  • Title: Pre-clinical assessment of the performance of the Glucostix and Glucometer II blood glucose monitoring system.
    Author: Chipchase D, Watts JR.
    Journal: Diabet Med; 1987; 4(5):493-5. PubMed ID: 2959446.
    Abstract:
    The Glucostix/Glucometer II blood glucose system has been evaluated in a hospital laboratory, with the purpose of assessing the suitability for use by nurses and diabetic patients. In the hands of laboratory personnel, the strips and meter gave precise results which correlated well with the laboratory plasma glucose assay, taking into account the difference between plasma and whole blood. The system was simple to use and rapid (50 seconds), and should prove useful and acceptable in the hands of non-laboratory personnel.
