Performance features
1. Accuracy: Novacheck® LM-602 was compared with the YSI 2500 biochemical analyzer using
capillary whole blood samples collected simultaneously from 100 subjects.
1.1 Acceptance criteria: According to EN ISO 15197:2015, Clause 6.3 (reference measurement
procedure: YSI 2500), the acceptance criteria are as follows (see EN ISO 15197:2015, 6.3.3):
a) 95% of individual glucose results shall be within: ±15 mg/dL (±0.83 mmol/L) of the results of the
manufacturer’s measurement procedure at glucose concentrations <100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L); and
±15% of the results of the manufacturer’s measurement procedure at glucose concentrations ≥100
mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L).
b) 99% of individual glucose measured values shall fall within Consensus Error Grid (CEG) zones A
and B for type 1 diabetes.
Note: Novacheck blood glucose monitoring system results are calibrated against the YSI 2500 refer-
ence measurement procedure. The YSI 2500 analyzer is calibrated using a standard solution con-
taining 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L) glucose.
Limitations:
1- Anticoagulants / Preservatives: Whole blood samples may be collected by healthcare profes-
sionals in test tubes containing heparin. Do not use other anticoagulants or preservatives unless their
compatibility has been verified.
2- Hematocrit: Novacheck® test strip results are not significantly affected by hematocrit levels within
the range of 20–60%.
3- Interfering substances (Interactions): The Novacheck® system has been tested with the follow-
ing substances that may be present due to therapeutic treatments: creatine, xylose, maltose, uric
acid, galactose, cholesterol, ibuprofen, triglycerides, EDTA-K2, heparin, gentisate, methyldopa, sali-
cylic acid, tolbutamide, icodextrin, hemoglobin.
At the highest concentration tested (maximum therapeutic concentration), no interference was
observed for these substances. The following substances may cause deviation in measurement
results at high concentrations: acetaminophen, bilirubin, tolazamide, dopamine, levodopa, pralidox-
ime, ascorbate (ascorbic acid)
Safety information
*For in vitro diagnostic use only. For external use only. Do not swallow.
*Potential biohazard: Healthcare professionals or individuals who use this system on more than one
patient must follow the infection control procedures approved by their institution. All items that come
into contact with human blood should be handled as potentially infectious and disposed of in accord-
ance with local regulations and institutional procedures.
Users must follow applicable guidelines for preventing blood-borne infections when handling poten-
tially infectious human samples in healthcare settings.
*Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device should be reported to the manufactur-
er and the competent authority of the Member State in which the user and/or patient is established.
