Intended Users of the Monitoring SystemInvestigational Blood Glucose Monitoring SystemSubjects with type 1 diabetes and healthcare professionals (HCP) used a new blood glucose monitoring system (BGMS) with subject capillary blood. Any subject under age 18 was accompanied by a parent or guardian, who assisted subject if applicable.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Duplicate Subject BGM Results Within +/- 15mg/dL or +/- 20% of Healthcare Professional Capillary Results1-2 hours

Duplicate subject Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) results were compared to healthcare professional (HCP) BGMS results (possible number of results = 292). The number of Subject BGM results within +/- 15mg/dL (for reference BG values \<75mg/dL) and within +/- 20% (for reference BG values \>= 75mg/dL)of the HCP results was calculated.

Number of Duplicate Capillary Results Within +/- 15mg/dL or +/- 20% of Laboratory Glucose Method1-2 hours

Subjects with diabetes (or parents/guardians) and healthcare professionals (HCPs) used a new blood glucose monitoring system (BGMS) with subject capillary blood. BGM results were compared to a lab glucose method - Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI) Analyzer. BG results were obtained in duplicate from subjects(158 BG results possible). The number of capillary results within +/- 15mg/dL (for reference blood glucose values \<75mg/dL) or +/- 20% (for reference blood glucose values \>/= 75mg/dL)of the reference results were calculated.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Average Within Replicate Coefficient of Variation CV (Precision)1-2 hours

The average Coefficient of Variation (CV) was computed by calculating the square of the CV for each pair of Blood Glucose (BG) self-test results, averaging this square value over the number of subjects included in the analysis, and then taking the square root.

Numbers of BG Results in Zones of the Parkes Error Grid of Clinical Significance of Inaccuracies1-2 hours

The Parkes Error Grid, developed from a survey of 100 clinicians, plots combinations of BG meter measurements against reference method results. Each (x,y) point on the grid is within a risk category, assigned by the clinicians surveyed. Risk categories (increasing severity): ZoneA: No effect on clinical action; ZoneB: Altered clinical action or little/no effect on clinical outcome; ZoneC: Altered clinical action likely to effect clinical outcome; ZoneD: Altered clinical action could have significant medical risk; ZoneE: Altered clinical action could have dangerous consequences

Number of Participants Rated as <=2 (Labeling Comprehension)1-2 hours

Subjects or parents/guardians, as applicable, performed meter tasks after reading the User Guide and Quick Reference Guide. The study staff rated the participants on their success at performing the tasks as follows:

1. Successful in performing tasks correctly without assistance

2. Successful after study staff prompted participant to review User Guide.

3. Successful after study staff assisted subject. (Similar to review of a specific function during a Customer Service call.)

4. Subject did not perform task correctly and study staff intervention was required.
