The iglucose™ System collects and transmits stored data from a variety of FDA cleared blood glucose meters such as the LifeScan® OneTouch® and Home Diagnostics™ True™ monitoring systems to a secure database via wireless cellular technology. Subsequently, blood glucose data can then be reviewed through a web portal as an aid in supporting diabetes management. It is intended to be used in a home or health care facility settings. The iglucose™ System does not measure, interpret or make decisions on the data that it conveys, nor is it intended to provide automated treatment decisions, or to be used as a substitute for professional healthcare judgment. All medical diagnosis and treatment are to be performed under the supervision and oversight of an appropriate healthcare professional.
Device Story
iglucose System acts as data management accessory for FDA-cleared glucose meters; device connects to meters via data cable; extracts blood glucose readings, date, and time; transmits data wirelessly via cellular network to secure database; web-based portal allows users and authorized individuals to view data in logbook, tabular, or graphical formats (line graphs, pie charts, histograms); data can be shared via email, SMS, or fax; used in home or health care settings by patients or clinicians; system does not interpret data or provide treatment decisions; aids diabetes management by facilitating historical record keeping.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Evidence includes a human factors study with 22 participants to verify ease of use, label comprehension, and meter data transfer by lay users. Bench testing was conducted to verify data transfer compatibility and accuracy between the iglucose device and compatible glucose meters.
Technological Characteristics
Device includes a rechargeable battery and wall power supply (100-240 VAC). Connectivity via data cable to glucose meters and wireless cellular transmission to a secure database. Web-based portal for data visualization. Complies with IEC 60601-1-1:2000 for medical electrical systems.
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals with diabetes in home or health care facility settings to assist in record keeping and management by collecting and transmitting blood glucose data from FDA-cleared meters to a secure database for review.
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.

B. Purpose for Submission:
New submission for an accessory data management software application for cleared glucose meters.
C. Manufacturer and Instrument Name:
PositiveID Corporation
iglucose System
D. Type of Test or Tests performed:
Diabetes data management system
E. System Descriptions:
1. Device Description:
The iglucose™ System is designed to assist individuals with diabetes with their record keeping management, by automatically tracking and storing historical blood glucose readings. It has been developed for home or health care facility settings as an aid in supporting diabetes management. iglucose™ is designed to connect to glucose meters and automatically transmit blood glucose reading(s) to a secure database. Users can then utilize the iglucose™ diabetes management portal (web-based application) to view their blood glucose readings as well as to generate and display reports. At the user's discretion, authorized individuals can also view blood glucose readings and reports.
More specifically, the iglucose™ System is comprised of the following:
- iglucose™ Device
- Secure Database
- iglucose™ Diabetes Management Portal (web-based application)
2. Principles of Operation:
The iglucose™ device is approximately the size of a cell phone and has a rechargeable battery. It connects to compatible FDA cleared glucose meters via a data cable and extracts data from a glucose meter. It then wirelessly (via the cellular network) transmits data (blood glucose readings, date and time) from a glucose meter to a secure database. Software used for the database enables the data to be viewable in an organized manner via the iglucose™ diabetes management portal (web-based application). At the user's discretion, the data can be communicated via email, SMS text message and/or fax.
