Performance Over the Duration of Wear
This section presents the performance data in a variety of ways to demonstrate the performance of
the system over time during the entire sensor wear period. The sensor is worn on the body for up
to 5 days, during which time the system has to be calibrated 4 times. Typically, the system has to be
calibrated at 10, 12, 24 and 72 hours after sensor insertion. Data presented in this section demonstrates
how the sensor performs as a function of time.
Sensor Stability
Tables 6a-6b show there is little difference in accuracy over the five days of sensor wear according to
the Clarke Error Grid Analysis (Table 6a) and the Continuous Glucose-Error Grid Analysis (Table 6b).

Table 6c groups the dierence between glucose results from the FreeStyle Navigator system and the
YSI into dierent blocks (within 20%, within 30% and within 40% from the YSI). It shows there is little
change in the dierence from YSI over time, thus demonstrating sensor stability.
