A.) Glucose Shepherd Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) at home. It is used for quantitative measurement of glucose level in fresh capillary whole blood samples (from the finger, the palm, the forearm, the upper arm, the calf and the thigh). The alternative site testing can be only used during steady-state blood glucose monitoring. The Glucose Shepherd Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for use by a single person and should not be shared. In addition, it is intended for use at home as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control program. It should not be used for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes, nor for the testing of neonates.
The Glucose Shepherd Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of the Glucose Shepherd Blood Glucose meter and the Glucose Shepherd Blood Glucose test strips. The Glucose Shepherd Blood Glucose meter is used only with Glucose Shepherd Blood Glucose test strips to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from finger tips, the palm, the forearm, the upper arm, the calf and the thigh.
The Glucose Shepherd Control Solutions are for use with the Glucose Shepherd Blood Glucose Monitoring System as a quality control check to verify the accuracy of blood glucose test results.
B.) Glucose Shepherd Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use). It is used for quantitative measurement of glucose level in fresh capillary whole blood samples (from the finger, the palm, the forearm, the upper arm, the calf and the thigh). The alternative site testing can be only used during steady-state blood glucose monitoring. The Glucose Shepherd Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring System may be used for multiple patients in a professional healthcare setting. I is intended for use as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control program. This system is only used with single-use, auto-disabling lancing devices. It should not be used for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes, for the testing of neonates, or for testing of arterial blood.
The Glucose Shepherd Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of the Glucose Shepherd Pro Blood Glucose meter and the Glucose Shepherd Pro Blood Glucose test strips. The Glucose Shepherd Pro Blood Glucose meter is used only with Glucose Shepherd Pro Blood Glucose test strips to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from finger tips, the palm, the forearm, the upper arm, the calf and the thigh.
The Glucose Shepherd Pro control solutions are for use with the Glucose Shepherd Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring System as a quality control check to verify the accuracy of blood glucose test results.
A.) Glucose Shepherd Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of a blood glucose meter, test strips, control solutions(Level 1, 2 and 3), lancing device, and commercially available sterilized lancets. This system utilizes amperometric method to generate a current. The size of the current is proportional to the amount of glucose presented in the sample, providing a quantitative measure of glucose level in whole blood.
B.) Glucose Shepherd Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of a blood glucose meter, test strips, control solutions(Level 1, 2 and 3) and single-use lancing devices. This system utilizes amperometric method to generate a current. The size of the current is proportional to the amount of glucose level presented in the sample, providing a quantitative measure of glucose level in whole blood.
This 510(k) summary provides limited information regarding the performance studies. Therefore, a comprehensive description of acceptance criteria and the entire study that proves the device meets those criteria cannot be fully extracted.
However, based on the provided text, here's what can be gathered and inferred:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document states that both the Glucose Shepherd Blood Glucose Monitoring System and the Glucose Shepherd Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring System were studied in laboratory and clinical settings, and these studies "have demonstrated that this system meets the performance requirements of its intended use."
While explicit numerical acceptance criteria are not detailed in this summary, in the context of blood glucose monitoring systems, "performance requirements" typically refer to accuracy standards. For example, ISO 15197 (In vitro diagnostic test systems - Requirements for blood glucose monitoring systems for self-testing in managing diabetes mellitus) is a commonly referenced standard. A key part of this standard's accuracy requirement is that a certain percentage of results (e.g., 95%) must fall within a defined range of a reference method (e.g., within ±15 mg/dL for glucose concentrations
§ 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.
