when in doubt, ask the horse

[Guest guest]

To clarify what standards prodigy used in submitting their meters for f d a

approval I asked Tim at prodigy.

He was of the opinion but could not say with any authority that the iso

15917 was the operative standard.

He agreed that this was different from saying theat iso standard was

required in contrast to saying the f d a would accept it in consideration

of an application.

He could not confirm that the f d a has accepted the iso standard and

requires it for all applications.

He was a quite friendly person and took all the information and said he

would refer my questions to someone who might be able to clarify.

I took the oppertunity to mention that some users have noticed a pattern to

the accuracy of results that is different then the usual 20 percent

variation prodigy uses. I mentioned that as one gets away from central

numbers the amount of inaccuracy seems to increase based on the experience

of some users in a way in the prodigy as to bring attention to itself.

These users were then doing a mental recalibration to take this into

account.

I suggested it would be in the companies interest to put to rest these

observations one way or another if nothing else to ease the user's

concerns.

He agreed this should be considered and wouldalso be refering this to

someone's consideration. For both matters someone would be getting back to

me for clarification. One could not ask for anything more and I was

entirely satisfied with our conversation.
