Altitude Evaluation
Performance was evaluated at an altitude of 3,048 meters.
Fifty-six samples were obtained from 54 different subjects
with diabetes. Three reagent lots were used with the
Ascensia™ C
ONTOUR™ System to measure each subject’s
capillary blood glucose. After performing the Meter assays,
additional capillary blood was collected for a comparative
blood glucose (Yellow Springs Instruments Analyzer) and
hematocrit determination. The glucose range of the samples
was 2.5 to 26.9 mmol/L, with an average concentration of
8.4 mmol/L. The hematocrit range was 38 to 60%, with a
mean of 48%.
