Intended Use
EndoTool SubQ is a software application for use by trained healthcare professionals to calculate and recommend an individual patient's next dose of insulin to be administered subcutaneously to manage blood glucose levels in patients with Diabetes Mellitus in both adult and pediatric patients (age 2 years and above and 12 kg or more). The software is designed to recommend the insulin dose(s) (and when indicated a carbohydrate dose) based on the prescribing healthcare provider's nutritional regimen, insulin regimen, target glucose range, and patient specific characteristics. The EndoTool SubQ is not a substitute for clinical reasoning, but is an aid for trained healthcare professionals to manage patients. The System is based on obtained glucose readings and clinical data entered by the medical staff. Final dose decisions for a patient must be made only after consideration of the full clinical status of the patient. No medical decision should be made based solely on the recommendations provided by this software program.
Device Description
Monarch Medical Technology's EndoTool SubQ Glucose Management System is a glucose management software solution for healthcare institutions. This system uses proprietary control technology to provide patient-specific glycemic control across a broad population of adult and pediatric patients using basal/bolus insulin therapy. This system is designed to correctly dose subcutaneous insulin (and amount of carbohydrates if and when indicated to treat hypoglycemia) to achieve patient-specific, sustained control with different nutritional and insulin regimens, selected by the patient's physician responsible for glycemic control. EndoTool SubQ Glucose Management System is designed to be used following a physician order with physician set optional diet, insulin regimen, basal/bolus distribution, initial total daily dose of insulin, and glucose target range. The primary user of the EndoTool SubQ Glucose Management System is the bedside caregiver (e.g. nurse) who will use the system to enter clinical data (e.g. food intake and scheduled blood glucose readings). With confirmation of previous data entered, the system makes the next dose calculation of subcutaneous insulin and the next time for a scheduled glucose determination.

Unknown
The summary mentions "proprietary control technology" and "automated algorithm test case execution" but does not explicitly state whether AI/ML is used. The lack of mention of training or test sets for AI/ML models further suggests it might not be present, but it's not conclusive.

No

Explanation: The device is a software application that calculates and recommends insulin doses, but it does not directly administer therapy or provide a therapeutic effect itself. Instead, it aids healthcare professionals in making treatment decisions.

No

The device is a software application that calculates and recommends insulin doses. It does not perform a diagnosis, but rather aids healthcare professionals in managing blood glucose levels in patients already diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus.

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is a "glucose management software solution" and describes its function as calculating and recommending insulin doses based on entered data. There is no mention of any hardware component being part of the device itself.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • EndoTool SubQ's function: The EndoTool SubQ software uses glucose readings (which are obtained from a separate device, likely an in vitro diagnostic like a blood glucose meter) and clinical data to calculate and recommend insulin doses. It does not perform the diagnostic test itself.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for calculating and recommending insulin doses to manage blood glucose levels, not for diagnosing a condition.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a software solution for glucose management and dose calculation, not a diagnostic test.

While it utilizes data obtained from an IVD (the glucose readings), the EndoTool SubQ itself is a clinical decision support software or a glucose management system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Indications for Use:

EndoTool SubQ is a software application for use by trained healthcare professionals to calculate and recommend an individual patient's next dose of insulin to be administered subcutaneously to manage blood glucose levels in patients with Diabetes Mellitus in both and pediatric patients (age 2 years and above and 12 kg or more). The software is designed to recommend the insulin dose(s) (and when indicated a carbohydrate dose) based on the prescribing healthcare provider's nutritional regimen, insulin regimen, target glucose range, and patient specific characteristics.

EndoTool SubQ is not a substitute for clinical reasoning, but is an aid for trained healthcare professionals to manage patients. The System is based on obtained glucose readings and clinical data entered by the medical staff. Final dose decisions for a patient must be made only after consideration of the full clinical status of the patient. No medical decision should be made based solely on the recommendations provided by this software program.

Technological Characteristics

The EndoTool SubQ Glucose Management System uses feedback mathematics to individualize insulin dosing by calculating limited proportional incremental changes in the insulin dosing model (total daily dose and the physician set basal/bolus distribution) or carbohydrate recommendations based on a patient's previous blood glucose readings in response to prior insulin doses. These calculations are repeated by the software when new data is entered into the system, constantly seeking the optimal, patient specific insulin dose for the targets set by the physician.

The software provides three main functions: set-up or initial mathematical model of a patient, physician confirmed or altered daily update of patient's mathematical model through time as new blood glucose values and carbohydrate intake is entered and calculated doses of insulin or carbohydrates based on the physician confirmed total daily dose, basal/bolus distribution, and insulin regimen.

The system is installed on a server and deployed via an internal website on the hospital's infrastructure. Insulin and carbohydrate therapy are managed using blood glucose measurements, available patient information and a set of algorithms that includes a nonlinear dosing equation that is individualized and optimized through time based on blood glucose response to previous doses administered. Therapy goals and limits are configurable by the patient's physician.

Substantial Equivalence

The EndoTool SubQ Glucose Management System is substantially equivalent to other FDA cleared, marketed drug dosage calculators. Specifically, the EndoTool SubQ Glucose Management System is substantially equivalent to the Glytec Glucommander G+ Enterprise System (K113853) and EndoTool IV Glucose Management System (K132547). Minor differences in the technological characteristics between these devices do not raise new questions of safety or efficacy.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

The EndoTool SubQ Glucose Management System has the same intended use and similar indications, technological characteristics, principles of operation as the previously cleared Glytec Glucommander G+ Enterprise System and EndoTool IV Glucose Management System, thus establishing substantial equivalence.

Test Summary

Testing included the following:

  • Requirements-based testing for all functionality. 1)
    1. Requirements-based testing for all risk-related requirements.
    1. Integration testing to ensure that data flows correctly into and out of the database.
  • Automated algorithm test case execution. 4)
    1. Off The Shelf (OTS) software embedded in the application was included in the technical verification protocols. Each OTS component was tested to ensure that it functioned as intended.

Test Summary Conclusion:

The performance of the EndoTool SubQ Glucose Management System is substantially equivalent to that of the Glytec Glucommander G+ Enterprise System (K113853) and EndoTool IV Glucose Management System (K132547) and raises no new safety or effectiveness issues and performs as well as the predicate.
