Device Classification

Product Code QRX Continuous Glucose Monitor Informed Insulin Dose Calculator
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 862.1358
Definition A Continuous Glucose Monitor (cgm)-informed Insulin Dose Calculator Is A Software Device That Calculates Suggested Insulin Doses Based On Cgm Values And/or Other Relevant Information.
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.
