## Indications for Use

The LifeScan SureStepPro blood glucose monitoring system is intended for quantitative measurement of glucose in a sample of whole blood. It can be used in a clinical setting to measure glucose in arterial, venous, and capillary samples in both adults and neonates. It can also be used by lay persons for capillary blood glucose monitoring in the home.

## Device Story

System comprises glucose reagent test strips, reflectance photometer, and quality control solutions; optional data management system for hospital tracking. Device measures glucose via reflectance photometry; provides quantitative blood glucose results. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals and in home settings by lay users. Output assists in glucose monitoring and clinical decision-making for diabetes management.

## Technological Characteristics

Reflectance photometer; glucose reagent test strips; quality control solutions. System utilizes glucose oxidase chemistry. Includes data management system for hospital tracking.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- LifeScan SureStep® Blood Glucose Monitoring System
- LifeScan ONE TOUCH® II Hospital Blood Glucose Monitoring System
