Integrated Continuous Glucose Monitoring System For Non-Intensive Diabetes Management
Clinical Chemistry
The Integrated Continuous Glucose Monitoring System For Non-Intensive Diabetes Management is intended to replace finger stick blood glucose testing for diabetes treatment decisions in persons with diabetes who do not have significant risk of severe hypoglycemia, while also aiding in detecting hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia and autonomously communicating with digitally connected devices for diabetes management. It is classified as FDA Class 2, requiring 510(k) premarket notification under regulation 862.1355 in the Clinical Chemistry specialty. The product code is QDK. It is not an implant and is not life-sustaining.
510(k) Clearances
4 matchesWhat is a Predicate Device?
A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.
Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.
Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
