Analytical validation of the new plasma calibrated Accu-Chek® Test Strips (Roche Diagnostics)

Analytical validation of the new plasma calibrated Accu-Chek Test Strips (Roche Diagnostics).

BACKGROUND The Accu-Chek Inform glucose monitor is a point-of-care system for testing blood glucose. New test strips, calibrated to deliver glucose plasma-like values, were launched on the market in May 2005. The aim of our study was to perform analytical validation of these new strips. METHODS We compared the new plasma strips with whole blood strips; results for the plasma strips with plasm...

"No coding" of glucose test strips: a roche perspective.

INTRODUCTION Glucose test strips vary slightly from batch to batch. These variations are accounted for by a batch-specific "code": a set of parameters defining the relationship between the signal change induced on the glucose test strip and the blood glucose concentration. METHODS We assessed the impact on accuracy of miscoding the ACCU-CHEK Aviva system across a wide range of glucose test st...

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

Venous and capillary whole blood glucose from the fingertip D. Type of Test: Quantitative amperometric assay, glucose dehydrogenase (mutant GDH-PQQ) E. Applicant: Roche Diagnostics Corporation F. Proprietary and Established Names: ACCU-CHEK Performa Blood Glucose Monitoring System

Monitoring neonatal hypoglycemia with the Accu-chek advantage II glucose meter: the cautionary tale of galactosemia.

To the Editor: Hand-held glucose meters are a practical solution for measuring glucose in neonatal intensive care units and special care nurseries because of their portability, the immediacy of results, and minimal blood volume requirements compared with dispatching samples for central laboratory analysis. We have used the Roche Accu-chek Advantage II meter for some time in our neonatal intensi...
