Background: Regulations and industry guidance relating to testing for interference in blood glucose monitoring (BGM) systems continue to focus on in vitro laboratory bench tests. Post-market surveillance (PMS) in a clinical setting allows for BGM accuracy assessments to evaluate the impact of real-world exposure to polypharmacy in people with diabetes. This study evaluated the OneTouch Select Plus® BGM test-strip accuracy with respect to polypharmacy using a clinical registry dataset.

Methods: Medication profiles were analysed for 1023 subjects (425 with type 1 (T1D) and 598 with type 2 diabetes (T2D)) attending 3 UK hospitals. Blood samples were analysed to determine clinical accuracy of the BGM test-strip against a laboratory comparator.

Results: 538 different medications (48 diabetes and 490 non-diabetes) were recorded across the 1023 subjects. Patients took on average 6.9 ( = 1-36) individual medications and 4.1 ( = 1-13) unique medication classes. Clinical accuracy to EN ISO 15197:2015 criteria were met irrespective of increasing average number of individual medications, categorized from 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 and >12 taken per subject (97.7%, 97.7%, 97.8%, 97.8%, and 98.4%, respectively). Clinical accuracy criteria were met across 15 classes of medication using the combined dataset (97.9%; 29784/30433). Surveillance Error Grid (SEG) analysis showed 98.7% (29959/30368) of readings presented no clinical risk. No individual class or combination of medication classes impacted clinical accuracy of the BGM test-strip.

Conclusions: Clinical performance for the test strip under assessment demonstrated no evidence of interference from over 500 prescription medications, with clinical accuracy maintained across a range of polypharmacy conditions in people with diabetes.
