Intended Use
The Polytel GMA (models PWR-08-06, PWR-08-07, and PWR-08-09) are remote communications link devices intended to be used to wirelessly transmit glucose meter readings from a compatible Blood Glucose Monitor to a compatible cellular phone, such as the Nokia N73 or access point, such as the Polytel® APT. The receiving device, in turn, sends the readings to the healthcare provider in another location. The device does not send any real-time alarms. Clinical judgment and experience are required to check and interpret the information delivered.
Device Description
The Polytel® GMA is a telemedicine device that uses Bluetooth technology to transmit data from a glucose monitor to compatible access points such as a personal computer, standalone device or cellular phone with Bluetooth capability. It is connected to the glucose meter by a phono jack and uses short-range low power wireless transmission (Bluetooth v2.0) to send the data to Bluetooth compatible access point. The unit is battery powered.
More Information

No
The description focuses on data transmission via Bluetooth and does not mention any analytical or interpretive functions that would typically involve AI/ML.

No
The device transmits glucose meter readings but does not directly treat or diagnose a condition. It is a communication link for existing therapeutic processes.

No
The device transmits glucose meter readings but does not interpret or analyze them to diagnose a condition. It merely acts as a communication link.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "telemedicine device" that "uses Bluetooth technology" and is "connected to the glucose meter by a phono jack" and is "battery powered." These are all hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Polytel GMA is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to wirelessly transmit glucose meter readings. It does not perform any diagnostic testing or analysis of biological samples itself. It acts as a communication link for data already generated by a separate device (the glucose meter).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "telemedicine device" that uses Bluetooth technology to transmit data. It connects to the glucose meter but doesn't perform any in vitro testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, etc.)
    • Providing a diagnostic result or interpretation
    • Using reagents or other materials for testing

The device's function is purely data transmission, not diagnostic testing. The diagnostic function is performed by the compatible Blood Glucose Monitor, which would be considered an IVD.

§ 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.

A. Predicate Device:

The Polytel® GMA is substantially equivalent to the PWR-08-03 manufactured by Polymap Wireless and the Think Positive (t+) diabetes management system, manufactured by e-San, Ltd. UK.

B.Device Description:

The Polytel® GMA is a telemedicine device that uses Bluetooth technology to transmit data from a glucose monitor to compatible access points such as a personal computer, standalone device or cellular phone with Bluetooth capability. It is connected to the glucose meter by a phono jack and uses short-range low power wireless transmission (Bluetooth v2.0) to send the data to Bluetooth compatible access point. The unit is battery powered.

C.Intended use and indications for use:

The Polytel GMA (models PWR-08-06, PWR-08-07, and PWR-08-09) are remote communications link devices intended to be used to wirelessly transmit glucose meter readings from a compatible Blood Glucose Monitor to a compatible cellular phone, such as the Nokia N73 or access point, such as the Polytel® APT.

Dear Dr. Landau:

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. Iisting 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 Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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 Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
