    Intended Use

    The FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System is a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device with real time alarms capability indicated for the management of diabetes in persons age 2 and older. It is intended to replace blood glucose testing for diabetes treatment decisions, unless otherwise indicated.

    The System also detects trends and tracks patterns and aids in the detection of episodes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, facilitating both acute and long-term therapy adjustments. Interpretation of the System readings should be based on the glucose trends and several sequential readings over time.

    The System is also intended to autonomously communicate with digitally connected devices, including automated insulin dosing (AID) systems. The System can be used alone or in conjunction with these digitally connected devices for the purpose of managing diabetes.

    Device Description

    The FreeStyle Libre 3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (hereinafter also referred to as 'FSL3 System') and FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System (hereinafter also referred to as the 'FSL2 System') are integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) systems that provide continuous glucose measurements every minute to provide glucose levels, trends, and real-time alarms capability to aid in the management of diabetes. The FSL2 and FSL3 Systems also provide configurable alarms designed to warn the user of Low Glucose, High Glucose or Signal Loss. The user may make treatment decisions based in part on the Sensor glucose results provided by both Systems. The FSL2 and FSL3 Systems require a prescription and are intended for home use.

    The FSL3 System consists of the FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor and either the FreeStyle Libre 3 Reader or the FreeStyle Libre 3 App (iOS and Android) downloaded to a compatible smartphone as a primary display device. The FSL3 Reader and FSL3 App do not interact with each other.

    The FSL2 System consists of the FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor and either the FreeStyle Libre 2 Reader or the FreeStyle Libre 2 App (iOS and Android) downloaded to a compatible smartphone as a primary display device. The FSL2 Reader and FSL2 App do not interact with each other.

    Both the FSL2 and FSL3 Systems are compatible with the Libre Data Sharing API cleared in K223537. The display device of the connected FSL2 or FSL3 Systems, which directly receives the data from the Sensor, continues to serve as a primary display device for the glucose data and alarms.

    AI/ML Overview

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a detailed table of clinical acceptance criteria and specific numerical performance. However, it does state that "System accuracy was demonstrated to meet the iCGM special controls requirements per 21 CFR 862.1355." This regulation for Integrated Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems outlines performance standards.

    Based on the document, the following aspects were evaluated:

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
    Accuracy (Clinical)Met iCGM special controls requirements per 21 CFR 862.1355.
    SterilitySterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10^-6 achieved with minimum sterilization dose of 25 kGy, established by VDmax25 method and ISO 11137-1/11137-2.
    Shelf-Life, Packaging Integrity, ShippingSeal integrity, user accessibility, and device functionality met acceptance criteria after worst-case testing.
    Electrical SafetyCompliant with IEC 60601-1: 2005(r)2012, IEC 60601-1-6:2010+A1:2013, and IEC 60601-1-11:2015.
    Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)Compliant with IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC CISPR 11. Wireless coexistence testing confirmed functionality within acceptable limits in presence of common radiating electronic devices (AAMI TIR69, ANSI C63.27, FDA Guidance). Compliant with FCC Regulations Part 15.225 and Part 15.247, and FAA Advisory Circular RTCA DO-160.
    Mechanical EngineeringMet acceptance criteria for mechanical, electrical, and functional testing at system level and for individual Sensor Applicator components.
    BiocompatibilityDemonstrated biocompatibility per ISO10993-1 and FDA Guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1."
    Software Verification and ValidationMet acceptance criteria for executed protocols per IEC 62304 and FDA Guidance "Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices."
    CybersecurityCybersecurity risk management documentation analyzed confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, information, and software. Appropriate risk mitigation controls implemented and tested per October 2014 FDA Guidance.
    Human FactorsRisk analysis demonstrated design changes met usability requirements per ANSI/AAMI/IEC 62366, IEC 60601-1-6, and FDA Guidance "Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices."
    InteroperabilityIncorporated an approach for interoperability in alignment with FDA Guidance "Design Considerations and Pre-market Submission Recommendations for Interoperable Medical Devices."

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    The document does not explicitly state the sample size for clinical test sets. For the "Clinical Performance" section, it only mentions that "System accuracy was demonstrated to meet the iCGM special controls requirements per 21 CFR 862.1355." This often implies a clinical trial or study, but specific numbers are not provided in this 510(k) summary. The provenance of the data (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is also not detailed in this summary.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    This information is not provided in the document. For glucose monitoring systems, "ground truth" is typically established by laboratory reference methods (e.g., YSI glucose analyzer) rather than expert human interpretation.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    This information is not provided in the document.

    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 is not applicable to the FreeStyle Libre Continuous Glucose Monitoring System. This device is a standalone diagnostic tool that provides glucose readings directly to the user (or digitally connected devices), not a system designed to assist human readers in interpreting medical images or data. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human reader improvement with/without AI assistance would not be conducted for this type of device.

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

    Yes, the device is inherently designed to operate in a standalone manner (algorithm only) to provide glucose readings. The "Clinical Performance" section implicitly refers to this standalone performance when stating "System accuracy was demonstrated to meet the iCGM special controls requirements per 21 CFR 862.1355." The FSL3 System's glucose algorithm resides in the Sensor, and for FSL2, it resides in the Receiver (App or Reader), generating glucose values without human real-time intervention for each reading.

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

    For Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems, the ground truth for accuracy studies is typically established by laboratory reference methods, such as those using a YSI glucose analyzer, which provides highly accurate and precise blood glucose measurements. While not explicitly stated in this summary, this is standard practice for CGM device validation.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    The document does not provide information about the training set size. This 510(k) summary focuses on the substantial equivalence and performance of the final device, not the specifics of its development or algorithm training.

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

    This information is not provided in the document. Similar to the test set, it would typically involve comparison to highly accurate laboratory reference methods.
