Study arms

  • Experimental
    Intended Users of the System

    Untrained subjects with diabetes obtained capillary fingerstick, palm, and forearm blood and performed Blood Glucose (BG) tests using a Ninja 2 investigational blood glucose meter and the Contour® sensor. This BG monitoring system will not proceed to marketed product.

    Device: Ninja 2 Investigational Blood Glucose Meter

Interventions

  • DeviceNinja 2 Investigational Blood Glucose Meter

    Untrained subjects with diabetes performed Blood Glucose(BG) tests from the subject's capillary blood obtained from fingerstick, palm, and forearm using the Ninja 2 investigational meter. All BG results were compared to a reference laboratory glucose method. Subjects' success at performing basic tasks using only the User Guide were rated by study staff.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Numbers of Fingerstick Blood Glucose (BG) Results Within +/- 5 to 15mg/dL (<75 mg/dL) or Within +/- 5% to 20% (>=75 mg/dL) of Laboratory Glucose Method

    Subjects with diabetes tested subject fingerstick blood using an investigational blood glucose meter (BGM). BGM results were compared to a reference lab glucose method - Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI) Analyzer. BG results were used to calculate the number of BG results within +/- 5 to 15 mg/dL (for reference BG results \<75mg/dL) or +/- 5 to 20% (for reference BG results \>=75mg/dL) of the reference method results.

    Time frame: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Numbers of Palm Blood Glucose (BG) Results Within +/- 5 to 15 mg/dL (<75 mg/dL) or Within +/- 5% to 20% (>=75 mg/dL) of Laboratory Glucose Method

    Subjects with diabetes used an investigational blood glucose meter (BGM) with subject capillary blood obtained from the palm. BGM results were compared to a reference lab glucose method - Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI) Analyzer. BG results were used to calculate the number of BG results within +/- 5 to 15 mg/dL (for reference BG results \<75mg/dL) or +/- 5% to 20% (for reference BG results \>=75mg/dL) of the reference method results.

    Time frame: 2 hours

  2. Number of Subjects Rated as<=3 Performing Basic Meter Tasks (Labeling Comprehension)

    Subjects reviewed the instructions for use (User Guide and Quick Reference Guide) to learn to use the system. Study staff then observed and rated the subjects(1 to 4) on their success at performing the tasks. Scale: 1.Success in performing tasks correctly without assistance. 2.Successful with additional review of User Guide. 3.Successful with additional review and study staff assist similar to review of a specific function during a Customer Service call. 4.Subject did not perform task correctly and study staff intervention was required.

    Time frame: 2 hours

  3. Numbers of Forearm Blood Glucose (BG) Results Within +/- 5 to 15 mg/dL (<75 mg/dL) or Within +/- 5% to 20% (>=75 mg/dL) of Laboratory Glucose Method

    Subjects with diabetes used an investigational blood glucose meter (BGM) with subject capillary blood obtained from the forearm. BGM results were compared to a reference lab glucose method - Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI) Analyzer. BG results were used to calculate the number of BG results within +/- 5 to 15 mg/dL (for reference BG results \<75mg/dL) or +/- 5% to 20% (for reference BG results \>=75mg/dL) of the reference method results.
