Intended Use
Betachek Blood Glucose (Sugar) is a test intended to be used by non-diabetic individuals at home to estimate their fasting blood glucose (blood sugar) level from a drop of blood obtained from a finger stick. Any abnormal results should be verified by a medical professional, such as a physician, and confirmed with a quantitative, laboratory reference method. Only a trained medical professional can determine if an individual has diabetes. A test result within the normal range does not exclude the possibility that the individual has diabetes or pre-diabetes. Any individual who is concerned that he or she may have diabetes or pre-diabetes should seek the advice of a physician. Betachek Blood Glucose Test is not intended to be used for children or by individuals who are diabetic or pregnant. This test can not be used to screen or diagnose diabetes. It should not be used for children or by individuals who are diabetic or pregnant. This test is only intended for individual use at home. It is not for use as part of a screening program in a healthcare setting or any other setting.

No
The summary describes a simple reagent-based blood glucose test with no mention of AI or ML technology. The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical reaction and equivalence to a predicate device, not on algorithmic processing.

No
The device is described as a test to estimate fasting blood glucose levels and is explicitly stated as not being for screening or diagnosing diabetes. It does not treat or prevent any condition.

No

The device is explicitly stated as "not intended to be used for children or by individuals who are diabetic or pregnant" and "This test can not be used to screen or diagnose diabetes." It is meant for "non-diabetic individuals at home to estimate their fasting blood glucose level" for individual use and any abnormal results should be verified by a medical professional.

No

The device description explicitly states "Reagent test principle - glucose oxidase," indicating a chemical reagent-based test, which is a hardware component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that it is a "test intended to be used by non-diabetic individuals at home to estimate their fasting blood glucose (blood sugar) level from a drop of blood obtained from a finger stick." This involves testing a biological sample (blood) outside of the body to gain information about a physiological state (blood glucose level).
  • Device Description: The description mentions a "Reagent test principle - glucose oxidase." This indicates a chemical reaction is used to analyze the blood sample, which is characteristic of many IVD tests.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K943503; Chemcard Glucose Test) which is also a blood glucose test, further supports its classification as an IVD.

The fact that it's for home use by non-diabetic individuals and has limitations on its use (not for diagnosis, not for children, diabetics, or pregnant individuals) does not change its fundamental nature as a device used to perform a diagnostic test on a biological sample in vitro.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Betachek Blood Glucose Test has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate device and clinical evaluations demonstrate that any differences in their technological characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, Betachek Blood Glucose Test is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 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.
