BACKGROUND Portable blood glucose meters (PBGMs) allow easy glucose measurements. As animal-specific PBGMs are not available everywhere, those for humans are widely used. OBJECTIVES To assess the accuracy and precision of 9 PBGMs in canine whole blood (WB) and plasma, based on the ISO 15197:2013. ANIMALS Fifty-nine client-owned dogs attending the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. METHODS Anal...

Background: Recently, tendency to use veterinary specific Portable blood glucose meter (PBGMs) has increased. However, assessment of their analytical and clinical accuracy is a matter of concern. OBJECTIVES: To assess accuracy of two veterinary (AlphaTRAK2 and CERA-PET) and one human-based (Bionime) PBGMs for canine blood samples. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 160 client-ow...

ABSTRACT: Using portable blood glucose meters (PBGMs) to measure (BG) concentration is a common procedure in veterinary practice. Our objective was evaluate the analytical and clinical accuracy of human PBGM (Accu-Chek Performa®), (AC) (GlucoCalea®), (GC) feline patients. Central venous samples were collected from 48 cats at Brazilian Veterinary teaching hospital. Two devices each model used co...
