The document describes a standard blood glucose and ketone monitoring system based on electrochemical measurement, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
No
This device is for monitoring blood glucose and ß-ketone levels to aid in managing diabetes, not to treat or cure it. It provides diagnostic information, not therapy.
Yes
The text explicitly states "The FORA ADVANCED GD40 is intended for in vitro diagnostic use" and "The FORA ADVANCED GD40 pro is intended for in vitro diagnostic use". It is used as an 'aid to monitor' the effectiveness of a diabetes control program, which is a diagnostic purpose, even though it explicitly states it "should not be used for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes".
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a meter and test strips, indicating it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, the device is indeed an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The FORA ADVANCED GD40 is intended for in vitro diagnostic use..." and "The FORA ADVANCED GD40 pro is intended for in vitro diagnostic use...".
- The device is designed to measure analytes (glucose and ß-ketone) in biological samples (blood) outside of the body, which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.

6. Comparison to the Predicate:
The FORA ADVANCED GD40/GD40 Pro Blood Glucose and ß-Ketone Monitoring System uses the same fundamental technology and has same intended use as the predicate device Nova Max Plus Blood Glucose and B-Ketone Monitor System (K091547).
Test Principle : 7.
Glucose measurement is based on electrochemical biosensor technology using the enzyme Glucose Dehydrogenase to catalyze the formation of gluconolactone from the oxidation of glucose whereby two electrons are produced. The electrical current resulting from this enzymatic reaction is measured and correlated to glucose concentration by the meter. The magnitude of the current is proportional to the concentration of glucose in the sample. The test strip is calibrated to display the equivalent of plasma glucose values to allow comparison of results with laboratory methods. Using the same technology, B-hydroxybutyrate (B-ketone) is converted by B-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and the magnitude of electrical current resulting from this enzymatic reaction is proportional to the amount of ß-hydroxybutyrate present in the sample.
The ß-ketone control solution contain known amount of ß-hydroxybutyrate that reacts with ß-ketone test strip intended for use as quality checks.
8. Performance Studies:
The performance of the FORA ADVANCED GD40/GD40 Pro Blood Glucose and ß-Ketone Monitoring System was studied in the laboratory and clinical settings by healthcare professionals and lay users. The studies demonstrate that the intended users can obtained blood Glucose and ß-Ketone results that are substantially equivalent to the current methods for blood glucose and ß-Ketone measurement.
9. Conclusion:
Based on the results of laboratory and clinical studies provided in this submission, FORA ADVANCED GD40/GD40 Pro Blood Glucose and ß-Ketone Monitoring System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
