Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results
The meter provides you with plasma equivalent results. The result you
obtain from your meter may differ somewhat from your laboratory result
due to normal variation. Meter results can be affected by factors and
conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way. To
make an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory results,
follow the guidelines below.
