Intended Use

The Dexcom G6 Glucose Program Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (Dexcom Glucose Program System) is a real time, continuous glucose monitoring device indicated for the management of diabetes in persons age 2 years and older.

The Dexcom Glucose Program System is intended to replace fingerstick blood glucose testing for diabetes treatment decisions for persons with diabetes who are not at significant risk of severe hypoglycemia. Interpretation of the Dexcom Glucose Program System results should be based on the glucose trends and sequential sensor readings over time. The Dexcom Glucose Program System also aids in the detection of episodes of hyperglycemia, facilitating long-term therapy adjustments.

The Dexcom Glucose Program System is also intended to autonomously communicate with digitally connected devices. The Dexcom Glucose Program System can be used alone or in conjunction with these digitally connected devices or services for the purpose of managing diabetes.

Device Description

The proposed Dexcom G6 Glucose Program Continuous Glucose Monitoring System consists of three main components: the sensor/applicator delivery system, transmitter, and mobile application (app). The sensor is a small and flexible wire inserted into subcutaneous tissue where it converts glucose into electrical current. The transmitter is connected to the sensor and is worn on the body. It samples the electrical current produced by the sensor and converts these measurements into glucose readings using an onboard algorithm. The transmitter sends glucose data to either the Android app (part of the predicate system) or iOS app (part of the proposed system). The app displays the current glucose reading (updated every 5 minutes) and glucose trends from the transmitter. The app alert users of important system conditions, when it enters an error state, or when it requires the user to enter information. The app also supports connectivity to Dexcom Share and the Follow mobile application.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Dexcom G6 Glucose Program Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. The submission, K193642, seeks to add an iOS mobile application to an existing Android-based system. As such, the performance data provided largely defers to the existing predicate and reference devices.

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

Overall Assessment:
The document does not contain explicit acceptance criteria tables with numerical targets, nor does it present detailed performance study results from a new test set for K193642. This is because the core technology (sensor, transmitter, underlying algorithm) and the intended use remain unchanged from the predicate device (K192787) and reference device (K182041). The current submission is primarily for the addition of an iOS application that functions identically to the already cleared Android application. Therefore, performance claims and acceptance are based on the previously cleared devices.

The document states: "All testing performed on the predicate device and reference device in accordance with special controls for integrated continuous glucose monitors remain applicable." and "Therefore, performance testing and software verification and validation testing completed for the predicate device (K192787) remain applicable."

Given this, I will extract information related to what would be the basis for acceptance for such a device, and explicitly note where the information is not present in this specific submission document as a new study.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

As noted, this document (K193642) does not present a new table of acceptance criteria with numerical targets and corresponding performance data from a new study specific to the iOS app's glucose measurement accuracy. Instead, it relies on the predicate (K192787) and reference (K182041) devices for performance.

For a CGM system, typical acceptance criteria and performance metrics would include:

Metric (Hypothetical for CGM)Acceptance Criteria (Example)Reported Device Performance (Likely from K192787/K182041)Comments (Based on provided text)
Accuracy (MARD)Overall MARD < 10%Not explicitly reported in K193642The document states that performance testing completed for the predicate device (K192787) remains applicable. The MARD (Mean Absolute Relative Difference) is the primary metric for CGM accuracy. The previous submissions would have detailed this.
Accuracy (Clark Error Grid)>95% of points in Zones A+BNot explicitly reported in K193642Similar to MARD, this is a standard accuracy metric for CGM. Performance data for the predicate devices would have included this.
Hypoglycemic Detection AccuracySensitivity/Specificity > X% for low glucoseNot explicitly reported in K193642Critical for safety, especially given the "replace fingerstick" indication. Data from predicate submissions would cover this.
Hyperglycemic Detection AccuracySensitivity/Specificity > Y% for high glucoseNot explicitly reported in K193642Important for therapy adjustments. Data from predicate submissions would cover this.
Sensor Wear Time (Usability/Reliability)Consistent performance over 10-day wear period"updated every 5 minutes" (implied continuous)The device's continuous monitoring and 10-day wear are fundamental, but specific metrics like sensor failures or premature removals are not detailed here for this specific submission. This would have been part of the original G6 clearance.
Software Functionality (iOS App)All specified features (display, alerts, connectivity) function correctly and identically to Android app.Software testing completed to ensure all requirements are fulfilled.The core of this submission is validating the iOS app. The document confirms software testing was done to ensure the iOS app meets its requirements and functions similarly to the Android app. No specific detailed performance metrics for the iOS app's new software verification are presented beyond this general statement.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for this specific submission (K193642) regarding new clinical performance data. The submission relies on the data from the predicate (K192787) and reference (K182041) devices. These previous submissions would have contained the sample sizes for their clinical studies.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated for this specific submission. Given Dexcom's nature, previous studies would likely be prospective clinical trials conducted with human subjects. The country of origin for previous studies is not specified in this document, but typically for a US FDA submission, significant clinical data would either be from the US or internationally recognized clinical trials. It implies that data is prospective as it's from clinical trials for performance verification.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

