Individuals Achieve More Accurate Results with Meters That Are Codeless and Employ Dynamic Electrochemistry

Perceptions of Dhaka City Retailers on User Choice of Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Devices

“…A multitude of SMBG systems are available and an increasing number of new systems are being introduced every year. Accordingly, both health care providers and patients need guidance to choose between systems at affordable price ranges 17 . Those systems include well-established as well as completely new ones, eg.…”

System Accuracy Evaluation of 43 Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems for Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose according to DIN EN ISO 15197

“…Physicians and patients are looking for guidance to choose between systems with different price ranges, including well-established systems as well as completely new systems, e.g., systems providing new technologies. [9][10][11][12][13] The accuracy of a SMBG measurement is imperative for the reliability of results and, finally, the medical outcome in diabetes therapy. DIN EN ISO 15197:2003 14 is an internationally accepted standard defining performance requirements for BG systems for SMBG, e.g., concerning accuracy.…”

The Precision study: examining the inter- and intra-assay variability of replicate measurements of BGStar, iBGStar and 12 other blood glucose monitors

“…Dynamic electrochemistry uses a time-varying input signal with multiple measurements taken under different conditions (e.g., varying frequencies and voltage) [11,13]. This allows the input signal to be modified according to the electron transfer kinetics at the electrode, thus enabling adjustment for interferences and resulting in a more information-rich output than when a fixed input signal is used.…”

“…This allows the input signal to be modified according to the electron transfer kinetics at the electrode, thus enabling adjustment for interferences and resulting in a more information-rich output than when a fixed input signal is used. The output is subjected to digital signal processing algorithms (based on differences in the kinetics of the electrochemical reactions of glucose and confounding substances under the different measuring conditions) to give a glucose concentration corrected for potentially interfering variables, such as sample temperature, humidity, HCT and ascorbic acid, which minimizes system errors [11,13]. The Polaris study, as well as the Helios substudy and the Precision substudy reported here, confirm that dynamic electrochemistry enables both BGStar and iBGStar to measure blood glucose levels both accurately and precisely.…”
