Key result
The Glucometer 4 blood glucose system demonstrated within-batch precision of 1.1-4.2% and between-batch precision of 2.6-6.7% coefficient of variation, making it suitable for near-patient testing.
Why the study?
Does the Glucometer 4 blood glucose system provide precise near-patient testing compared to the reference method in an out-patient diabetes clinic?

Does the Glucometer 4 blood glucose system provide precise near-patient testing compared to the reference method in an out-patient diabetes clinic?
The Glucometer 4 blood glucose system demonstrated acceptable precision and was deemed suitable for near-patient testing by nurses and patients.
The performance of a new system for near‐patient monitoring of blood glucose levels based on the reference hexokinase/glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase method was evaluated in a routine out‐patient diabetes clinic. The system includes features designed to overcome operator dependency of results. Within‐batch precision was 1.1‐4.2% coefficient of variation, while between‐batch coefficients of variation of 2.6‐6.7% were achieved. The new system was assessed to be suitable for use by nurses and patients.

MP Powell (1994) conducted an observational in Diabetes. Glucometer 4 blood glucose system was evaluated on Precision (coefficient of variation). The Glucometer 4 blood glucose system demonstrated within-batch precision of 1.1-4.2% and between-batch precision of 2.6-6.7% coefficient of variation, making it suitable for near-patient testing.
