Intended Use
The EM44 Self Monitoring Blood Glucose System is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood from fingertip, palm, or forearm. Testing is done outside the body (In Vitro diagnostic use). It is indicated for use at home (over the counter [OTC]) by a single patient with diabetes and should not be shared, as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. The system is not to be used on neonates, nor for the diagnosis of, or screening for diabetes mellitus. Alternative site testing can be only used during steady-state blood glucose conditions. The system consists of the EM44 meter and the EM44 test strips. The EM44 meter only is used with the EM44 test strips to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood from fingertip, palm, or forearm. The EM44 Glucose Control Solution For use with EM44 Self Monitoring Blood Glucose System as a quality control check to verify the accuracy of blood glucose test results. The EM44 Pro Self Monitoring Blood Glucose System is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in venous whole blood or fresh capillary whole blood from fingertip. Testing is done outside the body (In Vitro diagnostic use). It is intended for multiple-patient use in professional healthcare settings as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. The system is only used with single-use lancing devices. The system is not to be used on neonates, nor for the diagnosis of, or screening for diabetes mellitus. Alternative site testing can be only used during steady-state blood glucose conditions. The system consists of the EM44 Pro meter and the EM44 Pro test strips. The EM44 Pro meter only is used with the EM44 Pro test strips to quantitatively measure glucose in venous whole blood or fresh capillary whole blood from fingertip. The EM44 Glucose Control Solution For use with EM44 Pro Self Monitoring Blood Glucose System as a quality control check to verify the accuracy of blood glucose test results.

No
The document describes a standard blood glucose monitoring system and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
This device is an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device used for monitoring blood glucose levels, not for treating a condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose" and for "In Vitro diagnostic use," which unequivocally classifies it as a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a "meter" and "test strips," which are hardware components, not solely software.

Yes, based on the provided text, both the EM44 Self Monitoring Blood Glucose System and the EM44 Pro Self Monitoring Blood Glucose System are IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section for both systems explicitly states: "Testing is done outside the body (In Vitro diagnostic use)."
  • Nature of the Test: Both systems are designed to quantitatively measure glucose in blood samples, which is a biological sample tested in vitro (outside the living organism) to provide diagnostic information.

Therefore, the text clearly identifies these devices as IVDs.

§ 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.
