Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of a Bayer Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) and four additional Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems (BGMS) from other manufacturers. All meter BG results were compared with plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (YSI Glucose Analyzer).

Detailed description

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of a Bayer Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) and four additional Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems (BGMS) from other manufacturers. All meter BG results were compared with plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (YSI Glucose Analyzer). Performance of the five systems were evaluated across the glucose range of the BGMSs using capillary blood. All testing and lancing were performed by study staff and some samples were tested from subject fingertips. Additionally, some blood samples were glycolyzed to lower the glucose concentration levels and glucose solution was added to other samples to raise glucose concentration levels.

Interventions

Study staff performed Blood Glucose (BG) tests with capillary fingerstick blood collected from subjects with diabetes and without diabetes (up to 10% of subjects without diabetes were included). All meter BG results were compared with capillary plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (YSI Glucose Analyzer).

MeasureTime frameDescription
MARD (Mean Absolute Relative Difference Between BGMS Results and Reference Method Results) Across the Overall Tested Glucose Range8 hoursUsing the overall Blood Glucose (BG) range (27 to 460 mg/dL), the Mean Absolute Relative Differences (MARD) between the BGM System readings and the YSI laboratory reference values were compared. MARD was 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 5 BGMS, thus the same number of BG test results was analyzed for each BGMS intervention. Lower MARD values indicate smaller differences between meter value and the reference value. Higher MARD values indicate higher differences between meter value and the reference value.

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 (27 to 460 mg/dL), the Mean Absolute Relative Differences (MARD) between the BGM System readings and the YSI laboratory reference values were compared. MARD was 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 5 BGMS, thus the same number of BG test results was analyzed for each BGMS intervention. Lower MARD values indicate smaller differences between meter value and the reference value. Higher MARD values indicate higher differences between meter value and the reference value.

Time frame: 8 hours

Population: 314 BG results possible for each BGMS (318-4=314). Staff collected 3 capillary samples from each subject-total 318 samples. One subject hematocrit(56%) was above the study evaluable limit 55%, so that subject's 3 samples were not analyzed. One sample from another subject was below meter operating limit (12.3mg/dL) so it was not analyzed.

MARD (Mean Absolute Relative Difference Between BGMS Results and Reference Method Results) in the High Glucose Range (>180 mg/dL)

Using samples with Blood Glucose \>180 mg/dL, the Mean Absolute Relative Differences (MARD) between the BGM System readings and the YSI laboratory reference values were compared. MARD was 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 5 BGMS, thus the same number of BG test results was analyzed for each BGMS intervention. Lower MARD values indicate smaller differences between meter value and the reference value. Higher MARD values indicate higher differences between meter value and the reference value.

Time frame: 8 hours

Population: Same number (113) of BG results was possible for each BGMS. Staff collected capillary samples from each subject as described in primary objective population description, of which 113 samples were greater than 180 mg/dL.
