    Intended Users of the System

    Subjects with diabetes used Contour Link Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System

    Device: Contour Link Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System

Interventions

  • DeviceContour Link Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System

    Subjects with diabetes and study staff each performed Blood Glucose tests from the subject's capillary blood obtained from fingerstick using the Contour Link investigational meter.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

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

    Subjects with diabetes and study staff 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 +/- 20% (for reference BG results \>=75mg/dL) and within +/- 15mg/dL(for reference BG results \<75mg/dL) of the reference method results.

    Time frame: 1 hour

Secondary outcomes

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

    Subjects read User Guide(UG)to learn to use the system and performed meter tasks. Study staff observed, then rated subjects' success (1 to 4) at performing tasks. Scale: 1.Performed tasks correctly without assistance. 2.Performed tasks correctly, but was directed to a specific part of the UG by the study staff as in a Customer Service call. 3.Performed tasks correctly, but required additional review/assistance similar to review of a specific function during a Customer Service call. 4.Subject incorrectly performed part of the testing regimen and was unaware of the error.

    Time frame: 1 hour
