Performance Characteristics Clinical Study Overview Performance of the FreeStyle Libre Pro Flash Glucose Monitoring System (the System) was evaluated in a clinical study. The study was conducted in 4 centers; a total of 72 subjects with diabetes (81.9% Type 1, 18.1% Type 2) aged eighteen and older were included in the study; all subjects required insulin administration either by an insulin pump or via multiple daily injections to manage their diabetes.

Agreement with GM Glucose Levels The accuracy of GM versus YSI reference was also assessed by calculating the percentage of System readings that were within 15%, 20%, 30% and 40% for reference values 80 mg/dL and above, and 15 mg/dL, 20 mg/dL, 30 mg/dL and 40 mg/dL for values below 80 mg/dL when glucose levels are assigned using the GM readings.

Agreement on Day 1 against YSI Reference The accuracy of GM versus YSI reference on the first day of sensor wear was assessed by calculating the percentage of System readings that were within 15%, 20%, 30% and 40% for reference values 80 mg/dL and above, and 15 mg/dL, 20 mg/dL, 30 mg/dL and 40 mg/dL for values below 80 mg/dL by hourly intervals.
Page 51
Overall Accuracy against YSI Reference Accuracy was measured by comparing the absolute relative difference between the System and reference YSI glucose values. The absolute relative difference measures the level of disagreement between the System and the reference value, but does not tell you whether the System glucose value was, on average, higher or lower than the reference glucose value.

Concurrence of System and Reference (YSI vs. GM) The percentage of concurring glucose values (YSI vs. GM) in each glucose reference range is presented for each YSI range in Table 7. For example, when the YSI glucose results are within the 81 to 120 mg/dL range, you can expect the GM values were less than 40 mg/dL 0.2% of the time, between 40 and 60 mg/dL 1.8% of the time, between 61 and 80 mg/dL 9.0% of the time, between 81 and 120 mg/dL 61.4% of the time, between 121 and 160 mg/dL 26.7% of the time, between 161...

Table 9 displays the concurrence between the GM and YSI reference glucose when GM reads ‘HI’ . For example, when GM reads ‘HI’ you can expect that YSI glucose values were less than 200 mg/dL 0.0% of the time, between 200 and 300 mg/dL 0.0% of the time, between 301 and 400 mg/dL 0.0% of the time, between 401 and 500 mg/dL 100% of the time, and above 500 mg/dL 0.0% of the time.

Accuracy by Day of Wear The sensor can be worn for up to 14 days. To show sensor performance over time, the absolute relative difference between the System and reference YSI glucose and capillary blood glucose values (BG) over the 14 day wear is presented in Table 10 and Table 11. The accuracy of GM versus YSI reference and BG reference was assessed by calculating the percentage of System readings that were within 15%, 20%, 30% and 40% for reference values 80 mg/dL and above, and 15 mg/dL, 20 mg/dL, 30 mg/dL and 40 mg/dL for values below 80 mg/dL.

System Glucose Availability The System is designed to generate a GM value every 15 minutes throughout the sensor wear time. Overall, 202 sensors were inserted. 167 sensors produced glucose readings and are included in the analysis. There were 35 sensors that failed at insertion (i.e. no glucose reading generated) and are not included in the analysis. There were 62.5% of primary sensors that worked for 14 days.
Page 66
Precision Precision of the System was evaluated by comparing the results from two separate sensors worn on the same subject at the same time. Data from two sensors worn at the same time for 72 subjects provided 49,806 pairs of GM measurements. The mean PARD during the study was 8.6% with a coefficient of variation of 6.1%.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the System is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the System should be observed to verify normal operation.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the System The System is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the System can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the System as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
