Comparisons of the accuracy requirements for blood glucose meters, as dictated by the ISO 15197:2013, and iCGM, as required by the US FDA.

ISO 15197:2013 FDA iCGM
Overall Accuracy ≥95% within ± 15 mg/dL for glucose concentrations <100 mg/dL
≥95% within ± 15% for glucose concentrations >100 mg/dL
>87% within ± 20%
ACCURACY REQUIREMENTS BY GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION
<70 mg/dL n/a >85% within ± 15 mg/dL
>98% within ± 40 mg/dL
70–180/dL n/a >70% within ± 15%
>99% within ± 40%
>180 mg/dL n/a >80% within ± 15%
>99% within ± 40%
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
≥99% within consensus error grid zones A and B ≤1% of glucose rates of change >1 mg/dL/min if true rate of change is < −2 mg/dl/min
≤ 1% of glucose rates of change < −1 mg/dL/min if true rate of change is >2 mg/dL/min