This document does not describe the establishment of a "ground truth" using human experts for image or signal interpretation, as it's a CGM device, not an AI diagnostic imaging algorithm. For CGM devices, the ground truth is typically established by laboratory reference methods for blood glucose, not expert consensus. These methods are highly accurate and standardized (e.g., YSI instrument measurements).


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable in the context of a CGM device performing direct physiological measurements against a reference lab method. Adjudication (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is typically used in studies where human readers are interpreting complex data (like medical images) and their opinions need to be reconciled to form a ground truth.


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

  • Was it done? No, an MRMC study was not done. MRMC studies are relevant for evaluating the impact of AI on human reader performance for tasks involving interpretation (e.g., radiology). This is a continuous glucose monitor; its function is to measure glucose, not to assist human interpretation in the way an AI would.
  • Effect Size of Human Improvement: Not applicable, as no MRMC study was performed.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Performance

  • Was it done? Yes, the core performance of the Dexcom G6 system (sensor, transmitter, and onboard algorithm) is evaluated in a standalone manner against laboratory reference methods. The system autonomously measures and processes glucose data.
  • Details: While K193642 itself doesn't present new standalone performance data, it explicitly states that the previous standalone performance testing for the predicate (K192787) and reference (K182041) devices remains applicable. The device "samples the electrical current produced by the sensor and converts these measurements into glucose readings using an onboard algorithm." This "onboard algorithm" is the standalone component, and its accuracy is assessed by comparing its output directly to reference glucose values.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for CGM devices is established by laboratory reference blood glucose measurements. These are highly accurate measurements from a venipuncture blood sample, typically performed in a clinical setting using a YSI glucose analyzer or similar highly accurate laboratory method. This is a form of "outcomes data" or "pathology" in the sense of a gold standard for a physiological measurement.


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not explicitly stated in K193642. The G6 system's core algorithm was likely developed and trained using extensive datasets from previous clinical studies and internal data. The training set size for the original G6 algorithm (from predicate/reference devices) would have been substantial, but this specific submission does not provide those details. Since the algorithm itself is not being fundamentally changed, new training is not the focus of this 510(k).

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not explicitly stated in K193642. For the development and training of the original G6 algorithm (from predicate/reference devices), the ground truth for the training set would have also been established using laboratory reference blood glucose measurements, similar to the test set ground truth. These measurements would be collected concurrently with the sensor readings over a long period from a diverse group of individuals to train the algorithm to accurately translate interstitial fluid glucose signals into blood glucose estimates.

{6}------------------------------------------------

1.8 TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The proposed Dexcom Glucose Program System is used to measure glucose values via amperometric measurement of current proportional to glucose concentration in interstitial fluid via a glucose oxidase chemical reaction. The proposed Dexcom Glucose Program System shares the same technological characteristics as the predicate device (K192787). The proposed Dexcom Glucose Program System adds an iOS-based app to the current/predicate CGM system's Android app capability.

1.9 SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE TESTING

The proposed Dexcom Glucose Program System was verified and validated according to Dexcom's internal design control process. All testing performed on the predicate device and reference device in accordance with special controls for integrated continuous glucose monitors remain applicable. The proposed system uses the same transmitter hardware and software requirements/design specifications as the predicate device. Therefore, performance testing and software verification and validation testing completed for the predicate device (K192787) remain applicable. Software testing was completed to ensure all requirements of the proposed iOS app are fulfilled.

1.10 CONCLUSION

The proposed Dexcom Glucose Program System is substantially equivalent to the predicate system as it shares the same intended use, indications for use, and technological characteristics. The difference between the proposed Dexcom Glucose Program System and the predicate device (cleared under K192787) is the addition of the iOS app, but the proposed app has the same functionality as the current Android app. Therefore, the proposed modification does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
