Blood glucose
Primary Client Use:
Intended for self-measurement and home use
Measurement Site:
Upper Arm or Abdomen

Description:
The Abbott FreeStyle Navigator is an automatic blood glucose meter. Although its blood glucose measurement technology has been evaluated, it is not possible to base a determination on its accuracy from this research. Measurements are taken from the upper arm or abdomen. It is intended for self-measurement and home use.
Assessment:
The technology used in the Abbott FreeStyle Navigator, to measure blood glucose, has failed in clinical validation studies, in general and specific populations, according to recognised standard protocols, as published in peer-reviewed publications. It has also been assessed, in general and specific populations, according to non-standard protocols.
Recommendations:

BG Medaval None When an evaluation is carried out using a non-standard protocol, no inference can be made on accuracy based on a standard protocol.

15197:2013 - Fail Critically ill patients

The authors conclude that the analytical accuracy of the FreeStyle Navigator I in critically ill patients was suboptimal and that clinical accuracy did not meet the required standards and was considerably lower in hyperglycaemic and hypoglycaemic ranges.

Measurements from the Abbott FreeStyle Navigator are compared to those from the Abbott FreeStyle Lite, though not in a formal validation.

Fingerstick and wired-enzyme technologies are compared.
