It is intended for use as an accessory to LifeScan Brand blood glucose monitoring systems with data management capabilities. ## Device Story IN TOUCH Diabetes Management Software functions as a data management accessory for LifeScan blood glucose meters (e.g., ONE TOUCH, SureStep, FastTake). The system transfers stored blood glucose data from the meter memory to a computer. It provides tools for review, analysis, and evaluation of historical test results. Used in home and clinical settings by patients and healthcare professionals. The software output allows users to visualize and interpret glucose trends, supporting clinical decision-making and diabetes management. It does not perform diagnostic functions but facilitates data organization and reporting. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Software-based data management system. Operates on standard computer hardware. Connectivity via data transfer from LifeScan blood glucose meters. Functions as an accessory to Class II glucose test systems. ## 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 ONE TOUCH® Profile® Diabetes Tracking System - MediSense® Precision Link™ Blood Glucose Data Management System ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Fax: (408) 942-5906 | | Date | December 18, 1998 | | Proprietary Name | IN TOUCH® Diabetes Management Software | | Common Name | Data Management Software | | Classification No. and Name | None¹ | | Regulation No. | None² | Device Description The IN TOUCH Diabetes Management Software System is an optional data management software accessory for use with LifeScan Brand blood glucose monitors such as the ONE TOUCH®, SureStep® and FastTake® Meters. When used with one of these meters, IN TOUCH permits the transfer of data from the glucose meter memory into a computer for enhanced data management capability. 1 IN TOUCH is considered an "unclassified" accessory to a blood glucose test system, Classification Number 75CGA, Glucose oxidase, glucose. 2 The device regulation for a "calculator/data processing module for clinical use" (862.2100) exempts such Class I devices from 510(k) Premarket Notification requirements. This regulation is not entirely applicable to IN TOUCH, however, since this exemption only applies to data processors for clinical laboratory use, not home use. The regulation for the parent device (blood glucose monitor - Class II) is 862.1345, "glucose test system." {1}------------------------------------------------ ## Intended Use The IN TOUCH Diabetes Management Software is intended for use in home and clinical settings to aid people with diabetes and their health care professionals in the review, analysis and evaluation of historical blood glucose test results to support effective diabetes management. ## Substantial Equivalence The IN TOUCH Diabetes Management Software System is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed LifeScan ONE TOUCH® Profile® Diabetes Tracking System and the MediSense® Precision Link™ Blood Glucose Data Management System. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).

Conzen Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist LifeScan, Inc. 1000 Gibraltar Drive Milpitas, California 95035 K984527 Re: Trade Name: IN TOUCH® Diabetes Management Software Regulatory Class: II Product Code: CGA Dated: April 9, 1999 Received: April 12, 1999 Dear Ms. Conzen: 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 legally marketed predicate 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 of the Act. 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. 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. A 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. {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770) 488-7655. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588.
