Intended Use

The LMT-3000 is a portable, battery-operated laser lancing device indicated for obtaining capillary blood samples in both institutional and at-home settings.

Device Description

The LMT-3000 lancing device uses a battery-powered laser beam (Er:YAG laser technology), which makes a tiny hole in the skin to obtain a capillary blood sample. The LMT-3000 ablates the epidermis and a thin layer of papillary dermis with minimal photothermal and photomechanical damage to the surrounding tissue.

AI/ML Overview

The LMT-3000 is a laser lancing device indicated for obtaining capillary blood samples. The device uses Er:YAG laser technology to ablate the epidermis and a thin layer of papillary dermis to create a small hole for blood collection.

Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria in a table format for performance metrics like "blood sample volume sufficient for analysis" or "pain reduction percentage." Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the comprehensive non-clinical performance tests and the conclusion drawn from the clinical study that there was "no significant difference in the glucose value between the needle lancet and laser lancet" and that "Some patients in the study reported less pain using the LMT-3000 compared to using the steel lancet."

Therefore, the reported device performance, in relation to implied acceptance, is:

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
BiocompatibilityPassed testing per ISO 10993-1
Electrical SafetyPassed testing per IEC 60601-1
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)Passed testing per IEC 60601-1-2
Laser SafetyPassed testing per IEC 60825-1
UsabilityPassed testing per IEC 60601-1-6 and IEC 62366
Performance in Home Health CarePassed testing per IEC 60601-1-11
Performance for surgical, cosmetic, therapeutic, diagnosticPassed testing per IEC 60601-2-22
Software Verification and ValidationPassed testing per IEC 62304/FDA Guidance
Cleaning and SterilizationPassed
Storage and TransportPassed
Clinical Equivalence in Glucose Value AcquisitionNo significant difference in glucose value detected compared to standard steel lancets.
Clinical Advantage in Pain Perception (not quantitative)Some patients reported less pain compared to steel lancets.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for the Test Set: 50 patients.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. The study was "randomized" and appears to be prospective as it involved two visits one week apart and a specific sampling protocol for the LMT-3000 and steel lancets.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

  • The document does not mention the number of experts used to establish ground truth or their specific qualifications for the clinical study. The "ground truth" for glucose values would typically be provided by a calibrated lab instrument, not expert consensus in this context.

4. Adjudication Method

  • The document does not describe any adjudication method for the test set.

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

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a lancing device for blood collection, not an imaging or diagnostic algorithm that typically involves human readers. The study compares the device's technical performance (glucose value acquisition) and patient experience (pain) directly against a predicate method.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

  • Yes, a standalone study was done in the sense that the LMT-3000's primary function (obtaining a blood sample and its impact on glucose measurement) was evaluated directly. There isn't an "algorithm" in the typical AI sense; rather, the device itself is the technology being evaluated for its performance characteristics. The clinical performance study directly assessed the device's ability to facilitate blood collection for glucose analysis.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For the clinical study, the ground truth for performance was primarily glucose values obtained from the collected blood samples. These values would typically be from laboratory analysis using a standard glucose meter or lab equipment. The patient's reported pain also served as a subjective outcome measure.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document does not mention a training set in the context of machine learning, as the LMT-3000 is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm requiring a training dataset. The non-clinical tests would have involved various samples of the device itself for validation.

9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established

  • As there's no mention of a traditional training set for an AI/ML algorithm, the concept of establishing ground truth for a training set does not apply directly here. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests (e.g., biocompatibility, electrical safety) is defined by the respective international standards (e.g., ISO 10993-1, IEC 60601-1) and their established pass/fail criteria.

  • . Software verification and validation testing per IEC 62304/FDA Guidance
  • Cleaning and Sterilization Testing - pass
  • . Storage and Transport Testing - pass

6. Clinical Performance Data

To validate the performance, safety, and effectiveness of the LMT-3000 and to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device, a randomized study was conducted comparing the LMT-3000 to standard steel lancets.

A total of 50 patients were evaluated between two visits, one week apart, for both the LMT-3000 and steel lancets. The sampling was done with the right hand first and the left hand subsequently for all subjects. During the first visit, half (25) of 50 subjects were sampled with the needle lancets on the right hand and with laser lancet on left hand. Another half of 50 subjects were sampled with the laser lancet on the right hand and with the needle lancet on left hand. During the second visit, the same procedures were done in the opposite order.

Analysis on the resultant glucose values indicated no significant difference in the glucose value between the needle lancet and laser lancet. There were no dropouts from either arm of the study group.

Some patients in the study reported less pain using the LMT-3000 compared to using the steel lancet for obtaining blood samples on some occasions.

7. Statement of Substantial Equivalence

lt has been shown in this 510(k) submission that the differences, between the LMT-3000 device and the predicate device listed above, do not raise new types of questions regarding safety and effectiveness. Further, the LMT-3000 device utilizes the same type of technology as the predicate device. The LMT-3000, as designed and manufactured, is determined to be substantially equivalent to the above-listed predicate device.
