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, professional
    expert, and POC glucose vendor representative based on the data provided during the presentation.
