The Glucocard R W Onyx Blood Glucose Monitoring System was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on April 10, 2019. Manufactured by Arkray Factory, it is classified as a Class 2 medical device.

What It Is

The Glucocard R W Onyx is a blood glucose monitoring system designed to provide accurate and quick readings of blood glucose levels. It works by using a small blood sample, typically obtained via a fingerstick, which is then analyzed by the device to provide a glucose reading. This device is essential for managing diabetes, allowing patients and clinicians to monitor and adjust treatment plans effectively.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • For quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples.
  • For use by people with diabetes and healthcare professionals to monitor blood glucose levels.
  • For use with blood samples obtained from a fingerstick or other labeled capillary sampling site.
  • For in vitro diagnostic use; it is not intended to diagnose diabetes by itself.

Clinical Applications

  • Self-monitoring of blood glucose by people with diabetes.
  • Blood glucose checks in outpatient or primary care settings.
  • Blood glucose measurement in diabetes management programs.
  • Use by healthcare professionals when evaluating a patient's current blood glucose level.
  • Monitoring glucose trends to support treatment decisions made with a healthcare professional.

Practical Considerations

  • The meter requires compatible Glucocard test strips and an appropriate small blood sample; users should follow the current instructions for use.
  • The usual sampling method is a fingerstick using a sterile lancet. Hand washing, adequate drying, correct strip storage, and proper blood application help reduce inaccurate readings.
  • This is a glucose-monitoring device, not a continuous glucose monitor and not a replacement for laboratory testing when confirmatory testing is clinically necessary.
  • It is not an implanted device and has no MRI-related implant restrictions. Keep the meter, strips, and lancets dry and within their labeled storage conditions.
  • Do not use a glucose result alone to make urgent treatment decisions when the reading does not match symptoms; repeat the test or seek medical advice according to the patient's care plan.
