DBLG2, a mobile application with algorithm technology, is intended for use with compatible integrated continuous glucose monitors (iCGM) and alternate controller enabled (ACE) insulin infusion pumps to automatically increase, decrease, and suspend delivery of basal insulin based on iCGM readings and predicted glucose values. It can also deliver correction boluses when glucose values are predicted to exceed a predefined threshold. To do this, the DBLG2 software takes into account the patient's profile, glycemia (current and predicted), announced meals and physical activities.
DBLG2 is intended for the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus in persons 12 years of age and greater.
DBLG2 is intended for single patient use.
DBLG2 is Rx - For Prescription Use Only.
Diabeloop DBLG2 is an Android application installed on patient personal mobile phone, intended for managing glucose levels in people with type 1 diabetes, using a hybrid closed loop approach (automated insulin delivery). It is designed to be connected with a compatible Automated Controller Enabled (ACE) insulin pump and integrated Continuous Glucose Monitors (iCGM).
DBLG2 has a regulation algorithm to automatically manage the patient's blood glucose level. It takes as input glycemia value received from the CGM, personal patient medical parameters and patient input related to meals and physical activities, and it calculates every 5 minutes the amount of insulin to deliver in order to keep the patient in the normoglycemia bounds. It sends this information to the pump that automatically delivers this quantity of insulin.
The software can ask the pump to deliver:
- A meal bolus
- A correction bolus (small amount of insulin)
- A basal rate over a given period of time.
The software can also ask the patient to take a calculated amount of carbohydrates if the system determines that the patient would go into hypoglycemia even if the insulin basal rate is brought down to zero.
DBLG2 acts mostly by modulating the basal rate of insulin delivery, but in some cases can deliver, automatically, correction boluses. It includes a patient-confirmed meal bolus calculator that simplifies meal dosing by allowing the patient to enter their meal carbohydrate amount while the system retrieves the patient's personalized insulin dosing parameters from their profile. The system calculates and displays a recommended meal bolus dose, which the patient must review and confirm before delivery is initiated.
In addition, DBLG2 has a self-learning module that applies improvements to the patient's algorithm parameters, based on estimated glycemia history and insulin delivery quantities, from the patient's history.
DBLG2 is designed to be secure, with by-design and structural security mechanisms that prevent from both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia:
-
Hypoglycemia: by detecting an existing or upcoming hypoglycemia:
- The algorithm cuts down insulin delivery if a risk of hypoglycemia exists within the next fifteen minutes, the system will ask the user to take carbohydrates (by an alert).
- If the patient is in hypoglycemia below 55mg/dL (= 3.1 mmol/L), an alarm is triggered.
-
Hyperglycemia: the algorithm orders the delivery of insulin correction bolus to reduce the glycemia.
The software also guarantees patient's safety by returning to the pre-programmed basal pattern if the automatic regulation cannot be done for any reason (including loss of communication with the CGM or pump) or if the patient wishes to return to manual control by stopping the automatic regulation.
The algorithm includes appropriate alerts/alarms in case of any malfunction of one of the components.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for Diabeloop DBLG2:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document explicitly states that the DBLG2 software's clinical performance has been demonstrated through "consistent results in 6 prospective clinical trials." While specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum Time in Range percentage, maximum hypoglycemia duration) are not clearly detailed in the provided text as a formal table of acceptance criteria, the document implies that the device is deemed safe and effective based on improvements in several glycemic outcomes compared to current treatment or a predicate device.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (DBLG2) |
|---|---|
| Improved Glycemic Outcomes | Demonstrated "various improvements in glycemic outcomes" including: |
| - Time in Range (TIR) 70-180 mg/dL | Improved |
| - Time in Hypoglycemia | Improved |
| - Time in Hyperglycemia | Improved |
| - Mean Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) value | Improved |
| - HbA1c | Improved |
| - Occurrence of severe metabolic episodes | Improved |
| User Satisfaction | High satisfaction reported in various studies |
| Safety and Effectiveness for Intended Users/Uses | Human factors and clinical validation demonstrated that Diabeloop software performed as designed and intended for the intended users, uses, and use environments. |
| Substantial Equivalence to Predicate | "DBLG2 software is substantially equivalent to the predicate Tidepool Loop cleared in K203689. The differences... do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Test Set Description: The clinical performance is supported by "6 prospective clinical trials."
