Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results

The meter provides you with whole blood equivalent results. The

result you obtain from your meter may differ somewhat from your

laboratory result due to normal variation. Meter results can be af-

fected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results

in the same way. To make an accurate comparison between meter

and laboratory results, follow the guidelines below.

Before going to the lab:

Perform a control solution test to make sure that the meter is work-

ing properly.

Fast for at least eight hours before doing comparison tests, if pos-

sible.

Take your meter with you to the lab.

While staying at the lab:

Make sure that the samples for both tests 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.
