Precision and accuracy of the Accu-Chek Advantage blood glucose monitoring system at high altitude

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...

Accuracy of Handheld Blood Glucose Meters at High Altitude

BACKGROUND Due to increasing numbers of people with diabetes taking part in extreme sports (e.g., high-altitude trekking), reliable handheld blood glucose meters (BGMs) are necessary. Accurate blood glucose measurement under extreme conditions is paramount for safe recreation at altitude. Prior studies reported bias in blood glucose measurements using different BGMs at high altitude. We hypothe...

Precision, accuracy, and user acceptance of the OneTouch SelectSimple blood glucose monitoring system.

BACKGROUND The OneTouch® SelectSimple™ blood glucose monitoring system (BGMS) is a device for self-monitoring of blood glucose designed for ease of use. Alarms alert subjects to low [20-69 mg/dl (1.1-3.8 mmol/liter)], high [180-239 mg/dl (9.9-13.2 mmol/liter)], and very high [240-600 mg/dl (13.3-33.1 mmol/liter)] blood glucose readings. METHODS Repeatability in blood and intermediate precisio...

Toxic levels of acetaminophen produce a major positive interference on Glucometer Elite and Accu-chek Advantage glucose meters.

ied this possibility by performing the enzymatic assay on controls containing increasing concentrations of ACET in the presence of different therapeutic concentrations of NAC (Fig. 1A). Evidently, NAC concentrations $100 mg/L cause a marked negative bias, reaching total suppression of the reaction in the presence of 10 g/L NAC. In contrast, similar concentrations of NAC have no effect on the AC...
