COMPARING THE InDuo
AND LABORATORY RESULTS
The InDuo TM meter blood glucose test
results and laboratory results are both
expressed in plasma-equivalent units.
However, you may notice a normal
variation between the results you obtain
using your meter and your usual laboratory
results. InDuo TM test results can be affected
by factors and conditions that do not
affect laboratory results in the same way.
Your InDuo TM meter glucose value should
agree with a laboratory measurement
within +/- 20% most of the time under
normal conditions. A result within that
range is considered accurate when
testing with the InDuo
results can differ by more than +/- 20% in
some situations. See the OneTouch
Ultra test strip package insert for typical
accuracy and precision data, and for
important information on Limitations of
