Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results

®
Your On Call Vivid Pal Blood Glucose System and laboratory results both
report the glucose concentration in the serum or plasma component of your
blood. However, the results may differ somewhat due to normal variation.
Meter results can be affected by factors and conditions that do not affect
laboratory results in the same way. See On Call
insert for typical accuracy and precision data, and for important information on
limitations.
To ensure a reasonable comparison, follow these guidelines.
Before you go to the lab:
• Bring your meter, test strips and control solution with you.
• Make sure your meter is clean.
• Perform a quality control test to make sure the meter is working properly.
• Comparisons will be more accurate if you do not eat for at least four hours
(preferably eight hours) before testing.
At the lab:
• Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample.
• Obtain blood samples for a laboratory test and for your meter within 10
minutes of each other. This will ensure an accurate comparison of results.
• Never use your meter with blood that has been placed in test tubes
containing fluoride or other anticoagulants. This will cause falsely low
results.
