Comparing meter results to laboratory
results
Results obtained from the OneTouchSelect Plus Flex™
Meter and laboratory tests are reported in plasma-
equivalent units. However, your meter result may differ
from your lab result due to normal variation. A result
from your OneTouchSelect Plus Flex™ Meter is considered
accurate when it is within 0.83mmol/L of a laboratory
method when the glucose concentration is lower than
5.55mmol/L and within 15% of laboratory method when
the glucose concentration is 5.55mmol/L or higher.
Meter results can be affected by factors that do not affect
lab results in the same way. Specific factors that may
cause your meter result to vary from your lab result may
include:
đƫ You have eaten recently. This can cause a result from
fingertip testing to be up to 3.9mmol/L higher than a
lab test using blood drawn from a vein.
1
đƫ Your hematocrit is above 55% or below 30%.
đƫ You are severely dehydrated.

Plus Test Strip Insert.
