Roche Accu-Chek Performa Nano

Description:

The Roche Accu-Chek Performa Nano is an automatic blood glucose meter. Its blood glucose measurement technology has been proven to be accurate, with a 1-star Medaval rating. Blood glucose measurements are taken from the finger. It is intended for self-measurement and home use.

Assessment:

The technology used in the Roche Accu-Chek Performa Nano, 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:

15197:2013 General population

Six devices were validated in the study (the Roche Accu-Chek Aviva Nano, the Roche Accu-Chek Mobile, the Roche Accu-Chek Performa Nano, the Ascensia Contour Next Link 2.4, the Abbott FreeStyle Lite and the J&J LifeScan OneTouch Verio IQ). According to the abstract, one of them failed but it does not state which one.
