2/3s of commercially available blood glucometers don't meet FDA accuracy standards, study finds
In a triple-blinded, multisite, independent study, researchers have found that only one third of commercially available FDA-cleared blood glucose meters in the United States could consistently perform to an accuracy standard close to, but actually more lenient than, the FDA’s. Of the 18 BCGs tested, only six were consistently accurate in each of three test sites. Five were compliant in two out of three sites, three in just one, and four failed in all three sites.
