Evidence of VivaChek accuracy published in Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology

Thursday 6th October 2016

We are pleased to hear that a paper has been published in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology demonstrating the accuracy of the VivaChek Blood Glucose Monitoring System (SMBG). Samples from 104 patients were tested with three different lots of VivaChek Ino test strips versus the gold standard laboratory YSI2300 STAT PLUS system. (1)

The study concludes that the VivaChek Ino SMBG system exceeds the minimum analytical and clinical accuracy requirements stipulated by ISO 15197:2013 across the range of low, medium and high levels of blood glucose.
