Evaluation of Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems With Blood Samples From Neonates

December 30, 2016 updated by: Ascensia Diabetes Care

Performance of Three Bayer Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems With Blood Samples From Neonates

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of three Bayer Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems (BGMS) with neonatal blood. Blood samples used in this study were 'left-over samples'. The blood samples were from heel sticks of neonates, collected (into a tube) and sent to the laboratory. All meter Blood Glucose (BG) results were compared with capillary plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (Cobas® 6000 instrument).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 1 month (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Routine blood samples (heelstick) collected from neonates (less than 30 days of age).
  • A portion of the samples (approximately 10%) will be from subjects <24 hours old.
  • A portion of the samples (at least 10%) will be from subjects in the NICU.
  • Sample blood volume must be sufficient to complete investigational testing in addition to prescribed testing.

Experimental: Neonates 'Left-over' Blood Samples
Blood samples used in this study were 'left-over samples'. The blood samples were from heel sticks of neonates, collected (into a tube) and sent to the laboratory. Two left-over samples could be obtained from a single neonate. Laboratory professionals tested the BG concentration using three Bayer Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems (BGMS): Contour® NEXT BGMS, Contour® PLUS BGMS, and Contour® Next EZ BGMS.
Device: Contour® NEXT BGMS
Lab professionals tested the BG concentration using Contour® NEXT BGMS (Blood Glucose Monitoring System). All meter BG results were compared with capillary plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method, Cobas® 6000 instrument (Roche Diagnostics Corp., Indianapolis, IN).
Device: Contour® PLUS BGMS
Lab professionals tested the BG concentration using Contour® PLUS BGMS (Blood Glucose Monitoring System). All meter BG results were compared with capillary plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method, Cobas® 6000 instrument (Roche Diagnostics Corp., Indianapolis, IN).
Device: Contour® Next EZ BGMS
Lab professionals tested the BG concentration using Contour® Next EZ BGMS (Blood Glucose Monitoring System). All meter BG results were compared with plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method, Cobas® 6000 instrument (Roche Diagnostics Corp., Indianapolis, IN).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent of Blood Glucose Results Within +/-15 mg/dL(<75 mg/dL) and Within +/-20% (>=75 mg/dL) of the Reference Instrument BG Value
Time Frame: 30 minutes
Laboratory professionals tested the BG concentration of 'left-over samples' using plasma referenced Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems. BGMS results were compared with capillary plasma BG results obtained with a Cobas® 6000 instrument (Roche Diagnostics Corp., Indianapolis, IN).
30 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent of BG Results (Per Population) Within +/-15 mg/dL (<100 mg/dL)and Within +/-15% (>=100 mg/dL) of the Reference Instrument BG Value
Time Frame: 30 minutes
Laboratory professionals tested the BG concentration of 'left-over samples' using plasma referenced Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems. BGMS results were compared with capillary plasma BG results obtained with a Cobas® 6000 instrument (Roche Diagnostics Corp., Indianapolis, IN).
30 minutes

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Blood Samples From Babies Less Than 24 Hours Old That Produced Meter Results Beyond What Random Chance Would Predict (i.e. Outside 95% Limits for Studentized Residuals)
Time Frame: 30 minutes
To evaluate the effect of neonatal age on the meter systems' performances, the number of blood samples that produced unusual meter results out of the total number of blood samples that came from babies less than 24 hours old was reported. Studentized residuals were used to measure the degree to which meter BG results departed from what would be expected using a linear model. (This analysis is not related to BGM accuracy status, which has already been reported.)
30 minutes
Number of Blood Samples From Babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) That Produced Meter Results Beyond What Random Chance Would Predict (i.e., Outside 95% Limits for Studentized Residuals)
Time Frame: 30 minutes
To evaluate how the meter systems perform with blood samples drawn in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the number of blood samples that produced unusual meter results out of the total number of blood samples that came from babies in Neonatal Intensive Care was reported. Studentized residuals were used to measure the degree to which meter BG results departed from what would be expected using a linear model. (This analysis is not related to BGM accuracy status, which has already been reported.)
