The provided 510(k) summary does not contain any mention of AI, ML, or related concepts, and the device description is not available. The intended use and device type (quantitative measurement of glycated hemoglobin) do not inherently suggest the use of AI/ML.
No
The device measures glycated hemoglobin levels for monitoring glycemic control, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic intervention.
Yes
The device measures glycated hemoglobin levels to monitor glycemic control in people with diabetes, which is a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device measures glycated hemoglobin levels in whole blood samples, which requires a physical component to interact with the blood sample. This indicates it is not a software-only device.
Yes, based on the provided information, the AlcNow® test is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the test provides quantitative measurement of glycated hemoglobin levels in whole blood samples. This means the test is performed on a sample taken from the body (in vitro) to provide diagnostic information.
- Monitoring Glycemic Control: The purpose of measuring glycated hemoglobin is to monitor glycemic control in people with diabetes, which is a diagnostic and monitoring function.
The definition of an IVD generally involves tests performed on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, disease, or condition. The AlcNow® test fits this description perfectly.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The AlcNow® test provides quantitative measurement of glycated hemoglobin (%HbA1c, %A1C) levels in whole blood samples. The test is for home use and professional use for monitoring glycemic control in people with diabetes.

§ 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).

Trade/Device Name: A1cNow® Regulation Number: 21 CFR 864.7470 Regulation Name: Glycosylated Hemoglobin Assay Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: LCP Dated: December 10 2003 Received: December 11 2003
Dear Ms. Ammirati:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 23, 2003 regarding the Metrika, Inc AlcNow® for prescription and home use. The Indications for Use that accompanies the clearance letter was marked erroneously as "Prescription Use" only. A corrected Indication for Use form with both Prescription Use and Over the Counter use is included.
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 (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 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.
1
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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0484. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html
Sincerely vours.
