The C
ONTOUR
®
XT blood glucose monitoring system
was tested using 100 capillary blood samples (duplicate
replicates from three C
ONTOUR
®
N
EXT
strip lots). The results
were compared to the YSI
®
Glucose Analyzer laboratory
reference method, traceable to the CDC hexokinase
method. The tables below show how well the two methods
compared.
A repeatability study was conducted with the C
ONTOUR
®
XT
blood glucose monitoring system using five venous
whole blood specimens with glucose levels from 2.2 to
17.0 mmol/L. Multiple replicates (n=100) were tested using
multiple C
ONTOUR
XT blood glucose meters and one lot of
C
ONTOUR
®
N
EXT
blood glucose test strips. The following
precision results were obtained.

*Acceptance criteria in ISO 15197: 2003 are that 95% of all differ-
ences in glucose values (i.e., between reference method and meter)
should be within 0.8 mmol/L for glucose values less than 4.2 mmol/L,
and within 20% for glucose values greater than or equal to 4.2 mmol/L.
