We report a new statistical tool for comparing several dry-reagent strip procedures for whole blood glucose, which produce data in both digital and ordinal form, with results by the well-studied hexokinase- glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase procedure coupled to NAD+-NADH. Our use of "ordinal comparison unit" allows for a more equitable comparison of such data. These strip procedures produce biases of -2.21 to 1.74 ordinal comparison units over the range of glucose values corresponding to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, as compared with results by the hexokinase procedure, but they are essentially equivalent when compared with each other.
