No
The summary describes a standard blood glucose monitoring system using a meter and test strips, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
The device is a diagnostic tool that measures glucose levels, providing information to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control, but it does not directly treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended "as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control," which implies providing information to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a meter, test strips, and control solution, which are hardware components.

Yes, the Ferrara Blood Glucose Monitoring System is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "Testing is done outside the body (In Vitro diagnostic use)."
  • Nature of the Test: The system measures glucose in blood samples outside the body, which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Purpose: It is used to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control, which is a diagnostic purpose.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Accuracy/method comparison testing was done comparing fingertip results obtained by clinicians with alternate site results (palm) results obtained by participants with diabetes. Testing included both men and women, with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, ages from 20 to 83 years. Tested blood glucose values encompassed the 45-328 mg/dL glucose range.

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

Accuracy/method comparison testing was done comparing fingertip results obtained by clinicians with alternate site results (palm) results obtained by participants with diabetes. Testing included both men and women, with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, ages from 20 to 83 years. Tested blood glucose values encompassed the 45-328 mg/dL glucose range. Linear regression statistics, Clarke Error Grid Analysis, and Bias Analysis showed good correlation between fingertip and alternate site results. Testing demonstrated that the performance of Ferrara at the palm alternate site was substantially equivalent to that at fingertip.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Linear regression statistics, Clarke Error Grid Analysis, and Bias Analysis showed good correlation between fingertip and alternate site results.

§ 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.

Device
Description:The Ferrara Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of a
meter, test strips, and control solution. It is intended for over-
the-counter, home use by diabetics to monitor their blood
glucose levels, or for use in a clinical setting by health care
professionals. The system tests fresh capillary whole blood.
The meter is a portable, battery-operated instrument
designed for use with Ferrara Blood Glucose Test Strips.
Intended Use:The Ferrara Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for
the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary
whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips or palm.
Testing is done outside the body ( In Vitro diagnostic use). It
is indicated for use at home (over the counter [OTC]) by
persons with diabetes, or in clinical settings by healthcare
professionals, as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of
diabetes control.
Functional and
Safety Testing:SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The Ferrara Blood Glucose Monitoring System is technically
unchanged by this expansion of indications (claiming palm as
sample sites in addition to fingertip testing). The Ferrara
system uses a meter substantially equivalent to the
"Advance™ Micro-draw" meter with a test strip SE to the
Assure Pro test strip.

2. CLINICAL TESTING

Accuracy/method comparison testing was done comparing fingertip results obtained by clinicians with alternate site results (palm) results obtained by participants with diabetes.

Testing included both men and women, with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, ages from 20 to 83 years. Tested blood glucose values encompassed the 45-328 mg/dL glucose range. Linear regression statistics, Clarke Error Grid Analysis, and Bias Analysis showed good correlation between fingertip and alternate site results.

  • Testing demonstrated that the performance of Ferrara at the Conclusion: palm alternate site was substantially equivalent to that at fingertip.
