Precision of System Readings
A subset of randomly selected subjects wore two Systems at the same time (n=67).
This was to look at how similarly two Systems function on the same subject (sensor
precision) under the same condition. Precision was evaluated by comparing the glucose
readings from the two Systems worn on the same subject at the same time on the
same location.
Table 9 shows that the readings from the two sensors generally agreed with each
other. For adults (18+ years old) on abdomen, absolute relative difference (ARD)
between the two Systems was 8.9% with coefficient of variation (CV) of 7.9%. For
pediatrics (2-5 years old) on upper buttocks, paired ARD was 5.2% with CV of 4.8%.
