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.
