No
The provided 510(k) summary does not contain any keywords or descriptions related to AI or ML technology. The device measures glycated hemoglobin, which is a standard biochemical test.

No.
The device is a diagnostic test for monitoring glycemic control, not a treatment device.

Yes
Explanation: The device provides "quantitative measurement of the percent of glycated hemoglobin," which is used to "monitor glycemic control" in people with diabetes. This measurement helps in understanding and managing a health condition, thus serving a diagnostic purpose.

No

The description explicitly states the device measures glycated hemoglobin in blood samples, which requires a physical component to interact with the blood. This is not a software-only function.

Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the test provides a quantitative measurement of a substance (glycated hemoglobin) in a biological sample (whole blood). This is a core characteristic of an IVD.
  • Sample Type: The test uses "fresh capillary or venous whole blood samples," which are biological specimens taken from the human body. IVDs are designed to analyze such samples.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to "monitor glycemic control" in people with diabetes. This is a diagnostic purpose, providing information about a person's health status.

The definition of an IVD generally includes devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The AlcNow™ test clearly fits this description.

§ 864.7470 Glycosylated hemoglobin assay.

(a)
Identification. A glycosylated hemoglobin assay is a device used to measure the glycosylated hemoglobins (A1a , A1b , and A1c ) in a patient's blood by a column chromatographic procedure. Measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin is used to assess the level of control of a patient's diabetes and to determine the proper insulin dosage for a patient. Elevated levels of glycosylated hemoglobin indicate uncontrolled diabetes in a patient.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
