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® Ultra 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® Ultra Test 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.
