Intended Use
The ForaCare GD20 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples (from the finger, palm, forearm and upper arm.). It is intended for use by a single person and should not be shared. The ForaCare GD20 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for self-testing use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control. It should not be used for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes, or for testing of neonates. Alternative site testing should be done only during steady-state times (when glucose is not changing rapidly). The ForaCare GD20 test strips are for use with the ForaCare GD20 meter to quantitatively measure glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from fingertips, palm, forearm and upper arm.
Device Story
ForaCare GD20 is an electrochemical biosensor-based blood glucose monitoring system. It processes fresh capillary whole blood samples via test strips to provide quantitative glucose measurements. Designed for home use by patients with diabetes; operated by the patient. Features include physical design changes and RS232 data transmission to the Fora Health Care System software. Healthcare providers use the transmitted data to assess diabetes control effectiveness. Benefits include convenient, accurate self-monitoring of blood glucose levels to aid in diabetes management.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evidence includes system accuracy and precision testing, a clinical accuracy study using capillary fingertip blood, and a consumer performance study. All studies met EN ISO 15197 and FDA guidance requirements. A human factors study validated the usability of the data transmission feature for lay users. Bench testing confirmed 100% accuracy of data transmission to the Fora Health Care System software. Software validation and cleaning/disinfection validation (for HBV) were also performed.
Technological Characteristics
Electrochemical biosensor technology using glucose dehydrogenase. System includes meter, test strips, and control solutions. Features RS232 connectivity for data transmission. Fixed measurement unit (mg/dL).
Indications for Use
Indicated for people with diabetes for home self-testing of blood glucose levels as an aid to monitor diabetes control. Suitable for fresh capillary whole blood from fingertips, palm, forearm, and upper arm. Contraindicated for neonates and for diagnosis or screening of diabetes.
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.
