Intended Use
The Telcare Blood Glucose Monitoring system is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips, forearm, or palm. It is intended for lay use by persons with diabetes to aid in diabetes management. It is indicated for use at home (over the counter [OTC]) and should be used only by a single patient and should not be shared. Testing is done outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use). The Telcare Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of the Telcare Blood Glucose Meter, Telcare Blood Glucose Test Strips, and Telcare Glucose Control Solutions. The Telcare Blood Glucose Monitoring system is not indicated for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes or for neonatal use. Palm and forearm testing should be done only during steady-state times when glucose is not changing rapidly. The Telcare Blood Glucose Meter uses cellular data transmission to send test results to Telcare's remote database, Telserve, and to receive messages from Telserve. The Telcare Blood Glucose Monitoring System is not intended to provide automated treatment guidance or decisions, nor is it to be used as a substitute for professional healthcare judgment. The Telserve Data Management System - Home Use (Telserve - Home) is an accessory to blood glucose monitoring systems for the review and evaluation of blood glucose test results to aid in diabetes management. Telserve collects data from blood glucose meters such as the Telcare BGM. Telserve - Home is not intended to provide automated treatment guidance or decisions, nor is it to be used as a substitute for professional healthcare judgment. The Telserve Data Management System - Professional Use (Telserve - Pro) is an accessory to blood glucose monitoring systems for the review and evaluation of blood glucose test results to aid in diabetes management. Telserve collects data from blood glucose meters such as the Telcare BGM.
Device Story
System comprises glucose meter, test strips, and control solutions; measures capillary blood glucose via electrochemical biosensor (glucose oxidase). Meter features embedded cellular module for wireless transmission of test results to Telserve remote database. Telserve (Home/Professional versions) provides web-based interface for data review/evaluation by patients and healthcare providers. Used at home by patients; professional version allows feedback on compliance with targets. Output displayed on meter and via internet-capable devices (PC, smartphone). Facilitates diabetes management by tracking glucose trends; does not provide automated treatment guidance. Meter validated for disinfection to prevent bloodborne pathogen spread.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. User performance studies conducted for BGM, test strip insertion, and Telserve (Home/Pro) software to evaluate ease of use and manual comprehension. Accuracy and user performance studies performed with professional and self-testing using fingertip, palm, and forearm samples. Control solution testing validated system performance.
Technological Characteristics
System includes glucose meter with embedded cellular module for wireless data transmission, biosensor test strips, and control solutions. Telserve is a server-based software system. Testing included sample volume, linearity, detection limit, precision, hematocrit, altitude, humidity/temperature, and interfering substances. Complies with EMC, electrical safety, and FCC standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for lay users with diabetes for quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood (fingertip, forearm, palm). Not for neonatal use or diabetes diagnosis/screening. Palm/forearm testing restricted to steady-state glucose conditions.
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.
