Intended Use
The OneTouch® UltraLink™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood obtained from the finger, forearm or palm. The OneTouch® UltraLink™ System is intended for use by people with diabetes in a home setting and by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. The OneTouch® UltraLink™ Blood Glucose monitor may be used to transmit glucose values to appropriate MiniMed Paradigm® and Guardian® REAL Time devices using radio frequency communication.
Device Story
System measures glucose in fresh capillary whole blood via test strips; provides quantitative results. Modification of OneTouch Ultra 2; adds radio-frequency (RF) telemetry to transmit glucose values to compatible Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm and Guardian REAL Time devices. Used by patients at home or clinicians in clinical settings. Healthcare providers use output to assess diabetes control effectiveness. Benefits include automated data transfer to compatible insulin pump/CGM systems, facilitating diabetes management.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing per ISO 15197:2003. Precision and accuracy evaluated; 95% of results within ±15 mg/dL (at <75 mg/dL) or ±20% (at ≥75 mg/dL) of reference. Linearity confirmed per CLSI/NCCLS EP-6A. Human factors/performance studies at two U.S. clinical sites confirmed equivalent ability for lay and professional users to obtain suitable results.
Technological Characteristics
Glucose test system; electrochemical sensing. Includes meter, test strips, control solution, lancing device, lancets. Features RF telemetry for data transmission. Complies with ISO 15197:2003 for precision, accuracy, and safety. Linearity per CLSI/NCCLS EP-6A.
Indications for Use
Indicated for people with diabetes in home settings and healthcare professionals in clinical settings for quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood (finger, forearm, palm). Not for neonatal use, screening/diagnosis of diabetes, or critically ill/hyperosmolar patients. Alternative site testing only during steady state.
Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
*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.
