Performance Relative to the Reference (YSI)
Error grid analysis (like the Clarke Error Grid Analysis and Continuous Glucose-Error Grid Analysis)
is one way to evaluate the accuracy of the FreeStyle Navigator system. The accuracy can also be
assessed by analyzing the difference in the glucose results from the FreeStyle Navigator system when
compared to the results from the YSI. Table 4a shows an analysis of the measure of closeness of the
FreeStyle Navigator system to the YSI. It breaks the data into smaller groups based on the glucose
value reported by the YSI. The table reports the mean absolute difference for the data pairs in each
of the smaller groups. Table 4b shows the same data at different levels of glucose and further groups
them by the amount of difference from the YSI. Table 5 breaks out the overall performance relative to
the YSI for the two sites of sensor insertion.
The overall median absolute relative difference for all the data pairs is 9.3%.
