•
If your blood glucose is below 5.55mmol/L (100 mg/dL), your results generally
should fall within ±0.83mmol/L (±15 mg/dL) of the laboratory result.
•
If your blood glucose is equal to or over 5.55mmol/L( 100 mg/dL), your results
generally should fall within ±15 % of the laboratory result.
Comparing your meter's results with laboratory results periodically.
The results of the Sejoy BG-201 meter are plasma equivalent. This method
will help you and your healthcare professional compare your meter results
with laboratory test results. The Sejoy BG-201 meter's test result and laboratory
test results both are expressed in plasma-equivalent units. However, your
blood glucose meter result may differ from your laboratory result due to normal
variation. Your blood glucose meter results can be affected by factors and
conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way.
To maximize your chances of an accurate comparison between meter
and laboratory results, please follow a few basic guidelines:
Before going to the lab
•
Perform a control solution test to make sure the meter is working properly.
•
Do Not eat for at least eight hours before you test your blood glucose.
While at the lab
•
Perform your meter test within 15 minutes from the lab test.
•
Use only fresh capillary blood obtained from the fingertip.
•
Follow all instructions in this Owner’s Booklet to perform a blood
glucose test by your meter.
