medical device performance degradation and could lead to
inappropriate therapy.
14.Grossly lipemic (fatty) samples may interfere with some meth-

cose values established by a clinical laboratory method prior
to starting home glucose monitoring. These baseline values
should be checked periodically thereafter.
