Intended Use
The Accu-Chek Complete System is intended for testing glucose by persons with diabetes or by health care professionals in the home or in health care facilities.
Device Story
Accu-Chek Complete Meter is an in vitro diagnostic device for measuring whole blood glucose concentrations. It utilizes Accu-Chek Advantage or Advantage H test strips. Principle of operation is electrochemical biamperometry: meter applies voltage between two electrodes to measure current generated by oxidized mediator during incubation. Device is used by patients with diabetes or healthcare professionals in homes or clinical facilities. Meter features include data storage (1000 records), statistical calculations (average, min, max), and RS232 data port for connectivity. User interface includes 3-button navigation and LCD display with numeric, icon, and graphical output. Device provides glucose readings to assist in diabetes management. Fail-safe mechanisms include temperature, range, strip, checksum, calibration, battery, and serial communication error detection.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and comparison of technological characteristics to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Electrochemical biamperometry sensing principle. Powered by two AAA alkaline batteries. Dimensions: 120.50 x 71.98 x 25.98 mm. Weight: 3.5 oz. Connectivity: RS232 data port. Operating conditions: 57°F to 104°F, <85% RH. Storage conditions: -13°F to 149°F, <95% RH. Fail-safe mechanisms include temperature, range, strip, checksum, calibration, battery, and serial communication error detection.
Indications for Use
Indicated for glucose testing in persons with diabetes or by healthcare professionals in home or clinical settings. Over-the-counter use with capillary blood samples. Professional use with capillary, venous, arterial, and neonate blood samples (when using Accu-Chek H Test Strips).
Regulatory Classification
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.
