The Health-e-Connect System with IDA is intended for use in the home and clinical settings by people with diabetes and healthcare providers as an aid in the review, analysis, and evaluation of historical glucose test results and associated usage data in support of an effective diabetes management program.

The Insulin Dose Adjustment (IDA) feature is intended only for insulin-requiring Type 2 diabetes patients to provide the physician with two reference doses.

The IDA feature is not indicated for patients who utilize insulin pumps and it is limited to adults with Type 2 diabetes on fixed dose regimen of insulin.

The Health-e-Connect System with IDA is for patients under the supervision of a physician / healthcare provider trained in the management of diabetes. Final drug dose recommendations for a patient must be made only after careful consideration of the full clinical status of the patient. No medical decision should be based solely upon the results provided by this software program.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
