Evaluation of a New Blood Glucose Meter System With Capillary and Venous Blood
- Conditions
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Registration Number
- NCT00797563
- Lead Sponsor
- Ascensia Diabetes Care
- Brief Summary
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the performance of the meter system in the hands of subjects and healthcare professionals (HCPs). It also evaluated the product user guides in the hands of untrained subjects.
- Detailed Description
The study evaluated the performance of the blood glucose meter system (BGMS) compared to a laboratory glucose method. Subjects and healthcare professionals tested subject capillary blood and healthcare professionals tested subject venous blood. Two meter configurations were evaluated. The study evaluated the acceptability of product labeling in enabling subjects to perform blood glucose testing with the new meter system and for using meter features. Subjects and healthcare professionals provided feedback about the BGMS and its features.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Capillary and Venous Results Within +/- 15mg/dL or +/- 20% of Laboratory Glucose Method One hour Subjects with diabetes and healthcare professionals (HCPs) used a new blood glucose monitoring system (BGMS) with subject capillary blood. HCPs used the new bgms with subject venous blood. All results were compared to a lab glucose method. The BGMS has programmed algorithms to provide results equivalent to either serum/plasma or whole blood glucose methods. Number of results were obtained by combining results from three lots of Contour Blood Glucose strips.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants Rated as <=3 (Labeling Comprehension) One hour Study staff rated participants on their success at performing BG testing and Autolog feature after reading product labeling. The rating scale was:
1. Successful
2. Successful after being referred to user instructions
3. Successful with verbal assistance or review of part of user instructions (Similar to review of a specific function during a Customer Service call.)
4. Unsuccessful (Incorrectly performed part of the testing regimen or required intervention by study staff.)Number of Partipants Who Gave These Ratings for Overall Testing Experience With This Meter One hour Subjects completed a questionnaire rating their overall experience with the Apollo Blood Glucose Monitoring System (User feedback on the system). The rating scale was 0 (Unacceptable) to 4 (Excellent).
