## Indications for Use

The DUETTM Glucose Control Monitoring System is intended for the quantitative, colorimetric determination of glucose and fructosamine in whole blood specimens. The DUET Fructosamine Test System is intended for use by people with diabetes to monitor their blood glucose and fructosamine levels in a home use setting. This in vitro test kit is intended for home use (over the counter).

## Device Story

The DUET Glucose Control Monitoring System is an in vitro diagnostic device for home use by patients with diabetes. It performs quantitative, colorimetric determination of glucose and fructosamine levels from whole blood specimens. The system provides patients with a method to monitor glycemic control outside of a clinical setting. The device processes blood samples to produce numerical glucose and fructosamine concentration readings, which the patient uses to manage their diabetes care.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided in the document; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

In vitro diagnostic system utilizing colorimetric determination for glucose and fructosamine analysis in whole blood.

## 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.

Dear Ms. Noetzel:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions The general controls provisions of the Act of the Act. include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਕੇ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
