True Metrix® Pro Meter And Laboratory Testing - McKesson TRUE METRIX PRO Instruction Manual

McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO Meter and
Laboratory Testing
The most accurate glucose results come from using
fresh, capillary whole blood from the fingertip or
forearm. Venous whole blood drawn into only sodium
heparin (green top) tubes may also be used. Mix well
before use.
DO NOT use venous whole blood collected in sodium
fluoride (grey top), lithium heparin, or EDTA vacutainer
tubes for testing, as this may cause inaccurate results.
When comparing results between McKesson TRUE
METRIX® PRO and a laboratory system, McKesson
TRUE METRIX® PRO blood tests should be performed
within 30 minutes of laboratory test. If a patient has
recently eaten, fingerstick results from the McKesson
TRUE METRIX® PRO Meter can be up to 70 mg/dL
higher than venous laboratory results.
