Page 28: Comparison Of Measured Values With Laboratory Values
Precision Three lots of the GL42 blood glucose test strips have been tested to assess the precision of the GL42 blood glucose measuring system. This includes a repeat assessment using venous blood and a labora- tory precision assessment using the control material. The blood glucose content of the venous blood samples ranges from 44.9 to 362.3 mg/dL and control material from three concentrations is used. - Page 29 The GL42 blood glucose monitor in comparison with the YSI. Three lots of GL42 blood glucose test strips have been tested to assess the system accuracy of the GL42 blood glucose measuring system and to compare it with the reference method in which capil- lary whole blood concentrations of 24.8 to 715 mg/dL have been used.
