Accuracy of the Arkray glucocard 01 as it relates to the ISO 15197: 2013 requirements for blood glucose meter systems for self- monitoring of diabetes mellitus
3rd International Conference and Exhibition on Obesity & Weight Management
Background: Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems (BGMS) are an important tool in the management of diabetes. The gold
standard in measuring the accuracy of BGMS in the self-testing of diabetes mellitus is known as the ISO 15197:2013. The level
of accuracy of the BGMS results in a person�s ability to regulate their blood sugar levels. According to ISO 15197:2013, system
accuracy performance criteria is defined as 95% of the BGMS results falling within �±15 mg/dL of the reference analyzer results
with glucose concentrations less than 100 mg/dL. For samples with glucose concentrations �100 mg/dL, 95% of the BGMS
results need to be within 15% of the reference analyzer results. Furthermore 99% of all results are required to be in the A and
B zones of the Consensus Error Grid.
Purpose: The objective of this study is to demonstrate whether the ARKRAY GLUCOCARD 01 aligns with the newly
introduced BGMS self-monitoring performance requirements.
Methods: Two lots of ARKRAY GLUCOCARD 01 blood glucose test strips were evaluated for performance and bias comparison
(N=120 data points). The samples were collected from the fingertip of confirmed diabetics by trained personnel in September
2014 at the ARKRAY Factory, Inc. Reference values were obtained using the YSI Model 2300 Analyzer. The data was analyzed
using the minimum system accuracy performance criteria published in the ISO 15197:2013.
Results: The results showed that 100% of the <100 mg/dL samples (n=8/8) were �± 15 mg/dL thus exceeding the 95%
accuracy criteria. 97.3% of the �100 mg/dL samples (n=109/112) fell within the pre- determined 15%, which surpassed the
95% performance criteria. All data were within the A and B zones of the Consensus Error Grid. The overall bias was -0.1%
demonstrating a strong agreement between the GLUCOCARD 01 and the YSI reference analyzer, which is considered the
gold standard glucose assay for BGMS studies. The correlation coefficient (r) =0.98 demonstrates a strong linear relationship
between the YSI and meter result.
Conclusion: The data acquired on the ARKRAY GLUCOCARD 01 met the ISO 15197:2013 system accuracy performance
criteria, the most stringent BGMS requirement in the self-monitoring of diabetes mellitus.
