Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of one investigational Bayer Blood Glucose meter (with investigational Bayer test strips) and four Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems from other companies. All meter BG results were compared with plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (YSI Glucose Analyzer). Performance of the five systems was evaluated across the glucose range of the BGMSs using capillary blood. All testing and lancing were performed by study staff and some blood samples were glycolyzed to lower the glucose levels.

Interventions

Study staff performed Blood Glucose (BG) testing with capillary fingerstick blood collected from subjects with diabetes and without diabetes (up to 10% of subjects without diabetes were included). Performance of CONTOUR® NEXT EZ BGMS was evaluated across the glucose range of the BGMs. All meter BG results were compared with capillary plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (YSI Glucose Analyzer).

DEVICEFreeStyle Freedom Lite® BGMS

Study staff performed Blood Glucose (BG) testing with capillary fingerstick blood collected from subjects with diabetes and without diabetes (up to 10% of subjects without diabetes were included). Performance of FreeStyle Freedom Lite® BGMS was evaluated across the glucose range of the BGMs. All meter BG results were compared with capillary plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (YSI Glucose Analyzer).

DEVICEACCU-CHEK® Aviva BGMS

Study staff performed Blood Glucose (BG) testing with capillary fingerstick blood collected from subjects with diabetes and without diabetes (up to 10% of subjects without diabetes were included). Performance of ACCU-CHEK® Aviva BGMS was evaluated across the glucose range of the BGMs. All meter BG results were compared with capillary plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (YSI Glucose Analyzer).

DEVICETRUEtrack® BGMS

Study staff performed Blood Glucose (BG) testing with capillary fingerstick blood collected from subjects with diabetes and without diabetes (up to 10% of subjects without diabetes were included). Performance of TRUEtrack® BGMS was evaluated across the glucose range of the BGMs. All meter BG results were compared with capillary plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (YSI Glucose Analyzer).

DEVICEOneTouch® Ultra®2 BGMS

Study staff performed Blood Glucose (BG) testing with capillary fingerstick blood collected from subjects with diabetes and without diabetes (up to 10% of subjects without diabetes were included). Performance of OneTouch® Ultra®2 BGMS was evaluated across the glucose range of the BGMs. All meter BG results were compared with capillary plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (YSI Glucose Analyzer).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
MARD (Mean Absolute Relative Difference Between BGMS Results and Reference Method Results) Across the Overall Tested Glucose Range10 hoursUsing the overall Blood Glucose(BG) range (24 to 386mg/dL), the Mean Absolute Relative Differences (MARD) between the BGM System readings and the YSI laboratory reference values were compared. MARD is calculated from the sum of all \|(BG meter)-(BG reference)\| / (BG Reference) assessments, divided by the number of assessments, then multiplied by 100(%). Each evaluable sample was tested on all five BGMS, thus the same number of BG test results was analyzed for each BGMS intervention. Lower MARD value indicates smaller difference between meter value and the reference value . Higher MARD value indicates larger difference between meter value and the reference value.

MARD is calculated from the sum of all \|(BG meter)-(BG reference)\| / (BG Reference) assessments, divided by the number of assessments, then multiplied by 100(%). Each evaluable sample was tested on all five BGMS, thus the same number of BG test results was analyzed for each BGMS intervention.

MARD (Mean Absolute Relative Difference Between BGMS Results and Reference Method Results) Across the Overall Tested Glucose Range

Using the overall Blood Glucose(BG) range (24 to 386mg/dL), the Mean Absolute Relative Differences (MARD) between the BGM System readings and the YSI laboratory reference values were compared. MARD is calculated from the sum of all \|(BG meter)-(BG reference)\| / (BG Reference) assessments, divided by the number of assessments, then multiplied by 100(%). Each evaluable sample was tested on all five BGMS, thus the same number of BG test results was analyzed for each BGMS intervention. Lower MARD value indicates smaller difference between meter value and the reference value . Higher MARD value indicates larger difference between meter value and the reference value.

Time frame: 10 hours

Population: Same number 388(393-3-2)BG results possible for each BGMS.Subjects provided 1,2,or 3 capillary samples-total 393 samples. 3 glycolyzed samples were not analyzed - glycolysis exceeded the protocol-defined time. All meter data for 2 glycolyzed samples were not evaluable (not analyzed)- their YSI results were less than the meter operating ranges.
