Intended Use
The GAL-1C Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips, forearm, or palm. Alternative site testing should be performed only during steady-state (when glucose is not changing rapidly). Testing is done outside the body (In Vitro diagnostic use). It is indicated for lay use by people with diabetes, as an aid to monitoring levels in Diabetes Mellitus and should only be used by a single patient and it should not be shared. It is not indicated for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes or for neonatal use. The GAL-1C Blood Glucose Test Strips are to be used with the GAL-1C Blood Glucose Meter to quantitatively measure glucose in capillary whole blood taken from fingertips, palm, or forearm. Alternative site testing should be performed only during steady-state (when glucose is not changing rapidly). They are not indicated for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes or for neonatal use. The purpose of the control solution test is to validate the performance of the Blood Glucose Monitoring System using a testing solution with a known range of glucose. A control test that falls within the acceptable range indicates the user's technique is appropriate and the test strip and meter are functioning properly.

No
The summary describes a standard blood glucose monitoring system and does not mention any AI or ML components in its description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
Explanation: The device is intended for "quantitative measurement of glucose" and "aid to monitoring levels in Diabetes Mellitus." It is an in vitro diagnostic device used for measurement and monitoring, not for providing therapy or treatment.

No

The device is explicitly stated as "It is not indicated for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes". Its purpose is to aid in monitoring glucose levels for people already diagnosed with diabetes.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "blood glucose meter" and "test strips," which are hardware components. The performance studies also include hardware-related testing like drop testing, EMC, electrical safety, and battery life.

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

The intended use explicitly states: "Testing is done outside the body (In Vitro diagnostic use)." This is the defining characteristic of an IVD. The device measures glucose in blood samples outside of the patient's body to provide information about their health status.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Testing: Testing was conducted as follows: Software verification and validation, software integration, linearity, Lo/Hi detection, drop testing, EMC and Electrical Safety, verification of strip noninterchangeability between new and predicate devices, precision, interferences, minimum sample volume, altitude, hematocrit, humidity and temperature, control solution qualification, environmental conditions testing, test strip shelf life and use life, control solution shelf life and use life, and battery life testing. Disinfection testing was done to show that the system remained accurate after multiple disinfections to simulate a life time of disinfection treatments. Evaluation was done to demonstrate the ability of the selected disinfectant material to inactive Hepatitis B. Results demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device meter, test strips, and control solutions.

Clinical Testing: An accuracy study was performed with blood testing by healthcare professionals. A User Performance study was conducted with self-testing at finger, palm, and forearm sites. A User Study was conducted to evaluate ease-of-use of the system and ease-of-understanding of the User's Manual. Results demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate system.

Conclusion: Clinical and non-clinical testing demonstrated that the GAL-1C system performs in a substantially equivalent manner to that of the predicate system. We conclude that the GAL-1C meter and GAL-1C test strips are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

| Comparison of
Technological
Characteristics: | The GAL-IC meter uses the same test algorithm as the predicate meter. The
GAL-1C meter has been modified by changing 4 operating buttons to 3
operating buttons. Meter software has been changed to accommodate the
new autocoding feature. The test strip holder has been modified to allow
automatic detection of the calibration code upon insertion of the test strip.
The test strip chemistry has been slightly modified and the blood collection
chamber has been reduced in volume. The Contrex Plus III Control Solution
includes an added red dye and slightly modified glucose concentrations. |
| Non-Clinical
Testing: | Testing was conducted as follows: Software verification and validation,
software integration, linearity, Lo/Hi detection, drop testing, EMC and
Electrical Safety, verification of strip noninterchangeability between new and
predicate devices, precision, interferences, minimum sample volume,
altitude, hematocrit, humidity and temperature, control solution qualification,
environmental conditions testing, test strip shelf life and use life, control
solution shelf life and use life, and battery life testing. Disinfection testing

Dear Sir/Madam

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 general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing 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 nust comply with all the Act's requirements. including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807). Iabeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
