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