The software is designed for multiple users use and only compatible with personal computer. It's not compatible with other devices such as PDAs or smartphones.

## Device Story

BroadMaster HealthCare System is PC-based software for diabetes management; collects raw blood glucose data via USB from compatible BroadMaster Biotech glucose meters; stores data in local database under user profiles; transforms raw data into trend graphs and reports; exports data to .csv files; allows configuration of meter date, time, and alarms; used by patients in home settings; provides visual data representation to assist in diabetes management decisions.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing verified data upload accuracy (100%) and meter memory rollover across Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Human factors study (n=36, ages 48-88) evaluated software installation, data syncing, transmission, and report generation. Participant-generated reports matched stored meter data in 100% of cases. Usability survey (14 items) yielded average response rate of 3.86 (>3 criterion).

## Technological Characteristics

PC-based software; requires USB connectivity to compatible glucose meters. Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Minimum requirements: 1GHz Pentium processor, 256MB RAM, 600MB hard drive space, 1024x768 resolution. Standards: IEC 601-1-4, IEC 60601-1-4, IEC 62304, ISO 13485:2009.

## 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.
