MULTIPLE SITE TESTING EVALUATION:

Forty-one persons with diabetes, in steady state for glucose, performed self-capillary blood glucose assays using the Ascensia® BREEZE ™ System and one test strip lot (Lot A). A fingerstick was performed with the MICROLET ® Adjustable Lancing Device. Samples from the palm, forearm, thigh and abdomen were obtained using the MICROLET ® VACULANCE Lancing Device. Ascensia® BREEZE ™ results from the multiple sites were compared to those obtained from the finger. The blood glucose range for the fingerstick measurements was

3.3to 13.6 mmol/L, with an average of 7.5 mmol/L. The hematocrit range was 38 to 53%, with an average of 45%.
