The summary describes a standard blood glucose monitoring system that measures glucose via electrical current. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any technology that would suggest their use.
No
The device is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control, not to treat or cure diabetes.
Yes
The device aids in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control by measuring glucose levels, which is a diagnostic-related function to track a medical condition. However, the text explicitly states "It is not intended for use on neonates and is not for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes," indicating it is not for initial diagnosis but rather for management and monitoring, which still falls under the broader umbrella of diagnostic devices.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a meter, test strips, control solutions, lancing device, and lancets, indicating it is a hardware-based system with potentially embedded software, not a standalone software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is intended for "self testing outside the body (in vitro)".
- Measurement of Analytes: The system is designed for the "quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples". Measuring analytes in biological samples is a core function of IVDs.
- Components: The system includes components typically associated with IVDs, such as test strips and control solutions, which are used to perform the diagnostic test.
The description clearly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The CareSens N Voice Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips and alternative sites such as the forearm, palm. thigh, and calf. Alternative site testing should be used only during steady-state blood glucose conditions. The CareSens N Voice Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for self testing outside the body (in vitro) by people with diabetes at home as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. The system is intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared. It is not intended for use on neonates and is not for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes.
The CareSens N Single Blood Glucose Test Strips are for use with the CareSens N Voice Blood Glucose Meter to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips and alternative sites. The CareSens Control Solutions are for use with the CareSens N Voice Meter and CareSens N Single Test Strips to check that the meter and the test strips are working together properly and that the test is performing correctly.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Validation testing including the meter function test and system accuracy test were conducted. Also, to evaluate the usability of the CareSens N Voice meter, the human factor study was conducted. The test results confirmed that the modified features operated properly when compared to the predicate device (CareSens N BGMS, K083468). CareSens N Voice BGMS demonstrated satisfactory performance and is suitable for its intended use.
Disinfection study of the CareSens N Voice meter and its lancing device was conducted by an outside commercial testing service. The study used the CLOROX GERMICIDAL Wipes (EPA Reg. No: 67619-12) as a disinfectant and live virus inoculated on the materials of the meter and lancing device. The result showed that the disinfectant completely inactivated live virus indicating the effectiveness of disinfectant in preventing the spread of blood-borne pathogens, particularly hepatitis B virus (HBV).
It was also demonstrated that 260 pre-cleaning and 260 disinfection cycles (designed to simulate 5 years of use by lay users) had no effect on the performance or the external materials of the meter and lancing device. This demonstrated the robustness of the meter and lancing device after following the recommended pre-cleaning and disinfection protocol.

Type of Test: Quantitative, Amperometric method, Glucose oxidase (Aspergillus sp.)
The enzyme with other reagent on the test strip produces a small electrical Test Principle: current using glucose as a substrate in the blood sample. The current generated is proportional to the amount of glucose present in the sample. The Meter converts the electrical current to a concentration of glucose using the standard curve uploaded in the meter.
The CareSens N Voice BGMS has the same fundamental scientific technology Technological

Characteristics:
as the predicate CareSens N BGMS (K083468).
Assessment of Performance Characteristics: When compared with the predicate device (CareSens N BGMS, K083468), the basic features of the CareSens N Voice BGMS (including the intended use, glucose level measuring principle, and fundamental scientific technology) are the same. The CareSens N Voice BGMS uses the same test strips (just a different name) and Control Solutions being used in the CareSens N BGMS. Thus, the candidate device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K083464) in aspect of performance, safety, and effectiveness. However, in order to confirm the modifications have not introduced any adverse effect. validation testing including the meter function test and system accuracy test were conducted. Also, to evaluate the usability the CareSens N Voice meter, the human factor study was conducted. The test results confirmed that the modified features operated properly when compare to the predicate device (CareSens N BGMS, K083468). CareSens N Voice BGMS demonstrated satisfactory performance and is suitable for its intended use.
Summary of Pre-cleaning and Disinfection:
Disinfection study of the CareSens N Voice meter and its lancing device was conducted by an outside commercial testing service. The study used the CLOROX GERMICIDAL Wipes (EPA Reg. No: 67619-12) as a disinfectant and live virus inoculated on the materials of the meter and lancing device. The result showed that the disinfectant completely inactivated live virus indicating the effectiveness of disinfectant in preventing the spread of blood-borne pathogens, particularly hepatitis B virus (HBV).
We have also demonstrated that 260 pre-cleaning and 260 disinfection cycles (designed to simulated 5 years of use by lay users) has no effect on the performance or the external materials of the meter and lancing device. This demonstrated the robustness of the meter and lancing device after following the recommended pre-cleaning and disinfection protocol.
