Intended Use
The Accu-Chek Advantage Module is designed for testing glucose in whole blood by persons with diabetes or by health care professionals in the home or in health care facilities.
Device Description
The Accu-Chek Advantage Module is an in vitro device designed for measuring the concentration of glucose in whole blood, which is applied to the Accu-Chek Comfort Curve test strips. The test principle is: The enzyme glucose dehydrogenase converts the glucose in a blood sample to gluconolactone. This reaction liberates an electron that reacts with a coenzyme electron acceptor, the oxidized form of the mediator hexacyanoferrate (III), forming the reduced form of the mediator, hexacyanoferrate (II). The test strip employs the electrochemical principle of biamperometry. The meter applies a voltage between two identical electrodes, which causes the reduced mediator formed during the incubation period to be reconverted to an oxidized mediator. This generates a small current that is read by the meter.

No
The description details a standard electrochemical glucose meter and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is used for measuring glucose levels, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or prevent a disease.

Yes
The device measures glucose in whole blood to monitor a patient's diabetes, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical in vitro diagnostic device that measures glucose using electrochemical principles and test strips, indicating it is a hardware-based device, not software-only.

Yes, the Accu-Chek Advantage Module is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's "designed for testing glucose in whole blood." Testing substances in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose or monitor a condition is the core function of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details the electrochemical principle used to measure glucose in a blood sample, which is an in vitro process. It also mentions using "Accu-Chek Comfort Curve test strips," which are also IVD components.
  • Explicit Statement: The device description also explicitly states, "The Accu-Chek Advantage Module is an in vitro device..."

These points clearly indicate that the device is designed and used for testing biological samples in vitro to provide information about a person's health status (glucose levels in this case), which is the definition of an IVD.

§ 862.1345 Glucose test system.

(a)
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.(b)
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.
