The performance data for the Dario™ system was obtained using capillary
blood from diabetic patients (method comparison, accuracy), venous blood
(repeatability) and control solution (reproducibility). The system is calibrated
with venous blood containing various glucose concentrations. The reference
values for this were obtained using the hexokinase method. For method
comparison, the results were compared with results obtained using the
hexokinase method with deproteination (automatic analyser). The hexokinase
method is traceable to a NIST standard.
