The accuracy of the Guardian RT was also evaluated by calculating the percentage of Guardian RT readings
within 20% and within 30% of the blood glucose meter reading (or within 20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) in the low
glucose range). R
esults are shown in the following table.

> 120-240 > 6.7-13.3 1055 74% 90%
> 240 > 13.3 702 75% 89%
*For the Low glucose range, 40-80 mg/dL (2.2-4.4 mmol/L), the value shown is the percent within 20
mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L).
The Clarke Error Grid was used to assess the clinical relevance of the differences between the Guardian R
T
readings and the comparative blood glucose meter measurements. The Clarke Error Grid divides a
correlation plot into 5 zones. See the following table.
Results in zones A and B are considered clinically acceptable, while results in zones C, D, and E are
potentially dangerous and, therefore, clinically significant errors. The Clarke Error Grid zones are labeled
on the correlation plot.
Zone Description
A Clinically accurate, would lead to correct treatment decisions
B Would lead to benign decisions or no treatment
C Would lead to over-correction of normal glucose levels
D Would lead to failure to detect and treat high or low glucose levels
E Would lead to erroneous treatment decisions
