Continuous Glucose Monitor, Implanted, Adjunctive Use

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
The device is a fully implanted continuous glucose monitoring device intended to detect trends and track patterns in interstitial glucose values. The device is indicated for use as an adjunctive device to complement, not replace, information obtained from standard home blood glucose monitoring devices.
Physical State
This device comprises a subcutaneously implanted sensor containing the glucose specific biological sensor, an algorithm that converts sensor signals into glucose values, a display device that provides glucose values to the user, and a mechanism for transmitting data from the sensor to the display device.
Technical Method
Signals from an implanted (subcutaneous) 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 QCD 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.
