LifeScan OneTouch Vita

Description:

The LifeScan OneTouch Vita is an automatic blood glucose meter. Its blood glucose measurement technology has been proven to be accurate, with a 2-star Medaval rating. Blood glucose measurements are normally taken from the finger but alternative site testing is allowed. It is intended for both professional use and self-measurement. This device has been discontinued by the manufacturer but may be available through certain outlets.

Assessment:

The technology used in the LifeScan OneTouch Vita, to measure blood glucose, has passed in a clinical validation study, in a general population, according to a recognised standard protocol, as published in a peer-reviewed publication.

Recommendations:

	Accuracy Assessment	Recommendation	Basis
BG	Medaval	★★ Recommendation	Recent clinical validation; recent protocol
BG	Institute of Health Economics (CA)	General use	No evidence provided
