Omnipod 5 SmartBolus Calculator (K203772)
No
The description focuses on a rule-based calculation using predefined inputs and patient-specific parameters, without mentioning learning or adaptive algorithms.
Yes.
The device is described as software intended for the management of type 1 or type 2 diabetes by calculating a dose of bolus insulin. This calculation capability directly impacts patient treatment and well-being, aligning with the definition of a therapeutic device which provides treatment, prevention, or mitigation of disease.
No
The device is an insulin dose calculator, not a diagnostic device. It calculates bolus insulin doses based on existing glucose readings (from a CGM), carbohydrate intake, activity, and insulin on board, rather than diagnosing a condition or disease.
Yes
The device is explicitly described as a "software device module" and a "software application," and its function is to perform calculations and provide coaching messages based on user inputs and data from a compatible iCGM. There is no mention of accompanying hardware developed or included by the submitter.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Function: The BlueStar® CGM insulin dose calculator is a software application that uses data from a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) and other patient inputs to calculate a recommended insulin dose. It does not perform any tests on specimens taken from the body.
- Input Data: The primary input is data from a CGM, which measures glucose levels in interstitial fluid, not directly from a collected specimen in a laboratory setting. Other inputs are patient-reported or pre-configured within the software.
- Purpose: The purpose is to assist patients in managing their diabetes by providing insulin dosing recommendations, not to diagnose or provide information based on the analysis of a biological specimen.
While the device uses glucose data, the data is obtained from a CGM, which is a separate device. The BlueStar software processes this data along with other factors to provide a calculation, which is a different function than an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The BlueStar® CGM insulin dose calculator is software intended for the management of type 1 or type 2 diabetes in persons aged 18 years and older requiring fast-acting insulin. The BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator allows patients to calculate a dose of bolus insulin for a given amount of carbohydrates, the most recent CGM glucose reading and rate of change, activity, and, optionally, insulin on board (IOB). The BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator requires a prescription.

Device Description
The BlueStar® CGM insulin dose calculator is a software device module existing in the same mobile medical application as BlueStar® Rx (K203434), which is intended for the management of diabetes. When connected to a compatible integrated continuous glucose monitor (iCGM) and under authorization from a qualified healthcare provider, the BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator allows patients to calculate a dose of bolus insulin for a given amount of carbohydrates, the most recent iCGM glucose reading and its rate of change, activity, and, optionally, insulin on board (IOB). Other patient-specific inputs from BlueStar Rx are used in the calculation of the recommended dose- specifically, duration of insulin to carb ratio, correction factor, and target glucose. In addition to calculating specific dosing recommendations, the BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator also provides coaching messages to assist the user in maintaining glucose within the target range.
The use of CGM inputs differentiates the BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator from the insulin dose calculator included in the previously cleared BlueStar Rx, which uses blood glucose (BG) values from a BG meter using a "fingerstick" method. The CGM insulin dose calculator is intended to coexist with the BG insulin calculator function in the BlueStar Rx software application as the BG calculation may be necessary when CGM is unavailable or the CGM estimated blood glucose does not match how the user feels.

A human factors and usability engineering process was followed consistent with the FDA's guidance document, Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices (Issued February 3, 2016). Human factors validation was conducted with the intended user population and demonstrated safe and effective use of the BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator.
Clinical simulations were performed to evaluate the clinical validity of the dose recommendations across the range of input parameter combinations including inaccuracies from an interoperable input device.
The subject device was evaluated to ensure the Special Controls in 21 CFR 862.1358 are adequately addressed.
Clinical Testing:
A clinical study was conducted on 27 adult subjects with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes who used a CGM and whose insulin regimen consisted of basal and mealtime (bolus) insulin. The primary endpoint of the study was to establish that the mean CGM glucose time in range (TIR) (defined as the percentage of time spent between 70 and 180 mg/dL) of study participants using a version of the Bluestar mobile application integrated with the BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator is not inferior to their baseline TIR determined from CGM data from 30 days prior. In addition, safety measures including time in hypoglycemia (obtained with CGM) and adverse events including hypoglycemic events were to be recorded. Data was collected for each subject for 30 days while using the BlueStar mobile app with the CGM insulin dose calculator. The statistical analysis of the study data showed that the mean TIR when using BlueStar with the CGM insulin dose calculator is not inferior to the baseline mean TIR prior to using the device. In addition, there was no increase in time spent with glucose below 70 mg/dL and below 54 mg/dL in the subject populations. These data support the safety of the Bluestar CGM insulin dose calculator.

