K232382 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Control-IQ Technology. Classified as Interoperable Automated Glycemic Controller (product code QJI), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (San Diego, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 3, 2023 after a review of 87 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Chemistry FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 862.1356 - 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: Fast-track predicate clearance. Standard predicate reliance. The short review cycle indicates strong predicate alignment - the FDA found sufficient equivalence without extended technical review.

Device Classification

Product Code QJI Interoperable Automated Glycemic Controller
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 862.1356
Definition An Interoperable Automated Glycemic Controller Is A Device Intended To Automatically Calculate Drug Doses Based On Inputs Such As Glucose And Other Relevant Physiological Parameters, And To Command The Delivery Of Such Drug Doses From A Connected Infusion Pump. Interoperable Automated Glycemic Controllers Are Designed To Reliably And Securely Communicate With Digitally Connected Devices To Allow Drug Delivery Commands To Be Sent, Received, Executed, And Confirmed. Interoperable Automated Glycemic Controllers Are Intended To Be Used In Conjunction With Digitally Connected Devices For The Purpose Of Maintaining Glycemic Control.
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. Clinical trial data may be submitted as supporting evidence to strengthen the substantial equivalence argument. Most Chemistry devices follow this clearance model.
