Sensor, Glucose, Invasive, Non-Adjunctive

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
A non-adjunctive invasive glucose sensor is intended to determine glucose levels, and the direction and rate of change of glucose levels in people with diabetes. The device is indicated to replace information obtained from standard blood glucose monitoring devices to make diabetes-related treatment decisions. The device also provides historical glucose information, facilitating long-term therapy adjustments.
Physical State
This device comprises a skin piercing sensor containing the glucose specific biological sensor, an algorithm that converts sensor signals into glucose values, a display device which provides glucose values to the user and a mechanism for transmitting data from the sensor to the display device.
Technical Method
Signals from an invasive (skin piercing) glucose specific biological sensor are algorithmically converted to glucose values which are provided to the user.

No Linked CFR Text

The FDA has not linked product code PQF to any particular section of the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations). There are multiple reasons why this might be the case:

  • The product code was created for a class III submission that does not follow the normal PMN or PMA path - e.g., for a device that falls under HDE (Humanitarian Device Exemption) or EUA (Emergency Use Authorization).
  • The FDA has generated the product code for an existing Class III device, as a result of a PMA supplement that modifies the device in a way that it can't fit under the existing product code originally assigned
  • The product code was created for internal use at the FDA, and not for classification or regulatory-related purposes.
