Degree of accuracy and precision level of the most used Glucometers in Metropolitan Lima, 2015
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-07) Talaverano Llactas, Luis Hover; Sandoval Vegas, Miguel Hernán
The Glucotest is a device for measuring blood glucose levels using electrochemical methods or photometric reflectance, available in different brands, designs, and applications for monitoring and treating diabetes. The objective was to determine the accuracy and precision of the most commonly used Glucotests in Metropolitan Lima in 2015, through a quantitative, technological, prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study. Three brands of devices were studied: Prestige Easy, Onetouch Ultra Mini, and Accu-Chek Active. Results were compared with laboratory results under internal and external quality control. Accuracy (E%), precision (CV%), and correlation were assessed using Pearson’s r. Results showed that Prestige Easy had an E% of 12.12% and CV% ranging from 4.53% to 4.89%, outside the desired range. Onetouch Ultra Mini had an average E% of 9.1%, with acceptable CV% values of 1.50% and 1.58% in levels I and II, and a CV% of 2.68% in level III. Accu-Chek Active had an E% of 6.17%, with acceptable CV% values of 1.50% and 1.58%, and a CV% of 2.68% in level III. Correlation coefficients were: Prestige Easy 0.77, Onetouch Ultra Mini 0.90, and Accu-Chek Active 0.96. In conclusion, the Glucotest Accu-Chek showed better accuracy compared to Prestige Easy or Onetouch Ultra Mini, although only 30% of values were accurate. Only the Accu-Chek Glucotest showed adequate precision quality at all three glucose levels studied, while the Prestige Easy test had lower precision. In general, precision was better than accuracy across all devices, but none met the ideal limits.
