Bayer HealthCare Ascensia Contour Blood Glucose Monitoring System - Manual (Page 38)

Multiple Site Testing Evaluation
Forty persons with diabetes, in steady state for glucose,
performed self-capillary blood glucose assays using the
Ascensia C
ONTOUR System and one reagent lot. A fingerstick
was performed with the Microlet Adjustable Lancing Device.
Samples from the palm, forearm, thigh, and abdomen were
obtained using the Ascensia™ M
ICROLET V ACULANCE ® Lancing
Device. Ascensia C ONTOUR results from the multiple sites were
compared to those obtained from the finger. One subject was
unable to obtain a sample from the abdomen. The blood
glucose range from the fingerstick measurements was 49 to
407 mg/dL, with an average of 166 mg/dL. The hematocrit
range was 36 to 52%, with an average of 42%.
