Comparing Meter Results To Laboratory Results:
Results obtained from the OneTouch Verio® 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 OneTouch Verio® Meter is considered accurate when it is within ±20% of the lab result.
Meter results can be affected by factors that do not affect lab results in the same way, which may cause a difference of more than ±20%. Specific factors that may cause your meter result to vary from your lab result by more than ±20% include:
You have eaten recently. This can cause a result from fingertip testing to be up to 70 mg/dL higher than a lab test using blood drawn from a vein.1

Your hematocrit is above 60% or below 20%.
You are severely dehydrated.

Comparing Your Meter Results To Those Taken From Another Meter:
Comparing your blood glucose test results taken with this meter to your results taken from a different meter is not recommended. Results may differ between meters and are not a useful measure of whether your meter is working properly.
