Performance Characteristics
The performance of Nipro Premier alpha Blood Glucose
Monitoring System has been evaluated in laboratory and in
clinical tests.
Accuracy: The accuracy of the Nipro Premier alpha BGM System
(Model GM01IAB) was assessed by comparing blood glucose
results obtained by patients with those obtained using a YSI
Model 2300 Glucose Analyzer, a laboratory instrument.
The following results were obtained by diabetic patients at
clinic centers.
