Indications for Use
The SweetSpot Diabetes Data Management Service is intended for use in in clinical settings by both patients and healthcare professionals to assist people with diabetes and their healthcare professionals in the review, analysis and evaluation of historical blood glucose test results to support effective diabetes management. It is intended for use as an accessory to blood glucose meters with data interface capabilities.
Device Story
SweetSpot Diabetes Data Management Service is a web-based SaaS platform for diabetes management. It retrieves historical blood glucose data from various manufacturers' meters via a 'Fetch Utility' and device-specific cables. Input data is processed and stored on remote cloud servers. The system provides three access points: Front-Office Kiosk (patient-operated), Back-Office Kiosk (HCP-operated), and Back-Office Web Application (HCP-operated). The service consolidates data from multiple meters into a standardized report format. HCPs use these reports to monitor patient glucose levels, simplify clinical decision-making, and improve workflow efficiency. The system benefits patients by facilitating data sharing with clinicians and potentially increasing adherence to meter usage.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of bench testing to verify data transfer compatibility and accuracy between meters and the software, and a human factors study (n=21) to verify ease of use, label comprehension, and meter data transfer by lay users.
Technological Characteristics
Web-based SaaS platform utilizing cloud computing for data storage and processing. Interfaces with blood glucose meters via device-specific cables. Compatible with PC and Mac OS. Software-based data retrieval and report generation. Usability testing conducted per ISO 15197:2003.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with diabetes and healthcare professionals to assist in the review, analysis, and evaluation of historical blood glucose test results to support diabetes management. Used as an accessory to blood glucose meters with data interface capabilities.
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.

# 510(k) SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION DECISION SUMMARY INSTRUMENT ONLY TEMPLATE
A. 510(k) Number:
k111509
B. Purpose for Submission:
New submission for an accessory data management software application for cleared glucose meters
C. Manufacturer and Instrument Name:
SweetSpot Diabetes Care, Inc.
SweetSpot Diabetes Data Management Service
D. Type of Test or Tests performed:
Diabetes data management system
E. System Descriptions:
1. Device Description:
The SweetSpot Service allows patients or healthcare professionals to download data from blood glucose meters (BGM) and generates a report from the downloaded data, which is delivered to the healthcare professional for use in patient management. The Service is comprised of three different types of data retrieval stations, a Fetch Utility, a data processing and storage platform, report generation software, and an information delivery service.
2. Principles of Operation:
The Service is Microsoft Windows and Apple OSX compatible, and is delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS) over the internet. The Service centrally manages data and activities through multiple, loosely-coupled units of functionality.
The SweetSpot Service is comprised of 3 subsystems: Kiosk, Fetch Utility, and SweetSpot Platform. The Fetch Utility resides on a Kiosk and is updated from the Platform as needed. If the Back-Office Web Application is used, the Fetch Utility is called from the Platform for each instance of use (it does not reside on a standalone computer). The Platform resides on web.
3. Modes of Operation:
Does the applicant's device contain the ability to transmit data to a computer, webserver, or mobile device?
Yes ☐ X or No ☐

Does the applicant’s device transmit data to a computer, webserver, or mobile device using wireless transmission?
Yes ☐ or No ☑
If a BGM uses wireless or Bluetooth® communication, the Kiosk is capable of detecting these signals and downloading the BGM data using 802.11(g) or Bluetooth® 2.1 protocols.
The SweetSpot Service operates in the following manner:
- The patient or clinician “checks-in” (downloads) BGM data
- The BGM data are sent to the SweetSpot Platform on the Web
- The SweetSpot Platform performs various data processing steps on the BGM data
- The SweetSpot Platform generates a report from the BGM data
- The SweetSpot Service delivers the report to the clinician, and to the patient if requested
