GlucoWatch® G2™ Biographer (GW2B) Alarm Reliability During Hypoglycemia in Children

摘要

BackgroundThe GlucoWatch® G2^™ Biographer (“GW2B”, Cygnus, Inc.) provides near continuous monitoring of glucose values in near real time. This device is equipped with two types of alarms to detect hypoglycemia. The hypoglycemia alarm is triggered when the current glucose measurement falls below the level set by the user. The “down alert” alarm is triggered when extrapolation of the current glucose trend anticipates hypoglycemia to occur within the next 20 minutes.
