Abstract

The performance of six self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) machines (Accutrend, Reflolux S, Companion 2, Glucometer GX, Glucometer IV and One Touch II) were examined using venous blood samples from 88 patients. Whole blood glucose (BG) values were measured by four machines from each brand. Machine-generated whole blood glucose (BG) values were corrected before comparison with laboratory plasma glucose values, measured by a glucose oxidase method. Based on error grid analysis, most of the corrected machine-generated BG values were clinically acceptable. Accutrend, Glucometer IV and Companion 2 showed the greatest consistency between machines of the same brand. Over 80% of corrected BG values generated by Glucometer IV fell within +/-10% of the reference values. One Touch II yielded the most reproducible results with a mean CV of 2.7% and was considered the most user friendly machine. More studies are required to examine the performance of these machines in the hands of patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
