Intended Use
The EASYGLUCO Blood Glucose Monitoring System is used for the quantitative measurement of glucose level in whole blood as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes management in the home and in clinical settings. EASYGLUCO Blood Monitoring System is for testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only). Testing sites include the traditional fingertip testing along with alternate site testing on the arm, palm, thigh and calf.
Device Story
EASYGLUCO Blood Glucose Monitoring System measures glucose concentration in whole blood samples. System utilizes disposable test strips containing electrodes; blood sample reacts with dehydrogenase glucose on strip, generating electrochemical signal; meter measures resulting electrical current to calculate and display glucose concentration. Device intended for use by patients at home or clinicians in clinical settings. Output provides quantitative glucose results to assist in diabetes management. Enables both traditional fingertip and alternate site testing.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence established via bench testing and comparison to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic system; electrochemical sensing principle using dehydrogenase glucose-reactive electrodes on test strips. Standalone meter device. No specific materials or software architecture details provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative blood glucose measurement in patients with diabetes to monitor management effectiveness. Suitable for home and clinical use. Supports fingertip and alternate site testing (arm, palm, thigh, calf).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A glucose test system is a device intended to measure glucose quantitatively in blood and other body fluids. Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, and idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is solely intended for use as a drink to test glucose tolerance, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

| Device Name: | Propriety Name: EASYGLUCO Blood Glucose Monitoring<br>System<br>Common Name: Blood Glucose Test System<br>Classification Name: Class II, 862.1345 Glucose Blood Tester |
| Predicate Device: | We claim substantial equivalence to the LifeScan, Inc.,<br>OneTouch® Ultra®. |
| Device<br>Description: | The EASYGLUCO Blood Glucose Monitoring System is an in<br>vitro diagnostic device designed for measuring the concentration of<br>glucose in whole blood, which is used with the EASYGLUCO<br>Test Strips.<br>The test principle is:<br>This device is an in vitro diagnostic product intended for the<br>measurement of glucose concentration in human blood. The<br>principle of the test relies upon a specific type of glucose in the<br>blood sample, the dehydrogenase glucose that reacts to electrodes<br>in the test strip. The test strip employs an electrochemical signal<br>generating an electrical current that will stimulate a chemical<br>reaction. This reaction is measured by the Meter and displayed as<br>your blood glucose result. |
| Intended Use: | The EASYGLUCO Blood Glucose Monitoring System is used for<br>the quantitative measurement of glucose level in whole blood as an |

EASYGLUCO Blood Monitoring<br>System is for testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use<br>only). Testing sites include the traditional fingertip testing along<br>with alternate site testing on the arm, palm, thigh and calf. |
| Comparison to<br>Predicate Device: | The US Diagnostics, Inc. EASYGLUCO Blood Glucose<br>Monitoring System is substantially equivalent to the other products<br>in commercial distribution intended for similar use. The most<br>notable, it is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed<br>item, the OneTouch® Ultra® by LifeScan, Inc. |
| Conclusion: | The EASYGLUCO Blood Glucose Monitoring System is<br>substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:<br>K024194 – LifeScan, Inc. OneTouch® Ultra®<br>K984261 – LifeScan, Inc. SURESTEP®<br>K021513 – Roche Diagnostics Corp. Accu-Chek Advantage |
