One of the product inserts with the Maxima meter includes some technical language about its accuracy and precision (consistency). I asked Jennifer to put that into language that laypeople could understand.
"The accuracy of Maxima system was assessed by comparing blood glucose results obtained by patients with those obtained using the YSI Model 2300 Glucose Analyzer, a laboratory instrument," she replied. "A fine and direct correlation between YSI Model 2300 and Maxima were confirmed in the 304 blood samples with the correlation coefficient R=0.99. The results indicate that the use of Maxima system generates results similar to the YSI Model 2300 Glucose Analyzer, a laboratory instrument used in hospitals to test glucose concentration."
The Maxima meter may not be maximally sophisticated. But, especially for those of us who test our blood glucose a lot, it well could offer maximum value.
