Abstract
A data set comprising 28 533 oxygen partial pressure (pO2) values gathered from nonarterialized fingertip capillary blood samples of a large diabetes population is reported. Data were gathered routinely as part of the ongoing clinical surveillance activities of a blood glucose monitoring (BGM) system manufacturer. Overall, a mean pO2 level of 75.3 mm Hg was recorded, with a standard deviation (SD) of 10.6 mm Hg and a range of 27.7 to 151.5 mm Hg. This data set, unique in terms of size, gathered more than 14 years at four separate clinical sites, provides a robust and comprehensive representation of an unmanipulated pO2 fingertip capillary sample distribution, which should be of interest for physiological reasons, but also from a medical device development perspective, in which the effect of pO2 on device performance may be an important design consideration.
