Intended Use
The Medtronic CareLink™ USB Connector is indicated for use by patients at home and clinicians in a medical office setting to facilitate communication between Medtronic diabetes ther apy management devices that use Paradigm-compatible RF telemetry and a personal computer that uses data management application software.
Device Description
The Medtronic MiniMed CareLink USB Connector is an accessory device that facilitates wireless communication between compatible Medtronic MiniMed radiofrequency telemetry devices and a personal computer. The hardware component of the CareLink USB Connector consists of a radio-frequency (RF) transceiver enclosed in a plastic housing and one USB connector that is compatible with a type A (female) USB port of a personal computer (PC) or a USB hub. The CareLink USB Connector has a form factor similar to a USB flash memory stick and will by recognized by the PC as a USB device. The CareLink USB Connector is designed for use with Medtronic MiniMed devices that use Paradigm radiofrequency telemetry. Data is transferred between Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm RF compatible devices and a personal computer (PC) using select Medtronic MiniMed data management software applications.

No
The summary describes a USB connector for data transfer, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an "accessory device that facilitates wireless communication" between Medtronic diabetes therapy management devices and a personal computer. It does not provide therapy itself but rather aids in data transfer for therapy management.

No

The device facilitates communication of data from other Medtronic devices to a computer for data management; it does not itself perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is a "hardware component" consisting of an RF transceiver, plastic housing, and a USB connector.

Based on the provided information, the Medtronic CareLink™ USB Connector is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device's purpose is to facilitate communication between Medtronic diabetes therapy management devices (like insulin pumps or glucose meters) and a personal computer for data management. It acts as a bridge for transferring data, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for data transfer and management of diabetes therapy, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

The device is a communication accessory for medical devices, not a diagnostic test itself.

(a)
Identification. An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.(b)

SECTION 2.0 - 510(k) SUMMARY

In accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR 807.92, this 510(k) Summary is provided:

Submitter: Medtronic MiniMed 18000 Devonshire St. Northridge, CA 91325

Contact: Jodie Rogers, (818) 576-5708

Date: February 13, 2007

Name of Device: Medtronic MiniMed CareLink™ USB Connector, Model MMT-7305

Predicate Device: Com-Link Communication System, Model MMT-7304

Description of the Device: The Medtronic MiniMed CareLink USB Connector is an accessory device that facilitates wireless communication between compatible Medtronic MiniMed radiofrequency telemetry devices and a personal computer.

The hardware component of the CareLink USB Connector consists of a radio-frequency (RF) transceiver enclosed in a plastic housing and one USB connector that is compatible with a type A (female) USB port of a personal computer (PC) or a USB hub. The CareLink USB Connector has a form factor similar to a USB flash memory stick and will by recognized by the PC as a USB device.

The CareLink USB Connector is designed for use with Medtronic MiniMed devices that use Paradigm radiofrequency telemetry. Data is transferred between Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm RF compatible devices and a personal computer (PC) using select Medtronic MiniMed data management software applications.

Intended Use of the Device: The Medtronic CareLink USB Connector is indicated for use by patients at home and clinicians in a medical office setting to facilitate communication between Medtronic diabetes therapy management devices that use Paradigm-compatible RF telemetry and a personal computer that uses data management application software.

Comparison of the Technological Features of the New Device and Predicate Device: The modified device and the lawfully marketed predicate devices provide similar function, and use radiofrequency technology to communicate. The primary difference between the two devices is physical, in that, the new device is designed to connect to the computer's USB port instead of a serial port. These modifications do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device.

Dear Ms. Rogers:

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. 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 begin 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) 276-0120. 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.
