Comparing meter and laboratory results
Test results with the OneTouch® Select™ Meter are plasma-calibrated. This helps you and your health care professional to compare your meter
results with laboratory tests. If you have been using another type of meter—one that provides whole blood-calibrated results—you may
notice that your test results with the OneTouch® Select™ Meter are approximately 12% higher.
OneTouch® Select™ Meter test results and laboratory test results both are expressed in plasma-equivalent units. However, your meter result
may dier from your laboratory result due to normal variation. Meter results can be aected by factors and conditions that do not aect
laboratory results in the same way.
Your OneTouch® Select™ Meter glucose value is considered accurate when it is within ±20% of the laboratory measurement. There are some
specic situations that could cause a dierence of more than ±20%:
• You have eaten recently. The blood glucose level from blood obtained from a ngertip can be up to 70 mg/dL higher than blood drawn from
a vein (venous sample) used for a lab test.
1
• Your hematocrit (percentage of your blood that is red blood cells) is high (above 55%) or low (below 30%).
• You are severely dehydrated.
• You tested at a temperature near the low end of the operating range (10°C) and you get a high glucose result (i.e., greater than 180 mg/dL).
In this situation, repeat the test in a warmer environment with a new test strip as soon as possible.
For accuracy and precision data and for important information on limitations, see the insert that comes with your test strips.
