Device Description

Medisign® Blood Glucose Monitoring System measures the glucose in the fresh capillary whole blood sample by using a small electrical current produced by chemical reaction between glucose in the blood and glucose oxidase on the test strip. This current is proportionally converted to the amount of glucose in the blood sample to display as the blood glucose result. Glucose measurements are reported as plasma equivalents. Blood glucose results from test strips that are plasma-equivalent are approximately 11% higher than those obtained with whole-blood equivalent test strips.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes several Medisign and Smart Diabetes Bluetooth Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems, all under K152534. The submission claims substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K111456 Medisign® Blood Glucose Monitoring System) and includes performance testing of the modified device.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The text explicitly states that the modified devices aim to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device, implying that the performance of the modified device should align with that of the predicate. It then lists "Similarities" and "Differences" between the candidate device (the various Medisign and Smart Diabetes systems) and the predicate device (K111456). While it doesn't present a formal acceptance criteria table with numerical targets, it lists the characteristics that are considered "Same" as the predicate device.

Feature / Acceptance Criteria (Implied: Same as Predicate)Reported Device Performance (as stated in "Similarities")
Intended UseSame
EnzymeSame (Glucose Oxidase (Aspergillus Niger))
Test PrincipleSame (Electrochemical reaction)
Test SampleSame (Fresh capillary whole blood)
Electrode MaterialSame (Carbon)
Coding of Test StripSame (Auto coding)
CalibrationSame (Plasma equivalent)
Operating TemperatureSame (50 - 104°F)
Operating HumiditySame (10 - 90%RH)
Hematocrit RangeSame (30 - 55%)
Alternate Site Testing SiteSame (Palm, Forearm)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document mentions "verification tests were conducted" (page 16) but does not provide any specific details about the sample sizes used for these tests. There is also no explicit mention of data provenance (country of origin) or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective.

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)

For a blood glucose monitoring system, the "ground truth" is typically an established laboratory reference method (e.g., using a YSI glucose analyzer) rather than expert consensus on images or clinical assessments. The document does not mention the involvement of experts for establishing ground truth in the context of radiologists or similar clinical reviewers. The ground truth for glucose measurements would be provided by a highly accurate laboratory instrument.

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

Given that the device measures a quantitative value (glucose concentration) against an established reference method, an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1 (which are typically used for qualitative or subjective assessments in imaging or pathology) is not applicable or mentioned in the context of this device. The comparison would be a direct quantitative comparison between the device reading and the reference method reading.

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 type of study (MRMC, measuring improvement with AI assistance) is not relevant to a blood glucose monitoring system, which is a standalone diagnostic device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging tool. Therefore, no such study was done or reported here.

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

Yes, the performance testing described implicitly as "verification tests" (page 16) would be a standalone performance evaluation of the device (meter and test strip system) measuring glucose concentrations. The device itself (the algorithm within the meter) provides the result without human interpretation of raw data, beyond operating the device. While "algorithm only" implies a pure software evaluation, this would be the closest analogue for a medical device that produces a direct numerical output.

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

For a blood glucose monitoring system, the ground truth is established by a reference laboratory method for glucose measurement, typically a highly accurate and precise enzymatic method often run on a laboratory analyzer (e.g., YSI glucose analyzer). While not explicitly stated, this is the standard for validating such devices. The document mentions "Blood glucose results from test strips that are plasma-equivalent are approximately 11% higher than those obtained with whole-blood equivalent test strips," which further indicates a comparison to a standardized laboratory method that often reports plasma glucose.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document describes a 510(k) submission for modified devices, claiming substantial equivalence. It refers to "verification tests" for the modified device based on its similarity to a predicate device. No mention is made of a "training set" as would be used for machine learning. The device operates based on established electrochemical principles, not a learnable algorithm that requires training data in the AI sense.

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

As there is no mention of a training set in the context of an AI/machine learning model, this question is not applicable. The device's operation relies on chemical reactions and electrical current measurements, calibrated against reference glucose values derived from a laboratory method.
