Intended Use
The EASYGLUCO™ Monitoring System is used by individuals with diabetes. It is for the quantitative measurement of glucose levels in whole blood, as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes management in the home and in clinical settings.
Device Description
The EASYGLUCO™ Monitor is an in vitro diagnostic device designed for measuring the concentration of glucose in whole blood, which is used with the EASYGLUCO™ Test Strips. The test principle is: This device is an in vitro diagnostic product intended for the measurement of glucose concentration in human blood. The principle of the test relies upon a specific type of glucose in the blood sample, the dehydrogenase glucose that reacts to electrodes in the test strip. The test strip employs an electrochemical signal generating an electrical current that will stimulate a chemical reaction. This reaction is measured by the Meter and displayed as your blood glucose result.

No
The description details a standard electrochemical glucose meter and test strip system, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or other sections.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic device used for monitoring glucose levels, not for treating diabetes.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is for the "quantitative measurement of glucose levels in whole blood, as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes management." This indicates that it helps in assessing a physiological state (glucose levels) for health management, which is the definition of a diagnostic device. The "Device Description" also labels it "an in vitro diagnostic device."

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "in vitro diagnostic device designed for measuring the concentration of glucose in whole blood" and uses "EASYGLUCO™ Test Strips" and a "Meter" to measure an electrochemical signal. This indicates the device includes hardware components (meter, test strips) for the measurement process, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: It explicitly states it's for the "quantitative measurement of glucose levels in whole blood," which is a biological sample taken from the body. This measurement is used "as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes management," which is a diagnostic purpose.
  • Device Description: It directly labels the device as an "in vitro diagnostic device designed for measuring the concentration of glucose in whole blood." It also describes the test principle, which involves a chemical reaction with a blood sample on a test strip, a hallmark of in vitro diagnostics.

The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device is a medical device that is used to examine specimens, such as blood, tissue, or urine, taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The EASYGLUCO™ Monitoring System clearly fits this definition.

§ 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.
