Performance Characteristics
The performance of alphacheck CareSens Dual Blood Glucose/
Blood β-Ketone Monitoring System has been evaluated in
laboratory and in clinical tests.
Glucose
Accuracy: The accuracy of the alphacheck CareSens Dual Blood
Glucose Monitoring System (Model: GM01HAC) was assessed by
comparing blood glucose results obtained by patients with those
obtained using a YSI Model 2300 Glucose Analyzer, a laboratory
instrument.
The following results were obtained by diabetic patients at clinic
centers.

Packed Cell Volume (Hematocrit)
The hematocrit levels (15–65 %) were tested to evaluate the effect
of hematocrit level on measurement of glucose concentration.
