Multicenter Study Clinical TrialAccuracy of a first-generation intravenous blood glucose monitoring system in subjects with diabetes mellitus: a multicenter study.
Hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Improvements in glucose monitoring technology may be helpful in the clinical management of critically ill patients with abnormal glucose levels. A first-generation intravenous blood glucose monitoring (IVBG) system was developed to facilitate glycemic control therapy in hospitalized patients. A nonrandomized, single-arm, multicenter study was performed to evaluate the safety and accuracy of the IVBG system in insulin-treated subjects with diabetes mellitus. ⋯ This clinical performance evaluation demonstrates that the IVBG system provides accurate and safe continuous BG measurements in healthy insulin-treated patients with diabetes.
