Device Manual:
Description:
The Prodigy Autocode is an automatic blood glucose meter. The accuracy of its blood glucose measurement technology has yet to be proven to MDR requirements. Blood glucose measurements are normally taken from the finger but alternative site testing is allowed. It is intended for both professional use and self-measurement. This device has been discontinued by the manufacturer but may be available through certain outlets.
Assessment:
The technology used in the Prodigy Autocode, to measure blood glucose, has failed in a clinical validation study, in a general population, according to a recognised standard protocol, as published in a peer-reviewed publication. However, it was also assessed in another study, but the results have not been published and cannot be verified.
