Device Description
CONTOUR® PLUS BLUE Blood Glucose Monitoring System is a blood glucose monitoring system with Bluetooth Low Energy technology built in so that the meter can communicate wirelessly to smart phones and tablets. The meter uses the CONTOUR® PLUS blood glucose test strips and CONTOUR® PLUS control solution. The meter can be connected to the Contour® Diabetes app. It utilizes a similar algorithm as the one used in the CONTOUR® NEXT GEN Blood Glucose Monitoring System. It uses two replaceable coin cell batteries. The meter's shape is a traditional oval form factor and it includes an on-screen arrow that points to the color indicating if a glucose result is above, within, or below target range.

Dear Shahrir Alam:
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 (the 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 available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrb/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.
