Table 2 is a summary of the statistics that describe how well data from the FreeStyle Navigator system
correlates to the results from the reference method. Glucose results from the FreeStyle Navigator
system and the corresponding results from the YSI (a total 20362 pairs of data points) in the In-
Clinic study were used to determine the correlation.

Navigator CM (mg/dL)

Table 3a displays the distribution of all the data from the In-Clinic study on the Clarke Error Grid.
It breaks the data set into smaller groups based on the glucose value reported by the YSI. For each of
these smaller groups, the table shows what percentage of data fall into dierent zones of the grid.

*N/A means that the Clarke Error Grid does not consider the possibility of these zones in that
concentration range.
Table 3b displays the same data as in table 3a on the Continuous Glucose-Error Grid. is is
a modied error grid that is designed to evaluate the clinical accuracy of continuous glucose
monitoring systems based on both glucose data points in time and the rate of change of glucose.
