No
The summary describes a standard blood glucose monitoring system using test strips and a meter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device measures glucose levels but does not provide therapy or treatment for diabetes; it is used for monitoring purposes.

Yes
The glucometer measures the glucose level in whole blood which is a diagnostic measurement for persons with diabetes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Test Strip" used with "Blood Glucose Meters," indicating a physical, hardware component.

Based on the provided text, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The text explicitly states the device is used "to measure the glucose level in whole blood." Measuring substances in bodily fluids like blood is a core function of IVDs.
  • Device Description: It describes the system as an "over-the-counter (OTC) home test for glucose in blood." This further reinforces its use for diagnostic testing outside of a clinical laboratory setting, which is characteristic of many IVDs.
  • Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical site is "whole blood," which is a biological sample used for in vitro testing.

The description clearly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

Device Description

The GLUCOMETER ELITE® Test Strips (Modified) are for use with the GLUCOMETER ELITE® family of blood glucose meters. The GLUCOMETER ELITE® Blood Glucose Test System is an over-the-counter (OTC) home test for glucose in blood. The system is used by persons with diabetes and by healthcare professionals in home settings and in healthcare facilities.
The GLUCOMETER ELITE® Blood Glucose Test Systems are specific for glucose and have been referenced to give plasma/serum equivalent glucose results. These test systems provide a quantitative measurement of glucose in whole blood from 20 - 600 mg/dL (1.1 to 33.3 mmol/L).
The GLUCOMETER ELITE® Test Strips are based on the measurement of electrical potential caused by the reaction of glucose with the reagents (Glucose Oxidase method) on the electrode of the strip.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Tancos:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588.
