User Performance Evaluation of Four Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems Applying ISO 15197:2013 Accuracy Criteria and Calculation of Insulin Dosing Errors

Abstract

IntroductionThe international standard ISO 15197:2013 requires a user performance evaluation to assess if intended users are able to obtain accurate blood glucose measurement results with a self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) system. In this study, user performance was evaluated for four SMBG systems on the basis of ISO 15197:2013, and possibly related insulin dosing errors were calculated. Additionally, accuracy was assessed in the hands of study personnel.MethodsAccu-Chek® Performa Connect (A), Contour® plus ONE (B), FreeStyle Optium Neo (C), and OneTouch Select® Plus (D) were evaluated with one test strip lot. After familiarization with the systems, subjects collected a capillary blood sample and performed an SMBG measurement. Study personnel observed the subjects’ measurement technique. Then, study personnel performed SMBG measurements and comparison measurements. Number and percentage of SMBG measurements within ± 15 mg/dl and ± 15% of the comparison measurements at glucose concentrations < 100 and ≥ 100 mg/dl, respectively, were calculated. In addition, insulin dosing errors were modelled.ResultsIn the hands of lay-users three systems fulfilled ISO 15197:2013 accuracy criteria with the investigated test strip lot showing 96% (A), 100% (B), and 98% (C) of results within the defined limits. All systems fulfilled minimum accuracy criteria in the hands of study personnel [99% (A), 100% (B), 99.5% (C), 96% (D)]. Measurements with all four systems were within zones of the consensus error grid and surveillance error grid associated with no or minimal risk. Regarding calculated insulin dosing errors, all 99% ranges were between dosing errors of − 2.7 and + 1.4 units for measurements in the hands of lay-users and between − 2.5 and + 1.4 units for study personnel. Frequent lay-user errors were not checking the test strips’ expiry date and applying blood incorrectly.ConclusionsData obtained in this study show that not all available SMBG systems complied with ISO 15197:2013 accuracy criteria when measurements were performed by lay-users.Trial RegistrationThe study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02916576).FundingAscensia Diabetes Care Deutschland GmbH.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s13300-018-0392-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Factors affecting the choice and usage of glucometers in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus

“…Ответы пациентов свидетельствуют о хорошей обеспеченности глюкометрами детей и подростков с СД1. Наиболее популярны глюкометры торговых марок Контур, УанТач и Акку-Чек -современные приборы, характеристики которых неоднократно сравнивались в различных исследованиях [4][5][6].…”

“…Но использование подобных программ в Российской Федерации стало общедоступно лишь после 2018 г., когда на рынок вышел глюкометр Контур Плюс Уан с первым в России мобильным приложением для глюкометра Contour Diabetes (Контур Диабитис). Использование приложения Contour Diabetes позволяет не только фиксировать в электронном дневнике результаты измерения гликемии, проводимые сопряженным с приложением глюкометром Контур Плюс Уан, но и вносить дополнительные сведения о приемах пищи, физических нагрузках, лекарственных препаратах, устанавливать индивидуальный целевой диапазон, формировать отчеты, пересылать их по электронной почте 5 .…”

Effect of glucose on reduced glutathione level in Malay uncomplicated type 2 diabetes patients

“…It shows that the effect of the medication can be ignored. Related to the use of the ACCU-CHECK ® kit, it has been shown to have comparable performance with standard laboratory assay [21,22] and relatively superior to other blood glucose self-monitoring test [23] while also being simplistic. This self-monitoring device were also used were frequently used in various research to measure blood glucose in the diabetic patients [24][25][26].…”

“…The accuracy of SMBG values measured with the FreeStyle Precision glucose strips (which used the same system as the FreeStyle Optium) has been clarified by the manufacturing company (https://freestylediabetes.co. uk/images/uploads/documents/White_Paper__Clinical_FreeStyle_ Optium_Neo.pdf) and by Freckmann et al 8 When the patients visited our hospital, they brought their FreeStyle Libre, and the data were extracted and stored. Patients' data were collected in the usual daily life settings.…”
