Accuracy and Reliability of the Nova StatStrip® Glucose Meter for Real-Time Blood Glucose Determinations during Glucose Clamp Studies

摘要

Aims/HypothesisThe Andres clamp technique, which requires accurate and timely determination of glucose, utilizes the Beckman or Yellow Springs Instruments (YSI) glucose analyzers. Both instruments require maintenance, a dedicated operator, preparation of a plasma sample, and a duplicate measurement that takes ≥2 minutes. The Nova StatStrip glucose meter was evaluated for accuracy, reliability, and near-real-time availability of glucose.
