The ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose in whole blood. It is intended for use by people with diabetes mellitus in the home as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is not intended for use in the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus and is not intended for use on neonates (newborn children).
The ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System is specifically indicated for the quantitative measurement of glucose in whole blood samples obtained from the finger, forearm, upper arm and the thigh.
The ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System measures the amount of glucose in capillary whole blood. When whole blood is applied to the ATLAST Test Strip, reagents on the Test Strip react with the blood and a color is formed, the intensity of which is measured by the ATLAST System. The ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of the following components: (1) a reflectance photometer which incorporates a lancing device ("ATLAST System"), (2) glucose reagent test strips ("ATLAST Test Strips") and calibration chip, and (3) sterile lancets ("ATLAST Lancets").
The Amira Medical ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System is a medical device intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in whole blood for individuals with diabetes mellitus.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample size for the "multi-center, subject controlled clinical study."
- Data Provenance: The data was collected through a "multi-center, subject controlled clinical study." This indicates a prospective study where participants were actively recruited and data was collected specifically for the study. The country of origin is not explicitly stated, but the submission is to the US FDA, implying US-based or internationally recognized standards.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
- The document implies that a "laboratory reference method for measuring blood glucose levels" was used to establish ground truth.
- It does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications for performing this reference method. It can be inferred that these would be licensed clinical laboratory professionals following standard laboratory procedures.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- No explicit adjudication method is mentioned for reconciling discrepancies in the ground truth. The ground truth was established by a "laboratory reference method," which typically implies a single, highly accurate measurement serving as the definitive value.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance:
- This device is a blood glucose monitoring system, not an imaging or diagnostic device that requires human "readers" or AI assistance in interpretation in the typical sense of an MRMC study.
- The study compared the device's performance when used by lay users (diabetic patients) versus trained technicians. This is a comparison of user groups rather than a human-AI comparison.
- Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study in the context of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance was not applicable and not performed.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done:
- The device is a standalone system. The "ATLAST System" measures glucose, and the results are directly displayed to the user.
- Bench/Laboratory testing was performed to evaluate the system in isolation, and the clinical study evaluated the system's performance both by lay users and trained technicians.
- While human interaction is required to obtain the blood sample and initiate the test, the measurement and calculation of glucose levels are performed solely by the device's internal algorithms. Therefore, a standalone performance evaluation of the "algorithm only" (as part of the finished device) was inherently performed.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.):
- The ground truth for the test set was established using a laboratory reference method for measuring blood glucose levels. This is considered a highly accurate and objective measure in clinical chemistry.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- The document does not provide information about a separate "training set" or its sample size. The description focuses on the performance testing carried out on the finished device. For a device like a blood glucose meter, the "training" (calibration) is typically done during the device's manufacturing and validation process, often using standardized solutions and internal quality control, not a separate clinical training set in the way AI algorithms are trained.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Since a separate "training set" as understood in AI/machine learning is not explicitly mentioned, the method for establishing its ground truth is also not described. Device calibration and internal validation would rely on established laboratory standards and methods for glucose concentration.

Intended Use/Indications
The ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose in whole blood. It is intended for use by people with diabetes mellitus in the home as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is not intended for use in the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus and is not intended for use on neonates. The ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System is specifically indicated for the quantitative measurement of glucose in whole blood samples obtained from the finger, forearm, upper arm and the thigh.
Device Description
The ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System measures the amount of glucose in capillary whole blood. When whole blood is applied to the ATLAST Test Strip, reagents on the Test Strip react with the blood and a color is formed, the intensity of which is measured by the ATLAST System. The ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of the following components: (1) a reflectance photometer which incorporates a lancing device ("ATLAST System"), (2) glucose reagent test strips ("ATLAST Test Strips") and calibration chip, and (3) sterile lancets ("ATLAST Lancets").
Principle of Operation
The user obtains a blood sample using the ATLAST System. A sterile lancet is inserted into the lancing component of the ATLAST System by inserting a sterile lancet into the sampler head and re-attaching it to the ATLAST System. The unit is cocked by pulling the cocking knob until it latches, then the user releases the knob. With the sampler head positioned firmly on the forearm, the user fully depresses the body of the unit which releases the lancet to pierce the skin. Immediately following the lancing action, the lancet is automatically retracted. A sliding motion is required to obtain an adequate blood sample. While maintaining the lancet and sampler head in position on the sample site, the body of the unit is depressed and released several times to draw blood from the incision point. After obtaining a sample, the user is ready to touch the test strip to the blood sample to begin the testing process.
The user inserts the test strip into the test strip holder of the ATLAST System and turns the ATLAST System on. The test strip is then brought to the lancing site and the user touches the capillary tip of the ATLAST Test Strip to the blood sample. Blood is drawn into the test strip by capillary action. The meter "beeps" when an adequate blood sample has been received and the testing sequence begins.
{2}------------------------------------------------
The glucose in the blood sample reacts with glucose oxidase to yield gluconic acid. This reaction is catalyzed by the peroxidase present in the test strip. The hydrogen peroxide formed then oxidizes the dye couple in the test strip. This reaction, which is catalyzed by the enzyme peroxidase, oxidizes the dye couple to form a dye that intensifies in color with increasing glucose concentrations. The color change on the reagent test strip pad is proportional to the concentration of the glucose present in the whole blood sample.
The user obtains blood glucose results in approximately 10-30 seconds, depending on glucose levels. The ATLAST System will "beep" when the test is complete and the blood glucose results will appear on the meter display.
Data Demonstrating Substantial Equivalence
Performance testing on the ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System demonstrated that the System meets or exceeds the performance requirements for the intended clinical use of the device. Laboratory/Bench Testing was conducted in accordance with FDA's draft guidance, Review Criteria for Assessment of Portable Blood Glucose Monitoring In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices Using Glucose Oxidase Methodology. The results demonstrated that the ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System satisfies all of its performance specifications, which are designed to ensure that the System is safe and effective for its intended use.
A multi-center, subject controlled clinical study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System when used by lay users with diabetes mellitus and by experienced technicians trained in blood glucose testing techniques. In addition, the ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System was compared to a predicate blood glucose monitoring system. Blood glucose results obtained with the ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System and predicate device were compared to results obtained using a laboratory reference method for measuring blood glucose levels.
The clinical data demonstrate that the performance of the ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System correlates well with the laboratory blood glucose reference test method. When the blood glucose test results were analyzed by the Error Grid Analysis of Clarke et al., the System provided results within the range of clinically acceptable accuracy. The data also demonstrate that the ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System's performance is substantially equivalent to that of a predicate device. The clinical data demonstrate that the ATLAST Blood Glucose Monitoring System performs equivalently in the hands of the diabetic lay user and when used by a trained technician.

Conclusion
.
Laboratory/Bench Testing and Clinical Correlation Studies demonstrate that the Labordvery/Bener February and Glucose Monitoring System is safe and effective for its intended use.
