COMPARING THE InDuo
TM
METER
AND LABORATORY RESULTS
The InDuo
TM
meter blood glucose test
results and laboratory results are both
expressed in plasma-equivalent units.
However, you may notice a normal
variation between the results you obtain
using your meter and your usual laboratory
results. InDuo
TM
test results can be affected
by factors and conditions that do not
affect laboratory results in
the same way.
Your InDuo
TM
meter glucose
value should
agree with a laboratory measurement
within +/- 20% most of the time under
normal conditions. A result within that
range is considered accurate when
testing with the InDuo
TM
meter. However,
results can differ by more than +/- 20% in
some situations. See the OneTouch
®
Ultra test strip package insert for typical
accuracy and precision data, and for
important information on Limitations of
Procedure.
Making an accurate comparison
between the InDuo
TM
meter and
laboratory results
Before going to the laboratory
• Perform a control solution test to
check that the InDuo
TM
meter is
working properly.
• It is best to fast for at least 8 hours
before doing comparison tests.
• Take your InDuo
TM
meter with you to
the laboratory.
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.
