Indications for Use
The BaseSens I Blood Glucose Monitoring System is used for the quantitative measurement of glucose levels in capillary whole blood as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes management at home or in clinical settings. The BaseSens I Blood Glucose Monitoring System should be used only for testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only). The BaseSens I Blood Glucose Monitoring System is not intended for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus, and is not intended for use on neonates. Testing sites include the fingertip along with alternate sites testing (AST) on the forearm, palm, thigh and calf. AST in this system can be used only during steady-state blood glucose conditions. BaseSens I Test Strip is used with the BaseSens I Blood Glucose Meter for quantitatively measuring glucose in capillary whole blood. The BaseSens I Test Strip is intended for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only). The BaseSens I Test Strips are not intended for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus, and are not intended for use on neonates. Testing sites include the fingertip along with alternate sites testing (AST) on the forearm, palm, thigh and calf. AST in this system can be used only during steady-state blood glucose conditions. BaseSens I Control A&B Solutions are red liquid to check that both the meters and test strips are working together properly. It contains a known range of glucose as written on the bottle.
Device Story
BaseSens I Blood Glucose Monitoring System is a rebranded i-Sens CareSens N system. Device measures glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples using test strips. Principle of operation: amperometric method; glucose oxidase chemical reaction; instrument measures current proportional to glucose concentration. Used by patients at home or clinicians in clinical settings. Output: quantitative glucose level displayed on meter. System includes meter, test strips, and control solutions. Provides aid in diabetes management; not for diagnosis or screening. Features automatic code identification, 250-test memory, and post-meal flagging.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical data provided. Performance characteristics, including precision, linearity, analytical specificity, and method comparison, were established in the predicate submissions (k080923 and k083468).
Technological Characteristics
Amperometric measurement principle using glucose oxidase enzyme and carbon electrodes. Test time: 5 seconds. Sample volume: 0.5 µL. Test range: 20-600 mg/dL. Hematocrit range: 20-60%. Features automatic code identification, 3-button interface, and memory for 250 tests. Powered by battery (implied).
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative measurement of glucose in capillary whole blood to monitor diabetes management effectiveness. For home or clinical use. Not for neonates, diagnosis, or screening of diabetes. Testing sites: fingertip, forearm, palm, thigh, calf (AST only during steady-state).
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.
