Accuracy and Glucose Testing Procedures

Stage POC glucose testing procedures
CGM validation POC glucose testing Q1 hour compared to CGM glucose
Proceed to Q6 hour POC testing when 2 consecutive sensor-meter pairs approximately 1-hour apart meet either of the following criteria:
  • 1)

    CGM < 20% difference from the POC when the glucose is >100 mg/dL

  • 2)

    CGM < 20 mg/dL difference from the POC when the glucose is <100 mg/dL

Sustained use Revert from Q6 hour to Q1 hour POC testing if:
  • 1)

    CGM < 20% difference from the POC when the glucose is > 100 mg/dL

  • 2)

    CGM < 20 mg/dL difference from the POC when the glucose is < 100 mg/dL

  • 3)

    Revert back to Q6 hour POC testing when 2 consecutive sensor-meter pairs approximately 1-hour apart meet the initial validation criteria

Obtain 1 time POC glucose if:
  • 1)

    No glucose value appears on Android screen (due to signal loss, low/high measure)

  • 2)

    Predicted low or low threshold alert

  • 3)

    Signs and symptoms do not match glucose readings, particularly for hypoglycemia

  • 4)

    Change in clinical status, such as intubation, hemodynamic compromise, or nutrition

Abbreviations: CGM = continuous glucose monitoring; POC = point of care.
