Description:
The Prodigy Voice 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.
Assessment:
The technology used in the Prodigy Voice, 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.
Recommendations:
| Accuracy Assessment | Recommendation | Basis | |
| BG | Medaval | None | While a clinical validation is claimed, it cannot be checked properly. |
| BG | Institute of Health Economics (CA) | General use | No evidence provided |
