* N/A means that the Clarke Error Grid does not consider the possibility of these zones in that glucose range.
The Continuous Error Grid was also used to determine if the SEVEN PLUS results
are “clinically acceptable.” The Continuous Error Grid looks at how closely
the SEVEN PLUS readings match to the YSI Analyzer and also how closely the
SEVEN PLUS glucose rate of change (how fast the glucose rises or falls) compares
to the actual blood glucose rate of change measured by the YSI. The data is
evaluated in 3 zones: clinically accurate readings, benign errors, and clinically
inaccurate readings. See the table below for the SEVEN PLUS accuracy by
glucose range. There were 1,827 paired points evaluated.
