Technical Information: Accuracy
The Contour next blood glucose monitoring system was tested
with capillary blood samples from 100 subjects. Two replicates were
tested with each of 3 lots of Contour next test strips for a total of
600 readings. Results were compared to the YSI glucose analyzer,
which is traceable to the CDC hexokinase method. The following
accuracy results were obtained.
