Accuracy of Meter Measurements

FAQ:
Can two (2) blood glucose meters produce dif-
ferent readings that are from the same blood
sample? Does this make one reading more
accurate than the other?
Answ er:
Yes, different meters can produce different
readings using the same blood sample.
No, this does not necessarily mean that one result
is more accurate than the other.
The reasons for this are as follows:
1. The FDA recognized standard for glucose meter
accuracy is ISO 15197: In Vitro Diagnostic Test Sys-
tems Requirements for Blood Glucose Monitor-
ing Systems for Self Testing in Managing Diabetes
Mellitus. This standard sets accuracy require-
ments that manufacturers must meet before being
approved by the FDA to market their glucose meters.
