Biolinq External Interferent Protocol

January 26, 2026 updated by: Biolinq Inc.

Acetaminophen Interferent Evaluation of the Biolinq MicroArray Intradermal Continuous Glucose Biowearable System

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the interference effect of acetaminophen (APAP) on the Biolinq MicroArray Intradermal Continuous Glucose Biowearable System during a single in-clinic day on Day 3 of the sensor wear period.

All participants will be asked to wear the Biolinq System and a commercial CGM comparator for three days while taking fingersticks on a commercial Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Meter. All participants will come back to the clinic on the third day of sensor wear for an in-clinic day which will include blood draws and fingersticks to compare glucose measurements to a Lab Analyzer. At the end of the in clinic day the subjects will have the sensors removed and then exit the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

General

  1. Current participation in another investigational study protocol. (If a subject has recently completed participation in another drug study, the subject must have completed that study at least 30 days prior to being enrolled in this study.) Note: Subjects will not be excluded if enrolled in another observational trial, wherein the subject is in the follow-up phase and no tests/procedures impacting the subject's health are required. Subjects will be excluded if they have been previously enrolled in this study.
  2. Work for, are family members with, or live with someone that works for the sponsor or competitor diabetes-related company (includes social media influencers or bloggers).

  5. Known allergy to medical grade adhesives, acrylic, latex, or isopropyl alcohol.
  6. Known contraindication to taking the In-Clinic recommended oral dose of APAP (e.g., cirrhosis, chronic heavy ethanol use, breast feeding).
  7. Have dermatological conditions that preclude wearing Biolinq Biowearables (e.g., extensive psoriasis, recent burns, severe sunburn, extensive eczema, extensive scarring, dermatitis herpetiformis, skin lesions, erythema, infection, or other conditions at the discretion of the investigator).
  8. For subjects of child-bearing potential, pregnant or not practicing an acceptable form of birth control during the study.

11. Required or scheduled to have diathermy, X-ray, MRI, or CT during study wear.

12. In the investigator's opinion, the subject has a history of concomitant medical condition that could interfere with the study participation or present a risk to the safety and welfare of the subject or study staff. Such historical conditions include but are not limited to:

  1. Syncope in past 6 months
  2. Severe hypoglycemia (loss of consciousness, seizure, or emergency medical technician assistance within the past 6 months)
  3. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) requiring hospital admission in the past 6 months
  4. Coagulopathy
  5. Chronic infectious disease (e.g., HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B or C)
  6. End stage renal disease and currently managed by dialysis or anticipating initiating dialysis during the study wear period
  7. History of congestive heart failure

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Samples Where YSI Values Matched the Biolinq Sensor's Color During the First Hour Post Acetaminophen (APAP) Intake.
Time Frame: First hour post Acetaminophen (APAP) intake
This measures how often (percentage), within the first hour after taking APAP, the Biolinq sensor's color matches the YSI blood sugar readings. BLUE on the sensor means a glucose level between 70 and 180 mg/dL, which matches YSI values from 55 to 207 mg/dL. YELLOW means a sensor reading between 181 and 400 mg/dL, matching YSI values from 154 to 460 mg/dL.
First hour post Acetaminophen (APAP) intake

Other Outcome Measures

Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Device Effects
Time Frame: 3 days
