K213919 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System. Classified as Integrated Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, Factory Calibrated (product code QBJ), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Dexcom, Inc. (San Diego, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 7, 2022 after a review of 357 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1355 - the FDA in vitro diagnostics and chemistry framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Chemistry review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.

Device Classification

Product Code QBJ Integrated Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, Factory Calibrated
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 862.1355
Definition An Integrated Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (icgm) Is Intended To Automatically Measure Glucose In Bodily Fluids Continuously Or Frequently For A Specified Period Of Time. Icgm Systems Are Designed To Reliably And Securely Transmit Glucose Measurement Data To Digitally Connected Devices, Including Automated Insulin Dosing Systems, And Are Intended To Be Used Alone Or In Conjunction With These Digitally Connected Medical Devices For The Purpose Of Managing A Disease Or Condition Related To Glycemic Control.
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most Chemistry devices follow this clearance model.
