About Your System - OneTouch Verio Pro Owner's Booklet

Comparing meter results to laboratory
results
Results obtained from the OneTouch® Verio™ Pro Meter and
laboratory tests are reported in plasma-equivalent units.
However, your meter result may differ from your lab result
due to normal variation. A result from your OneTouch®
Verio™ Pro Meter is considered accurate when it is within
±15% of the lab result.
Meter results can be affected by factors that do not affect
lab results in the same way, which may cause a difference
of more than ±15%. Specific factors that may cause your
meter result to vary from your lab result by more than
±15% include:
• You have eaten recently. This can cause a result from
fingertip testing to be up to 3.8 mmol/L higher than a lab
test using blood drawn from a vein.
