anyone know where this is currently at w/ the FDA?

We believe that Dario™ will be classified as Class II and we made a 510(k) submission for the product on January 7, 2014 accordingly; however, no assurances can be given that it will not need to undergo “de-novo” review or be classified as Class III device requiring a PMA. Both the 510(k) clearance and PMA processes can be expensive and lengthy and entail significant user fees, unless exempt. We will follow the commonly used industry practice, including those described in the new FDA draft guidelines for glucose monitors for self-use, “Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Test Systems for Over-the-Counter Use”.

As mentioned above, to obtain 510(k) clearance for Dario™ or any of our potential future devices (or for certain modifications to devices that have received 510(k) clearance), we must submit a pre-market notification demonstrating that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device or a pre-amendment device. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance pathway generally takes from three to twelve months from the date the application is completed, but can take significantly longer. After a medical device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a significant change in its intended use, requires a new 510(k) clearance.
