Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to determine if untrained subjects with diabetes could perform basic tasks with the Styx lancing device to obtain adequate blood volume from fingerstick and palm lancings for Blood Glucose Meter testing.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Persons with Diabetes

Untrained Persons with Diabetes used the Styx Lancing Device System to obtain fingerstick and Alternate Site palm capillary blood.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Styx Lancing Device

Intervention Type DEVICE

Untrained Persons With Diabetes used the Styx Lancing Device with 28 and 30 Gauge lancets to obtain fingerstick and Alternate Site palm capillary blood. Study Staff tested the capillary blood using Contour NEXT Blood Glucose Meters (BGMs) and recorded the results. Meter results could be numeric, non-numeric (ie, error messages), or not obtained at all.
