No
The summary describes a standard glucose meter and test strips, with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No.
The device is used for testing glucose levels, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic intervention. It measures a condition but does not treat or alleviate it.

Yes
The device is intended for testing glucose, which is a diagnostic measurement for persons with diabetes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Accu-Chek Complete Meter," which is a physical device designed for measuring glucose. It also mentions the use of "Accu-Chek Advantage or Accu-Chek Advantage H Test Strips," which are hardware components. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "testing glucose... in the home or in health care facilities." This is a diagnostic test performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The device description clearly states it's an "invitro device designed for measuring the concentrations of glucose in whole blood." "In vitro" means "in glass" or "outside of the body," which is the core characteristic of an IVD.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "whole blood," which is a biological sample tested outside of the body.

All of these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 862.1345 Glucose test system.

(a)
Identification. A glucose test system is a device intended to measure glucose quantitatively in blood and other body fluids. Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, and idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is solely intended for use as a drink to test glucose tolerance, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

Device | Intended use [testing glucose in whole blood by persons with diabetes or
by health care professionals in the home or health care facilities]
Indicated for over-the-counter use with capillary blood samples only
[Accu-Chek Advantage and Accu-Chek Advantage H Test Strips]
Indicated for use with capillary, venous, arterial, and neonate blood
samples by professionals (only applies to use with Accu-Chek H Test
Strips) -- professional use with Accu-Chek Advantage Test Strips is
limited to capillary blood samples
Glucose dehydrogenase or glucose oxidase test strip (test principle) is
unchanged - meter will operate with either strip version
Meter operating procedure unchanged [The Advantage Test Strip
employs the electrochemical principle of biamperometry. The monitor
applies a voltage between two identical electrodes, the causes the
reduced mediator formed during the test's incubation period to be
reconverted to oxidized mediator. This generates a small current that is
read by the meter.]
Meter coding procedure unchanged
Test strip dosing location remains outside the monitor -- meaning no
strip guide or monitor optics cleaning required. Meter cleaning [Damp
cloth of 10% bleach solution] and troubleshooting procedures
unchanged.
Meter storage condition limits unchanged [-13°F to 149°F,
