Hematocrit Interference Correction Algorithms
Hematocrit, the share of blood made up of red blood cells, can push blood glucose meter readings too high or too low, and meter makers use strip desig...
ISO 15197:2013 Accuracy Standards
ISO 15197:2013 is the international accuracy standard for blood glucose meters and test strips used for self-testing, requiring at least 95% of result...
Interference and Hematocrit Correction
Blood glucose test strip readings can be thrown off by interfering substances such as acetaminophen, ascorbic acid and, on strips that use the PQQ for...
Disruption by Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has cut how often many people with diabetes use fingerstick test strips, and some stop using strips entirely, but ...
Hematocrit (HCT) Interference and Correction
Abnormal hematocrit (HCT) levels can make blood glucose test strip readings too high or too low. This article explains which way the error runs, why r...
Environmental Interference Correction
Environmental interference from temperature, humidity and altitude can shift a diabetic test strip reading at the moment of testing. This article expl...
Interference Testing Protocols
Interference testing protocols check whether substances such as vitamin C, acetaminophen or maltose can skew blood glucose test strip readings, by com...
The Artificial Pancreas (Closed-Loop Systems)
An artificial pancreas, or closed-loop system, links a continuous glucose monitor to an insulin pump through software that adjusts insulin delivery. W...
