No
The description focuses on standard blood glucose monitoring technology with Bluetooth connectivity and a target range indicator, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, prediction, or interpretation.
No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) system used to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control, not to actively treat the condition.
Yes
The system is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in blood samples, which is used as "an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control." This indicates its role in assessing a medical condition. While it explicitly states "not for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes," monitoring the effectiveness of disease control falls under the broader definition of diagnostic devices, as it provides information about a patient's health status related to a disease.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "blood glucose meter," which is a hardware component. The summary also mentions hardware-related testing like "power consumption, battery lifetime, memory, EMC, electrical safety."
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The ReliOn Premier BLU Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use)..."
- Nature of the Test: The device measures glucose in a biological sample (blood) outside the body to provide information about a person's health status (diabetes control). This is the core definition of an in vitro diagnostic test.

Device Description
The ReliOn Premier BLU Blood Glucose Monitoring System is a blood glucose meter with Bluetooth Low Energy technology that the meter communicates to smartphones wirelessly. The ReliOn Premier BLU BGMS has a target range indicator that upon consulting with a healthcare professional, users have the option to activate the function that displays blood glucose measurement results on a colored backlight display. By default, this indicator function is set to OFF. However, it is recommended that users consult with a healthcare professional to determine the target range for their individual needs.

Dear H.S. Yoo:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
