Intended Use
The Sof-Tact Diabetes Management System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use (i.e. for external use only) for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood. The Sof-Tact System is for home (lay user) use. The Sof-Tact Diabetes Management System is specifically intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in whole blood samples obtained from the finger, forearm, upper arm and the base of the thumb.
Device Description
The Abbott Laboratories MediSense Sof-Tact™ Diabetes Management System for Blood Glucose Testing utilizes amperometric biosensor technology to generate a current. The size of the current is proportional to the amount of glucose present in the sample, providing a quantitative measure of glucose in whole blood and control solutions. The Sof-Tact Diabetes Management System integrates the process of blood collection from body sites including the forearm, upper arm and base of the thumb and glucose assay into a single operation by the user. A separate test port is available for blood collection glucose assay from the fingertip.
More Information

No
The description focuses on amperometric biosensor technology and does not mention AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an in vitro diagnostic device for quantitative measurement of glucose, not for treating or preventing disease.

Yes.
The device is intended for "in vitro diagnostic use" for the "quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood."

No

The device description explicitly mentions "amperometric biosensor technology" and the integration of "blood collection" and "glucose assay," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "The Sof-Tact Diabetes Management System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use (i.e. for external use only) for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood."
  • Nature of the Test: The device measures glucose in a biological sample (blood) outside of the body. This is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to provide a quantitative measurement of glucose, which is used for the diagnosis and management of diabetes.

The other sections of the document further support this by describing the technology used to analyze the blood sample and the intended use for monitoring blood glucose levels.

Summary of Performance Studies

The performance of the Sof-Tact Diabetes Management System was studied in the laboratory and in clinical settings by healthcare professionals and lay users. The studies demonstrated that lay users can obtain blood glucose that are substantially equivalent to the current methods for blood glucose measurements, which include the predicate devices listed above. Clinical evaluations indicate that under variable glycemic conditions, glucose difference between arm and finger was clinically insignificant as determined by Clarke Error Grid. Results of laboratory and clinical testing demonstrate that the performance of the Sof-Tact Diabetes Management System, when used according to the intended use stated above, is acceptable and comparable to the performance of the previously mentioned predicate devices for blood glucose testing. In addition, results of clinical performance testing demonstrate that trained operators and lay users obtain equivalent whole blood glucose results. The Sof-Tact arm glucose results at various post-prandial times up to 3 hours show no clinically significant difference from finger glucose results.
