Uric Acid Tests
Your meter provides you with one measuring mode: General.
●Insertateststriptoturnonthemeter.The screen will display
“
”, a flashing “ ” and “UA”.
●Afterobtaining thefirstdropofblood,wipeitoff.Squeezeagain to
obtainanotherdropofwholebloodsampleforthetest.
●Themeasurementunitusedforindicatingtheconcentrationofblood
or plasma can either have a weight dimension (mg/dL) or a molarity
(µmol/L).Theapproximate calculationruleforconversionbetween
mg/dL and µmol/L is:
mg/dL Times 59.48 = µmol/L
E.g. 10 mg/dL x 59.48 =
594.8 µmol/L
µmol/L
Dividedby
59.48
= mg/dL
E.g. 594.8 µmol/L ÷ 59.48
≈10mg/dL
