device Information
| Device Trade Name: | PTS PANELS CHOL+HDL+GLU Panel Test StripsPTS PANELS Metabolic Chemistry Panel Test Strips |
|---|---|
| Device Company: | Polymer Technology Systems, Inc. |
| 510(k) number: | K071507 and K070017 |
Comparison to Predicate:
Each system is identical to the unmodified system with the exception of the ChekMate strip.
9. Performance Characteristics
The strips for each system are identical to the previously cleared strips. The prescription use BioScanner Plus (CardioChek PA) analyzer is unmodified compared to the predicate device with the exception of the addition of the CardioChek ChekMate strips.
CardioChek ChekMate Strips Value Assignment:
Following assembly of a lot of ChekMate strips (up to 400 pieces per lot), 45 strips are evaluated on a single CardioChek PA meter. The four results (% R) for each analyzer (C1 RED, C2 RED, C1 GREEN) are recorded and the average, minimum and maximum results are determined and evaluated for meeting acceptable ranges.
The acceptable value ranges to be printed on the ChekMate range card are calculated as the minimum result minus 1% R (MIN) to the maximum result plus 1% R (MAX). This range (MAX – MIN) is then evaluated for appropriateness and acceptability. The range is acceptable if it is at least 5% R, but not more than 10% R. Every ChekMate strip is then measured on a different CardioChek PA meter to verify that every strip will pass these ranges.
Each package of ChekMate strips contains a range card which lists the lot specific expected ranges for each of the four measurements for Level 1 and Level 2.
{7}------------------------------------------------
CardioChek ChekMate Strips Stability:
Real-time Stability:
A real-time stability study was performed on four (4) lots of ChekMate Strips. Prior to study initiation, each lot was tested 30 times to establish the baseline result (Result paseline). The strips were tested at predetermined intervals throughout the one hundred and four week study. The percent recovery ((Result = Result paseline) * 100) was calculated. Percent recovery was required to be 100±20% to consider the test as passed. All four lots at each of the two levels passed the criterion.
The study supports an 18 month stability claim.
Re-use Stability:
The stability of ChekMate for repeated re-use was verified over a 9 month study using 13 CardioChek PA analyzers. Individual ChekMate strips were tested for 1,253 uses.
Each result was evaluated against the acceptable performance range published for the lot. If a test result did not meet this range, the test was to be repeated. The acceptance criteria for the re-use stability study was lower than 2% failures on the first test and no failures upon re-test. The acceptance criteria was met for 1,253 uses and the claimed re-use stability is 500 uses for the ChekMate strips.
10. Conclusion:
The performance characteristics above demonstrate that the modification of the above named test systems by the addition of the CardioChek ChekMate strips are substantially equivalent to the unmodified systems.
