Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results
The test results you obtain from your meter may be
different from your laboratory results due to normal
variation. Meter results can be affected by factors and
conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the
same way (see test strip package insert for typical
accuracy and precision data as well as important
information on limitations). To make an accurate
comparison between meter and laboratory results, fol-
low the guidelines below.
Before you go to the laboratory:
• Perform a control solution test to make sure that the
meter is working properly.
• It is strongly recommended to fast at least eight (8)
hours before doing comparison tests.
• Take your meter with you to the laboratory.
While at the laboratory:
• Make sure that the samples for both tests (the me-
ter test and the laboratory test) are taken and tested
within 15 minutes of each other.
• Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample.
