Hi all,
I wondered if any body can share their experiences of evaluating their POCT glucose meters against the laboratory that will satisfy the ISO 15198 or 22870 standard. I am having difficulty with this as there are issues:
1. Sample type - the evaluation should be done on a like for like basis e.g capillary sample (POCT) vs capillary sample (lab). This is difficult to determine on the lab analyser (small sample size).
2. Sample stability issues - only got a short time to analyse sample particularly if it is a capillary sample.
3. Collecting samples across the measuring range of POCT glucose meters e.g <4 mmol/L
4. Ethical approval
Any thoughts or ideas most welcomed.
