Intended Use

The Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (Dexcom G7 CGM System or G7) is a real time, continuous qlucose monitoring device indicated for the management of diabetes in persons 2 years and older.

The Dexcom G7 CGM System is intended to replace fingerstick BG testing for diabetes treatment decisions. Interpretation of the Dexcom G7 CGM System results should be based on the glucose trends and several sequential sensor readings over time. The Dexcom G7 CGM System also aids in the detection of episodes of hyperglycemia and hypodlycemia, facilitating both acute and long-term therapy adjustments.

The Dexcom G7 CGM System is also intended to autonomously communicate with digitally connected devices, including automated insulin dosing (AID) systems. The Dexcom G7 CGM System can be used alone or in conjunction with these digitally connected medical devices for the purpose of managing diabetes.

Device Description

The Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (G7 System) is an interoperable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system intended to continuously measure the glucose in the interstitial fluid, calculate the glucose reading and make this available to the user.The G7 System is intended for single patient use at home and requires a prescription.

The G7 System comprises the following primary components: a wearable, consisting of a G7 sensor and transmitter worn on the body and a display device, which can be a G7 Mobile App) on an iOS or Android OS smart device, or a G7 Receiver (Receiver).

The proposed G7 CGM System is modified to allow users to display glucose data directly from the transmitter on compatible iOS smartwatches.

To achieve the intended functions and performance of the G7 System, one sensor and at least one display device (App or Receiver) must be used together. The user must pair the display device(s) with each unique sensor to enable communication and start a sensor session. During an active session, the sensor reports new glucose data to the display device every 5-minutes. The displays glucose data and provides alerts and information signals to the user. The reportable glucose range for the G7 System is 40 mg/dL to 400 mg/dL. Glucose values below this range are reported as 'LOW' and glucose values above this range are reported as 'HIGH'. The sensor has an expected wear period of up to 10 days with an extended 12-hour grace period after the sensor session. The grace period allows additional time for the user to change the sensor at a convenient time.

The G7 is an interoperable connected device that can communicate glucose readings and other information wirelessy and securely to and from compatible electronic interfaces via the following secure wireless connections:

  • · Wireless communication from the transmitter directly to an interoperable device communicating through the same protocol
  • · The Mobile App communicates to another app on a single mobile platform
  • · The Mobile App communicates through the cloud to another software device o Dexcom Partner Web APIs: The Dexcom Partner Web APIs enable secure and reliable communication of CGM data to authorized client software intended to receive the data through the cloud. The Partner Web APIs is not intended to be used by automated insulin delivery systems (AID).

Principle of Operation:

The principles of operation for the Dexcom G7 System renain the same as prior generations of Dexcom CGM System uses a wire-type sensing mechanism that continuously measures interstitial glucose levels and uses a radio transmitter to wirelessly communicate glucose data to the display device for the user to see and use accordingly.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain the specific information required to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria, especially regarding a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, sample size for test and training sets, data provenance, expert involvement for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance.

The document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA to Dexcom Inc. for their G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, confirming its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It briefly mentions non-clinical testing performed to establish performance characteristics related to the "Direct to Watch (DTW) feature" (EMC, communication range, human factors, software V&V, cybersecurity) and states that these tests demonstrate the system meets "pre-defined acceptance criteria." However, it does not detail what those acceptance criteria are or present the performance results against them. It also explicitly states, "No clinical data was necessary to determine substantial equivalence."

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for the detailed information as the source text does not provide it.

Design differences between the subject device and the predicate device do not constitute a new intended use. The subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)

The G7 GSS and RVS materials, hardware components, and packaging are identical to those of the predicate device.

The following performance characteristics were established through nonclinical testing performed on the subject G7 System with Direct to Watch (DTW) feature:

· EMC and Common Electromagnetic Emitters testing

o These testing demonstrate that the electromagnetic emissions and immunities of the G7 System are not impacted by the DTW feature.

· Communication Range testing

21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)

21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)

{5}------------------------------------------------

o This testing demonstrates that the G7 Watch App with DTW feature has the same communication range as the G7 Mobile App.

  • · Human Factors testing
    o This testing demonstrates that the representative users of the G7 System can safely use the DTW feature under representative conditions. The results of this testing are equivalent to the usability testing results for the predicate.

  • · Software Verification and Validation
    o This testing demonstrates that the G7 iOS and Watch Apps with DTW feature meet their requirements.

  • · Cybersecurity testing
    o This testing demonstrates that the cybersecurity of the G7 System (including DTW feature) has been evaluated, risk assessed, and mitigated appropriately.

Nonclinical testing results demonstrate that the proposed G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System meets pre-defined acceptance criteria, support that the device is acceptable for its intended use, and is as safe and effective as the predicate device.

No clinical data was necessary to determine substantial equivalence.
