Echo Therapeutics Announces Positive Results with the Prelude(TM) SkinPrep System, the Next-Generation Skin Permeation Medium for its Symphony(TM) Transdermal Continuous Glucose Monitor...(data points fallwithin the A/B region al...),Health

Date:4/9/2008

data points fall within the A/B region, along with negligible or no D/E points. MARD is an error calculation tool that was used to measure the average relative difference between Symphony and the reference measurements, on a percentage basis. A low MARD error, below 20%, is generally accepted to be consistent with an accurate device.

Study Results

Using nearly 144 hours of continuous data from Symphony and 183 reference BG measurements from the 6 study subjects in a home use setting with self-administration, Clarke Error Grid analysis of the study data showed that Symphony had 100% of the data in the combined A and B regions with approximately 90% in the "A" region. No data points showed in the C, D and E regions. The MARD for the study was 9.0%. There were no Prelude or Symphony failures and no adverse events, indicating strong reliability of Prelude as the skin permeation medium for Symphony.
