Abstract
Background Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) systems are
expected to be accurate and provide reliable results. The international
standard ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 15197:2013 is
widely accepted for the accuracy evaluation for SMBG systems. Accuracy
evaluation was performed for 5 different SMBG systems in patients from
multi-departments at the hospital.
Method A total of 120 patients from Changzhou Second People’s
Hospital (Changzhou, China) were randomized and enrolled in the study.
Accuracy evaluation was performed for 5 different SMBG systems: Gold AQ
(Sinocare), Freestyle Optium Xceed (Abbott), Contour TS (Bayer), OneTouch
Ultra (J&J) and Accu-Chek Performa (Roche). For each system,
comparison measurements were performed with YSI 2300 STAT PLUS Glucose and
Lactate Analyzer and Roche Cobas 8000 Modular Analyzer.
Results All 5 systems showed that 100% of results fall within
consensus error grid Zones A and B. Compared with YSI 2300 or Roche Cobas
8000 Modular Analyzer, Gold AQ system showed the highest accuracy. The
linearity analysis also showed that Gold AQ had the highest correlation
coefficient.
Conclusion Compared with other SMBG systems, Gold AQ Glucose
Monitoring System manufactured by Sinocare Inc. had the highest accuracy in
measuring blood glucose level in patients from multi-departments at this
hospital.
