Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results
The test results you obtain from your meter may differ somewhat 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, follow 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 for 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 meter test and the
laboratory test) are taken and tested within 15 minutes of each
other.
• Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample.
• Never use your meter with blood that has been collected in a gray
top test tube.
• Use fresh capillary blood only.
You may still have a variation from the result because blood
