Project VerioVue Enhancements - Neonate Study

UK NHS Hospital sites (between 1 and 3 sites) will be used to collect a minimum of 200 evaluable blood samples from neonates meeting the inclusion criteria. Consent will be taken from the neonates parent prior to participation in the study. They will consent to one or two blood samples to be taken from their child. If the participant meets the enrolment criteria then demographics and prescription medication (including dietary supplements) information will be collected. A small volume of blood (max 150µl) will be collected from an existing arterial line or from a heel prick that is being performed for medical purposes. This blood will then be applied to six investigational One Touch VerioVue meters (with expanded haematocrit range of 20-65%) fitted with OneTouch Verio test strips and the blood glucose meter readings recorded. Three different lots of test strips will used in rotation across the study. Within 5 minutes of the last meter test, NHS study staff will use blood from the same sample and perform a test on the iSTAT 1 Analyser to obtain blood glucose, haematocrit and oxygen levels of the sample. No treatment decisions will be made based on the blood glucose results obtained for this study. The study documentation will be reviewed by LifeScan monitors for completeness and accuracy and the results entered into a validated database. The data will be extracted and statistically analysed to determine the accuracy of the blood glucose results obtained using the OneTouch VerioVue BGMS when compared to the blood glucose results obtained on the iSTAT 1 Analyser.
