Intended Use
The OneTouch® UltraLink™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood obtained from the finger, forearm or palm. The OneTouch® UltraLink™ System is intended for use by people with diabetes in a home setting and by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. The OneTouch® UltraLink™ Blood Glucose monitor may be used to transmit glucose values to appropriate MiniMed Paradigm® and Guardian® REAL Time devices using radio frequency communication.
Device Description
The OneTouch® UltraLink Blood Glucose Monitoring System is a modification to the OneTouch® Ultra® 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System, retaining the features, functions, and user interface of the OneTouch® Ultra® 2 meter while introducing a feature allowing Radio-Frequency transmission of blood glucose results to compatible Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. devices. The OneTouch® UltraLink™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System is composed of the OneTouch® UltraLink™ Blood Glucose meter, OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strips, OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution, OneTouch® Lancing device, OneTouch® UltraSoft® Lancets, and meter carrying case. System modifications were made only to the blood glucose meter, carrying case, and instructions for use.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard blood glucose monitoring system with added radio-frequency transmission capabilities, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used for monitoring glucose levels, not for providing therapy or treatment. Its intended use is as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control, not to actively treat the condition.

Yes

The device is intended for "in vitro diagnostic use" for the quantitative measurement of glucose, and its purpose is to "monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control," which are characteristic functions of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as the blood glucose meter, test strips, control solution, lancing device, and lancets. While it includes software for data transmission, it is not solely software.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The OneTouch® UltraLink™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood obtained from the finger, forearm or palm."

This statement clearly identifies the device as being used for testing biological samples (blood) outside of the body to diagnose or monitor a medical condition (diabetes), which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic 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.
