Intended Use
GAL-1A Blood Glucose Monitoring System: The GAL-1A 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. GAL-1A Blood Glucose Test Strips: The GAL-1A Blood Glucose Test Strips are to be used with the GAL-1A 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.
Device Description
The GAL-1A blood glucose meter and GAL-1A test strips are used for testing of blood glucose by self-testers at home. Contrex Plus III Glucose Control Solutions are used for quality control testing of the system.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard blood glucose monitoring system and test strips, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is used for monitoring glucose levels, not for treating any condition. Its intended use is as an "aid to monitoring" and "In Vitro diagnostic use," which are diagnostic rather than therapeutic functions.

No

The "Intended Use" section explicitly states, "It is not indicated for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes." It is meant for monitoring only.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "GAL-1A blood glucose meter" and "GAL-1A test strips," which are hardware components. The performance studies also include testing related to the meter's robustness and electrical safety, further indicating it is not a software-only device.

Yes, the GAL-1A Blood Glucose Monitoring System and GAL-1A Blood Glucose Test Strips are explicitly stated to be IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "Testing is done outside the body (In Vitro diagnostic use)."

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-Clinical Testing: Testing was conducted as follows: EMC and Electrical Safety, drop testing disinfection performance (robustness of meter to multiple cleanings and disinfections), software verification and validation, and linearity testing with validation of Lo/Hi detection.

Clinical Testing: A user study was conducted to evaluate ease-of-use of the system and ease-of-understanding of the User's Manual.

Results: Results demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate system. Clinical and non-clinical testing demonstrated that the GAL-1A system performs in a substantially equivalent manner to that of the predicate.

§ 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.

Device Description:The GAL-1A blood glucose meter and GAL-1A test strips are used for
testing of blood glucose by self-testers at home. Contrex Plus III
Glucose Control Solutions are used for quality control testing of the
system.
Intended Use:GAL-1A Blood Glucose Monitoring System: The GAL-1A 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.
GAL-1A Blood Glucose Test Strips: The GAL-1A Blood Glucose Test Strips are to
be used with the GAL-1A 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.
Comparison of
Technological
Characteristics:The GAL-1A meter has been modified relative to the predicate by orienting
the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) vertically and rearranging its icons, plus
altering the meter case to accommodate the LCD change. The GAL-1A
meter uses the same test algorithm as the predicate meter. The GAL-1A test
strips are identical to their predicate devices.
Non-Clinical
Testing:Testing was conducted as follows: EMC and Electrical Safety, drop testing
disinfection performance (robustness of meter to multiple cleanings and
disinfections), software verification and validation, and linearity testing with
validation of Lo/Hi detection. Results demonstrate substantial equivalence to
the predicate system.
Clinical TestingA 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-1A system
performs in a substantially equivalent manner to that of the predicate. We
conclude that the GAL-1A meter and GAL-1A test strips are substantially
equivalent to the predicate devices.