Device Description
The BlueStar® CGM insulin dose calculator is a software device module existing in the same mobile medical application as BlueStar® Rx (K203434), which is intended for the management of diabetes. When connected to a compatible integrated continuous glucose monitor (iCGM) and under authorization from a qualified healthcare provider, the BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator allows patients to calculate a dose of bolus insulin for a given amount of carbohydrates, the most recent iCGM glucose reading and its rate of change, activity, and, optionally, insulin on board (IOB). Other patient-specific inputs from BlueStar Rx are used in the calculation of the recommended dose- specifically, duration of insulin to carb ratio, correction factor, and target glucose. In addition to calculating specific dosing recommendations, the BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator also provides coaching messages to assist the user in maintaining glucose within the target range.
The use of CGM inputs differentiates the BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator from the insulin dose calculator included in the previously cleared BlueStar Rx, which uses blood glucose (BG) values from a BG meter using a "fingerstick" method. The CGM insulin dose calculator is intended to coexist with the BG insulin calculator function in the BlueStar Rx software application as the BG calculation may be necessary when CGM is unavailable or the CGM estimated blood glucose does not match how the user feels.
Indications for Use
The BlueStar® CGM insulin dose calculator is software intended for the management of type 1 or type 2 diabetes in persons aged 18 years and older requiring fast-acting insulin. The BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator allows patients to calculate a dose of bolus insulin for a given amount of carbohydrates, the most recent CGM glucose reading and rate of change, activity, and, optionally, insulin on board (IOB). The BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator requires a prescription.
Comparison to Predicate Device
The subject device matches the description of a Continuous Glucose Monitor Informed Insulin Dose Calculator – Insulin Therapy Adjustment Device described in 21 CFR 862.1358. A predicate device, the Omnipod 5 SmartBolus Calculator (K203772) of the same device type, shares substantially equivalent characteristics as the subject device. Both devices are intended for the management of diabetes. The indications for use of the subject device are within the indications of the predicate device, differing with respect to a narrower age indication in the subject device. Both devices are algorithmic software devices that calculate a recommended bolus insulin dose based on user-entered carbohydrates, most recent sensor glucose value, rate of change of the sensor glucose, insulin on board, and programmable correction factor, insulin to carbohydrate ratio, and target glucose value; more insulin is calculated when the sensor glucose trend is increasing, and less insulin is calculated when the sensor glucose trend is decreasing. The predicate device is a software component of a mobile medical application. Likewise, the subject device is a software component of a mobile medical application. Minor differences exist in the device settings that allow user-specific adjustments to the calculations and minor differences exist in the algorithms, which may result in minor differences in recommended insulin doses. The differences in device
5
settings and algorithms do not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Non-clinical Performance Testing
The following non-clinical testing was performed and reviewed to support the substantial equivalence of the subject device:

Clinical Testing
A clinical study was conducted on 27 adult subjects with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes who used a CGM and whose insulin regimen consisted of basal and mealtime (bolus) insulin. The primary endpoint of the study was to establish that the mean CGM glucose time in range (TIR) (defined as the percentage of time spent between 70 and180 mg/dL) of study participants using a version of the Bluestar mobile application integrated with the BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator is not inferior to their baseline TIR determined from CGM data from 30 days prior. In addition, safety measures including time in hypoglycemia (obtained with CGM) and adverse events including hypoglycemic events were to be recorded. Data was collected for each subject for 30 days while using the BlueStar mobile app with the CGM insulin dose calculator. The statistical analysis of the study data showed that the mean TIR when using BlueStar with the CGM insulin dose calculator is not inferior to the baseline mean TIR prior to using the device. In

addition, there was no increase in time spent with glucose below 70 mg/dL and below 54 mg/dL in the subject populations. These data support the safety of the Bluestar CGM insulin dose calculator.
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The subject device in this premarket notification, the Bluestar CGM insulin dose calculator, has the same intended use and similar indications for use and technological characteristics as those of the predicate device. Performance testing demonstrated that the device performs as intended. The differences between the predicate and the subject device do not raise any new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. The BlueStar CGM insulin dose calculator is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
