nameGlucose meter to reference method correlation [Ratio] in Serum, Plasma or Blood by calculation
descriptionThe glucose correlation is a charted value used to monitor the accuracy of glucose meter results as compared to reference method results for quality assurance purposes. According to draft guidance from the Food and Drug Administration in 2014, for point-of-care blood glucose meter devices used by healthcare providers, 99% of all values should be within 10% of the reference method for glucose concentrations > 70 mg/dL and within 7 mg/dL for glucose concentrations < 70 mg/dL.[http://www.fda.gov/downloads/medicaldevices/deviceregulationandguidance/guidancedocuments/ucm380325.pdf] For self-monitoring blood glucose meters used by patients, 95% of all results should be within 15% of the reference method result and 99% of all results should be within 20% of the reference method result across the entire claimed measuring range of the instrument.

propertyRatio
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemSer/Plas/Bld
    Ser  =  Serum
    Plas  =  Plasma
    Bld  =  Whole blood
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256

formula (readable)Glucose correlation (GCOR) = (GLU-GLUM)/GLU *100% Where GLU is the glucose result from the serum / plasma performed in lab (Units are mg/dL) and GLUM is the glucose reading from glucose meter, (Units are mg/dL)

Associated Observations

LOINC codes that represent optional associated observation(s) for a clinical observation or laboratory test. A LOINC term may represent a single associated observation or panel containing several associated observations.
