Intended Use
The Accu-Chek Guide Me Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for single-patient use only.
Device Story
System measures blood glucose via Accu-Chek Guide test strips and meter; uses amperometric detection with FAD-GDH enzyme. Input: 600 nanoliter capillary blood sample. Output: quantitative glucose concentration (20-600 mg/dL) displayed on fixed-segment LCD. Used by patients with diabetes for self-monitoring; intended for single-patient use. Meter features 3-button interface, BLE connectivity for data transfer (fixed PIN pairing), and USB port. Device aids in monitoring glucose control effectiveness; results inform patient self-management decisions. No strip ejector, strip light, or pattern detection included compared to predicate.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data presented. Substantial equivalence supported by comparison of technological characteristics and performance specifications to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Glucose monitoring system; fixed segment LCD display; BLE connectivity (single device pairing); external meter materials validated for chemical resistance to Super Sani-Cloth Wipes. Fundamental sensing technology unchanged from predicate.
Indications for Use
Indicated for single-patient use for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood from the fingertip, palm, or upper arm as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control programs.
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.

Dear Ginger Emrich:
We have reviewed vour 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 Mav 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) 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 located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
{1}------------------------------------------------
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801 and Part 809); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
