The description states that feedback messages are "selected by the system based on the patient's currently submitted and recent historic data." While this could be a simple rule-based system, it could also involve more complex algorithms that might fall under the umbrella of AI/ML, but the summary does not explicitly state this.
No
The device collects and transmits physiological data and provides motivational information, but explicitly states it "does not provide diagnosis of any disease or medical condition" and "is not intended to provide automated treatment decisions, or to be used as a substitute for professional healthcare judgment." This indicates it does not directly treat or mitigate a condition.
No
The document explicitly states that "Confidant 2.5 does not provide diagnosis of any disease or medical condition." It is an accessory device for collecting and transmitting physiological measurements and providing motivational feedback, not for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly mentions a "Confidant Connector component" which underwent electrical safety and EMC testing, indicating a hardware component is part of the system.
Based on the provided text, the Confidant 2.5 device 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 or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Confidant 2.5 Function: The Confidant 2.5 collects physiologic measurements from home monitoring devices (blood glucose meters, blood pressure cuffs, weight scales). It does not perform any tests on biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to collect and record data, transmit it to a server for generating feedback messages, and help patients understand and manage their health. It explicitly states it "does not provide diagnosis of any disease or medical condition."
Therefore, the Confidant 2.5 acts as a data collection and communication tool for existing home monitoring devices, rather than performing diagnostic tests itself.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Confidant 2.5 is intended for personal use by out-of-hospital patients as a means to retrospectively collect and record physiologic measurements from home monitoring devices (including blood glucose meters, blood pressure cuffs and weight scales). The data is transmitted to a database server where customized messages are generated by the system and returned to the patient. The returned messages contain objective observations and motivational information intended to help the patient better understand and manage their health.
Confidant 2.5 is an accessory device that collects data from a range of supported home-monitoring devices. The data is collected from the supported devices and sent to a central database server, using standard wireless technologies. Upon receipt of newly submitted patient data, the Confidant Server software will generate and send one or more feedback messages directly to the patient's cell-phone. The feedback messages are selected by the system based on the patient's currently submitted and recent historic data.
Confidant 2.5 does not provide diagnosis of any disease or medical condition.
Confidant 2.5 is not intended to provide automated treatment decisions, or to be used as a substitute for professional healthcare judgment. All patient medical diagnoses and treatment are to be performed under the supervision and oversight of an appropriate healthcare professional.
Confidant 2.5 is not intended for emergency calls or for transmission or indication of any real-time alarms or time-critical data. This device is not intended as a substitute for direct medical supervision or emergency intervention.
Confidant 2.5 is intended for over-the-counter use.

Dear Mr. Plonski:
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.
