Intended Use
GlucoBalance™ Data Management Software is an optional accessory for use with Hypoguard blood glucose meters with data management capabilities. GlucoBalance transfers data from the meter's memory into a computer for enhanced data management. GlucoBalance is intended for use in home and clinical settings to assist people with diabetes and their health care professionals in review, analysis and evaluation of historical blood glucose test results to support diabetes management.
Device Description
The GlucoBalance Data Management Software is an optional accessory for use with Hypoguard blood glucose meters with data management capabilities. The subject device consists of a data transfer cable and software. The system allows the user to download blood glucose results from their glucose meter to their computer, maintain a history of their glucose test results, and convert them into graphs, charts and reports. It should be noted that the software does not recommend any medical treatment or medication dosage level.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on data transfer, storage, and basic visualization (graphs, charts, reports) of blood glucose data. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of these technologies. The software explicitly states it does not recommend medical treatment or medication dosage, which is a common application area for AI/ML in diabetes management.

No
The device is described as data management software that assists in the review, analysis, and evaluation of historical blood glucose results; it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition. The description explicitly states that the software "does not recommend any medical treatment or medication dosage level."

No
Explanation: The device is data management software that analyzes historical blood glucose test results. It does not perform a direct diagnostic function, as it explicitly states it "does not recommend any medical treatment or medication dosage level." It assists in the review, analysis, and evaluation of existing data.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a data transfer cable and software, and the performance studies include validation of the system's hardware (the data transfer cable).

Based on the provided information, the GlucoBalance™ Data Management Software is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The software's intended use is to manage and analyze data from a blood glucose meter. It assists in reviewing, analyzing, and evaluating historical blood glucose test results to support diabetes management. It explicitly states that it does not recommend any medical treatment or medication dosage level.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a data management tool, allowing users to download, store, and visualize blood glucose results.
  • Lack of Direct Diagnostic Function: An IVD is a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. GlucoBalance does not perform any tests on biological samples itself. It processes data generated by a separate IVD (the blood glucose meter).

While it's an accessory used in conjunction with an IVD (the blood glucose meter), the software itself is a data management tool and not 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.

Dear Dr. MacFarlane:

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 (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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
