Glucose meter that display and analysis through the data transmission to the moveable devices.
Key Points of Technical Requirement:
1. Product naming requirements
2. Product structure and components
3. Product working principle or mechanism
4. The registration unit principle and examples
Glucometer registration unit partition is subject to product working principle, the structural components, performance index and applicable scope.
- Technical structure---If the technical structure is different, the products should be in the different registration units.
- Performance index---If the performance index has big difference, the products should be in the different registration units.
6. Product applicable scope or intended use, contraindication
7. Product main risk
8. The main performance index that should be included by the product technical requirements
9. The same registration unit test means these products have certain principles and examples.
10. Product production and manufacturing related requirements
11. Product clinical evaluation detailed requirements.
The clinical evaluation should be subject to ‘Medical Device Clinical Evaluation Technical Guideline’ (CFDA 12th Notification attachment, 2014).
12. Product adverse events record
