Brief summary

The goal of this single-center, comparative, open label, in-vitro diagnostic device performance evaluation was to investigate the performance of two sanofi-aventis BGMSs (BGStar® and iBGStar®) with regard to system accuracy (Polaris), precision and Hct influence (Helios).

Detailed description

The main study (Polaris) investigated blood glucose measuring accuracy and intra-assay precision while the substudy (Helios) investigated potential haematocrit interference of sanofi-aventis BGMSs BGStar® and iBGStar® and partly of competitor BGMSs according to ISO 15197 \[1\] and TNO 2001 Quality Guideline \[2\], respectively. The primary objective of the system accuracy evaluation is to identify the number of blood glucose readings of both sanofi-aventis devices within the ISO 15197 area of acceptable accuracy of ± 20% \[DEV%\] for blood samples with glucose concentration \> 75 mg/dL (4.2 mmol/L) and within the ISO 15197 area of acceptable accuracy of ± 15 mg/dL (± 0.83 mmol/L) for blood samples with glucose concentration \< 75 mg/dL (4.2 mmol/L) as compared to the StatStrip® Connectivity reference method. The primary objective of the haematocrit interference evaluation is to demonstrate that the BGStar® and iBGStar® devices meet the Hct interference requirements according to TNO 2001 Quality Guideline when used to measure BG of venous whole blood as compared to a venous plasma reference method (YSI 2300 STAT Plus™) at Hct levels between 35 - 55% in terms of:(1) a mean deviation not exceeding ± 10% \[DEV%\] for hyperglycaemic glucose concentrations (150 - 180, 250 - 280, 320 - 350 mg/dL) and (2)a mean deviation not exceeding ± 18 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L) \[DEVtotal\] for hypo- and normoglycaemic glucose values (50 - 60, 100 - 120 mg/dL) compared to the reference method at Hct levels between 35 - 55%.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Accuracy of the blood glucose meter in comparison to a standard referencewithin 10 min up to 300 min after start of experimentAfter start of the experiment, blood glucose will be measured by means of the test devices and blood will be drawn for assessment of venous blood glucose concentration with a standard laboratory reference method

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Intra-Assay precisionwithin 10 min up to 300 min after start of experimentBlood samples from 5 individuals with different levels of blood glucose were each measured with 10 meters of both investigational devices, the BGStar® and iBGStar®, ten times resulting in a total number of 500 measurements.
Hematocrit Interference (Helios)within 10 min up to 300 min after start of the experimentOne patient provided blood and artificial samples are generated from venous heparinized blood. These blood samples were adjusted to five different BG levels (2.8 mmol/L, 5.6 mmol/L, 8.3 mmol/L, 13.9 mmol/L, 19.4 mmol/L) at five different Hct levels (35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%) to fulfill the range required by the TNO 2001 and tested by all devices.
