The A-CHECK DS-A Blood Glucose Monitoring System is used with DS-A Test Strips and 3-level Controls for the measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood from the finger. Testing is done outside the body ( in vitro diagnostic use). It is indicated for use at home ( over the counter [OTC] ) by person with diabetes, or in clinical setting by health care professionals, as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. These are not intended for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus, and are not intended for use on neonates.
The DS-A Test Strips are intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips. DS-A Test Strips must be used with the A-CHECK DS-A Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Testing is done outside the body (In Vitro diagnostic use). Thev are 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. These are not intended for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus, and are not intended for use on neonates.
The Alliance Blood Glucose 3 levels Control Solution are for use with the A-CHECK DS-A Blood Glucose Monitoring System and DS-A Test Strips as a quality control check to verify the accuracy of blood glucose test results.
Based on an electrochemical biosensor technology and the principle of capillary action, DS-A Blood Glucose Monitoring System only needs a small amount of blood. Capillary action at the end of the test strip draws the blood into the action chamber and your blood glucose result is precisely and is displayed in 6 seconds.
The Draw-In blood glucose test strip is designed to provide an easy, accurate method for the determination of blood glucose in fingertip capillary whole blood. When the blood is applied to the edge of reaction zone, the blood is drawn into the reaction chamber and will display a reading on the meter. Only a small amount of blood is needed. The test strip for the quantitative measurement of blood glucose in the range is from 20-600 mg/dL (1.1-33.3 mmol/L).
This document describes the DS-A Blood Glucose Monitoring System and its adherence to acceptance criteria, supported by various studies.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for blood glucose monitoring systems typically involve accuracy compared to a laboratory reference method. The document presents results based on "lay user" (home user) and "professional" (clinical setting) studies, comparing the device to the YSI 2300 STAT Plus 1M glucose analyzer.
Acceptance Criteria (Commonly accepted for Blood Glucose Monitors):
- **For Glucose Concentration
§ 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.
