Roche Diagnostics USA, 9115 Hague Road, PO Box 50457, Indianapolis, IN 46250-0457, UNITED STATES.
Measuring functions:
Blood glucose
Primary Client Use:
Intended for self-measurement and home use
Measurement Site:
Finger
Measurement Occurrence:
Single measurements only

Obsolete
Description:
The Roche Accu-Chek Inform is an automatic blood glucose meter. Although its blood glucose measurement technology has been evaluated, it is not possible to base a determination on its accuracy from this research. Blood glucose measurements are taken from the finger. It is intended for self-measurement and home use. This device is now obsolete.
Assessment:
The technology used in the Roche Accu-Chek Inform, to measure blood glucose, has been assessed, in a specific population, according to a non-standard protocol.
Recommendations:
Accuracy AssessmentRecommendationBasis
BG Medaval None When an evaluation is carried out using a non-standard protocol, no inference can be made on accuracy based on a standard protocol.
BG MDR Criteria Adults Validation with amended protocol - may require further study
