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.