- Sample Size:
- Adults: Total of 15,325 patient-weeks of data collected.
- Adolescents (with T1D): Total of 1,594 patient-weeks of data collected.
- Data Provenance: The trials were "prospective clinical trials." The provided text doesn't explicitly state the country of origin for the data collection, but the submitter is based in Grenoble, France, which suggests these studies could have been conducted in Europe or internationally.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
The document does not provide details on the number of experts used or their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience") for establishing ground truth within the clinical trials. The phrase "ground truth" generally refers to definitive, objectively measured outcomes. For a glycemic control system, the primary ground truth would be the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data itself, along with lab-measured HbA1c, and recorded hypoglycemic/hyperglycemic events, which are direct physiological measurements rather than expert interpretations.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
The document does not specify any adjudication method (like 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set. Given the nature of objective physiological measurements (CGM, HbA1c), manual adjudication of "ground truth" by multiple experts is less common than in, for example, image interpretation studies. The "ground truth" is largely the direct physiological data collected.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. MRMC studies are typically relevant for diagnostic aids where human readers interpret medical images or data, and the AI's assistance is being evaluated regarding its impact on their diagnostic accuracy. This device is an automated glycemic controller, not a diagnostic interpretation tool, so an MRMC study is not applicable. Therefore, there is no mention of an effect size for human reader improvement with AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) was Done:
Yes, the studies evaluate the performance of the DBLG2 software, which is an "algorithm technology" designed to "automatically increase, decrease, and suspend delivery of basal insulin" and "deliver correction boluses." While it integrates with user input (meal announcements, physical activities) and requires patient confirmation for meal boluses, the core "automatic regulation" of insulin delivery based on CGM readings and predictions represents its standalone algorithmic performance within the hybrid closed-loop system. The clinical trials assess the overall system performance, which inherently includes the algorithm's performance without constant human override of every automated decision.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth used is primarily physiological outcomes data, specifically:
- Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) values, from which Time in Range (TIR), time in hypoglycemia, time in hyperglycemia, and mean CGM values are derived.
- HbA1c measurements.
- Documented occurrence of severe metabolic episodes.
- Patient feedback on satisfaction.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the training set for the DBLG2 algorithm. The provided information focuses on the data used for clinical validation/testing. The DBLG2 system also includes a "self-learning module that applies improvements to the patient's algorithm parameters, based on estimated glycemia history and insulin delivery quantities, from the patient's history," which implies ongoing, personalized "training" within each patient's use. However, the initial development and training data for the core algorithm are not detailed here.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
The document does not detail how the ground truth for the training set was established. Given the nature of the device, it is highly likely that for the initial algorithm development and training, retrospective or simulated physiological data, potentially from a variety of sources (e.g., historical patient data, simulated diabetes models), would have been used. The "self-learning module" uses the patient's own glycemia history and insulin delivery quantities to refine parameters, establishing its internal "ground truth" from these real-time individual patient data points.

Dated: April 3, 2025
Received: April 14, 2025
Dear Erik Huneker:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
FDA's substantial equivalence determination also included the review and clearance of your Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP). Under section 515C(b)(1) of the Act, a new premarket notification is not required for a change to a device cleared under section 510(k) of the Act, if such change is consistent with an established PCCP granted pursuant to section 515C(b)(2) of the Act.

- DBLG2 is Rx - For Prescription Use Only.
Contraindications
- DBLG2 should not be used by anyone who is unable to notice alerts, alarms, and reminders because of physical limitations, such as severe uncorrected hearing impairment or severe uncorrected problems of visual acuity.
