The OptiScanner® Glucose Monitoring System has been the subject of multiple clinical studies in critically ill patients.
Clinically studied in 11 human trials including 667 patients and 10,419 paired data points.1

In healthy diabetics, 99% of patients in Clarke Error Grid zone A2


In critically ill patients, 99.9% of patients in Clarke Error Grid zone A and B3,4

In a septic patients study, glucose maintained at target 93% of the time5
