Telcare®Blood Glucose Monitoring System
®
The Telcare Blood Glucose Monitoring system is intended for the
quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood
samples drawn from the ngertips, forearm, or palm. It is intended
for lay use by persons with diabetes to aid in diabetes management.
It is indicated for use at home (over the counter [OTC]) and should be
used only by a single patient and should not be shared. Test results are
plasma-calibrated for easy comparison to clinical laboratory methods.
Testing is done outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use). The Telcare
Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of the Telcare BGM®Blood
Glucose Meter, Telcare Blood Glucose Test Strips, and Telcare Glucose
Control Solutions. The Telcare Blood Glucose Monitoring system is not
indicated for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes or for neonatal
use. Palm and forearm testing should be done only during steady-state
times when glucose is not changing rapidly. The Telcare BGM Blood
Glucose Meter uses cellular data transmission to send test results to
Telcare’s remote database, Telserve, and to receive messages from
Telserve. The Telcare Blood Glucose Monitoring System is not intended
to provide automated treatment guidance or decisions, nor is it to be
used as a substitute for professional healthcare judgment.
