Beurer GL 50 mmol/L
Device Model:
GL 50 mmol/L
Manufacturer:
OBL: Beurer GmbH, Söflinger Straße 218, 89077 Ulm, GERMANY.
Measuring functions:
Blood glucose
Primary Client Use:
Intended for both professional use and self-measurement
Measurement Site:
Finger and general Alternative Site Testing
Measurement Occurrence:
Single measurements only
Availability:
Available Currently
Availability according to Countries or Regions:
Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, France, Italy and Hungary
Description:
The Beurer GL 50 mmol/L is an automatic blood glucose meter. The accuracy of its blood glucose measurement technology has yet to be proven to MDR requirements. Blood glucose measurements are normally taken from the finger but alternative site testing is allowed. It is intended for both professional use and self-measurement.
Assessment:
There appears to be no peer-reviewed clinical validation information available on the technology used in the Beurer GL 50 mmol/L to measure blood glucose. However, this device appears to be very similar to a validated device by the same manufacturer, but equivalence needs to be proven according to a protocol compliant with (EU) 2017/745 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4.
Recommendations:
Accuracy AssessmentRecommendationBasis
BG Medaval None Although equivalence to another device is claimed, this has not been tested to MDR requirements.
Device Family:
Beurer GL 50 mg/dlZ, Beurer GL 50 evo mg/dlZ, Beurer GL 50 evo mmol/LZ, Beurer GL 50 mmol/LZ
Legend: Z Almost Certain
Validation Publications for Equivalent Devices:

Note: This is a provisional list, as equivalence according to EU Regulation 2017/745 (e.g. MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4) is not proven. Accordingly, these publications are not used in the assessment of star-ratings.
