Independent evaluation for EN ISO15197:2015

In an independent trial performed by the Institut fur Diabetes, Karlsburg in July 2015 the VivaChek Ino was shown to meet the system accuracy requirements of EN ISO15197:2015.

Dr Eckard Salzsieder, independent study director concluded, "The criteria for the system accuracy according to Norm DIN EN ISO 15197:2013 were fulfilled for the blood glucose system VivaChek Ino."

  • 100% of the performed measurements were within the zone A and B of the Consensus Error Grid
  • According to the results of system acuracy 98.8% of all measurements were within the required range
  • For the the VivaChek Ino system, the criteria of the DIN EN ISO 15197:2015 were met by the study data

8 electrodes for reliability

Each VivaChek Ino test strip contains 8 electrodes, auto-coded during manufacture to provide minimum batch-to-batch variation and a unique mediator for stability during the shelf-life of the strip. The meter uses a unique algorithm to compensate for haematocrit, temperature and humidity.

  • 8 electrodes per strip
  • No coding required
  • Eliminates haematocrit interference
  • Eliminates temperature interference
  • Checks humidity exposure
  • Checks whether the amount of sample added is sufficient
  • Automatically recognises control solutions
  • Recognises a damaged strip

Temperature stability study

Test strips were stored at an elevated temperature of 65C for up to 2 weeks and the results compared with test strips stored at room temperature. After 2 weeks at 65C there was less than 1% deviation from room temperature with low, middle and high glucose levels, demonstrating the innate stability of VivaChek Ino test strips.
