Intended Use
The Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and B-Ketone Monitoring System Monitor is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose or β-hydroxybutyrate (βketone) in fresh capillary whole blood. It is intended for use by people with diabetes mellitus in the home and by healthcare professionals in clinical settings as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is not intended for use in the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus and is not intended for use on neonates. The Nova Max Blood Glucose and B-Ketone Monitor is specifically indicated for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples obtained from the fingertip, forearm and palm or B-hydroxybutvrate (8-ketone) in fresh capillary whole blood obtained from the fingertip only. Nova Max Glucose Test Strips are intended for use only with the Nova Max Blood Glucose Monitor and the Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and B-Ketone Monitor. The Glucose Monitor is calibrated to provide plasma equivalent results to laboratory methods. Nova Max Blood Glucose Test Strips are for testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only). The Nova Max Plus Ketone Test Strips are intended for use only on the Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and B-Ketone Monitor. Nova Max Glucose Control Solutions are intended for use with the Nova Max Blood Glucose Monitor, the Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and B-Ketone Monitor and Nova Max Glucose Test Strips as a quality control check to verify the accuracy of blood glucose test results. There are three levels of controls, (Normal, Low and High).

This device is an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control by measuring glucose or β-hydroxybutyrate (βketone) levels; it does not directly provide therapy or treatment.

No

The text explicitly states: "It is not intended for use in the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus..."

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as the "Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and B-Ketone Monitor" and test strips, indicating it is a physical device system, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The description for the Nova Max Glucose Test Strips explicitly states: "Nova Max Blood Glucose Test Strips are for testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only)." While this specifically refers to the test strips, the entire system is designed to work together for this purpose.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the quantitative measurement of glucose or β-hydroxybutyrate in fresh capillary whole blood. This is a measurement performed outside the body on a biological sample.
  • Function: The system measures analytes (glucose and ketones) in a biological sample (blood) to provide information about a person's health status (diabetes control). This is the core function of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and B-Ketone Monitoring System is an IVD.

Summary of Technological Characteristics:

The Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and Ketone Monitoring System has the same fundamental scientific technology and the same intended use as the current on-market Nova Max Blood Glucose Monitor (K070255) for glucose. The Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and Ketone Monitoring System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Precision Xtra Advanced Diabetes Management System, K040814, for ketone measurements.

The Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and B- Ketone Monitoring System measures glucose electrochemically utilizing the glucose oxidase test system described in K070255 (Nova Max Glucose Monitor System. In the same manner, the magnitude of the current is proportional to the amount of glucose or, B-hydroxybutyrate (B- ketone) present in the sample, providing a quantitative measure of glucose or ß-ketone in whole blood and control solutions.

Comparison to Predicate Devices:

The modified Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and ß-Ketone Monitoring System uses the same fundamental scientific technology and has the same intended use as the predicate Nova Max Blood Glucose Monitor (K070255) and the Precision Xtra Advanced Diabetes Management System (K040814).

Performance Studies:

The performance of the Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and B-Ketone Monitoring System was studied in the laboratory and in clinical settings by healthcare professionals and lay users. The studies demonstrated that lay users can obtain blood glucose and blood ß-Ketone results that are substantially equivalent to the current methods for blood glucose and blood ß-ketone measurements.

Conclusion:

Results of laboratory and clinical testing demonstrate that the performance of the Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and ß-Ketone Monitoring System, has the same intended uses, with similar technological characteristics and can produce results that are substantially equivalent to results obtained on the predicate devices. The system performs as intended and raises no new safety or effectiveness issues. .
