Ceriotti F, Kaczmarek E, Guerra E, Mastrantonio F, Lucarelli F, Valgimigli F, Mosca A. Comparative performance assessment of point-of-care testing devices for measuring glucose and ketones at the patient bedside. J Diabetes Sci Technol. 2015 Mar;9(2):268-77. Epub: 2014 Dec 17. doi: 10.1177/1932296814563351. PMID: 25519295. Available from: PMC4604596.
The publication evaluates the performance of the Abbott FreeStyle Optium, though not in a formal validation.
The interferences assessed included acetoacetate, acetaminophen, ascorbic acid, galactose, maltose, uric acid, and sodium. The accuracies of both Optium ketone and glucose measurements were influenced significantly by varying levels of haematocrit and ascorbic acid.