- DBLG2 should not be used by anyone who is unwilling or unable to follow the instructions for use.
- DBLG2 should not be used by anyone that is unable to maintain contact with their healthcare provider.
- DBLG2 should not be used by patients suffering from a serious illness or undergoing treatment that might significantly impair diabetes physiology (e.g. irregular treatment by steroids) and which might interfere with the medical device
- DBLG2 should not be used by patients receiving a total daily dose of insulin lower than 8 units.
- DBLG2 should not be used by patients using any insulin that is not 100U/mL rapid-acting insulin analog.
MR Unsafe: DBLG2 should not be used during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) scan, or high-frequency electrical heat (diathermy) treatment. Components of the DBLG2 system may not have been tested in magnetic fields and heat could damage the compatible iCGM or ACE pump being used with DBLG2 and prevent accurate sensor glucose readings or accurate insulin delivery. This could result in overdelivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to low or high blood glucose. Please follow Healthcare Provider instructions and refer to the individual component manuals for more information.
Clinical Warnings:
The safety and effectiveness of the DBLG2 System have not been tested or approved for the following categories of people:
- Patients with type 2 diabetes
- Patients with highly unstable diabetes
- Patients with gestational diabetes
- Pregnant women with type 1 diabetes
- Patients whose pancreas has been removed or is not functioning altogether
- Patients with severely altered renal function (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min)
- Patients with a decreased feeling of hypoglycemia symptoms
- Patients with islet/pancreas transplants
- Patients on dialysis

9.5. Cybersecurity
A cybersecurity analysis was performed for Diabeloop DBLG2 using FDA guidance, Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices. DBLG2 provided a software bill of materials, which provided details on all software used in the device. This included all manufacturer-developed, commercially licensed, open source, and off-the-shelf software components, along with an identification of the hardware runtime environment in which each resides, with relevant version and/or model information, as well as details on whether each component was actively supported by its manufacturer or legacy licensed. In addition, results of internal testing and third-party penetration testing, using existing devices and configurations, were provided.
10. Clinical Testing
The clinical development strategy to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Diabeloop Software incorporated prospective clinical trials conducted according to ISO:14155 and ICH E6 Good Clinical Practices, along with real-world data to address specific questions.
Collectively, the results of multiple prospective clinical trials evaluating the performance of the Diabeloop software demonstrate its safety and effectiveness over the entire intended population (in terms of age, sex, baseline glucose control, and previous treatment), in real-world settings and with long-term follow-up. With a total of 15,325 effective patient-weeks collected in adults and 1,594 in adolescents with T1D, this clinical data supports substantial equivalence to the predicate device which presented 2,080 adult patient-weeks and 2,470 pediatric (6-18 years) patient-weeks of device exposure. The results of the prospective clinical trials conducted by Diabeloop highlight various improvements in glycemic outcomes, including Time in Range (TIR) 70-180 mg/dL, time in hypoglycemia, time in hyperglycemia, mean Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) value, HbA1c, and occurrence of severe metabolic episodes. High satisfaction was also reported in the various studies. Additionally, the real-world data presented addresses specific questions, such as the applicability of clinical data collected with various software versions and the device's performance when using specific operating modes and customizable settings, with different types of insulin, for patients with high total daily insulin doses and varied meal declaration habits.
11. Conclusion
DBLG2 software is substantially equivalent to the predicate Tidepool Loop cleared in K203689. The differences, summarized in this submission, do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. The performance of the device is supported by Diabeloop's design control process which included non-clinical testing and risk management activities.
The non-clinical and clinical performance data described above supports also the determination of substantial equivalence. Human factors and clinical validation demonstrated that Diabeloop software performed as designed and intended for the intended users, uses, and use environments.
The device meets all Special Controls for this product type as required by 21 CFR 862.1356 for interoperable Automated Glycemic Controllers, Product Code QJI.
