		DESCRIPTION: 
			
			
			The US Food and 
			Drug Administration (FDA) recently held a public forum on glucose 
			meter devices to gather wide perspectives on the clinical 
			requirements for blood glucose meter accuracy and precision.
			
			Using the CLSI 
			consensus process in gathering balanced viewpoints from industry, 
			professional societies,and government bodies, this educational program will provide an 
			overview of different perspectives surrounding the glucose device 
			acceptance criteria for both selftesting and professional use, and 
			possibly expand the presentations at the most recent FDA public 
			meeting.
 
		OBJECTIVES: 
		At the conclusion of 
		this program, the participant will be able to: 
			
			
			Identify 
			different considerations surrounding acceptance criteria on 
			point-of-care (POC) glucose devices. 
			
			Describe 
			differences on the use of glucose meters in self-testing vs hospital 
			or professional settings. 
			
			Recognize the 
			need to understand the differences on the perspectives of the 
			government agency, professionalexpert, and POC glucose vendor representative based on the data 
			provided during the presentation.
