This meter is 25-40 points off from my old bayer meter. Is this meter inaccurate? Little scary.

All of these meters can give wrong readings. Today my Bayer USB told me my sugar was 0.9!! Tested again immediately and got 5.3. I think the Verio is as accurate as the average meter, unless you have a faulty meter.

When I had the Verio IQ I would see reading off by that much sometimes; but if I took a second reading shortly afterwards, the reading was more in line with what I expected. My experience with the Verio IQ is that it is very sensitive to how fast the blood fills the strip. If the blood fills the strip too slowly the meter reading would be wrong; then I would have to re-test with another strip. For me, if the blood from my test finger was cold it would fill the strip too slowly to be accurate.

Not sure only thing I can say is that I tested it with my lab results and it was off by 3 points.

This meter was my second one as the first one had to be charged about every other day. As far as numbers being off I have had no problems with that. It works well and I have to charge it about every 2 wks. So I am pleased with it. Maybe you are like me and have a bad one?? Maybe replace it?

I noticed the same thing, it reads higher than the bayer one I have also by 20 points. This meter is a piece of junk in my opinion, wastes lots of strips.

I have not had any problems with it. This machine replaced my prior Bayer machine and the numbers are within the same ranges.

This meter is considered within the 15% range others are off my some more than 25%. This is one of the monitors with newer technology to be more accurate.

I had to return mine, It was way off in its accuracy. I bought a Kitchen Aid Digital instead and it works much better.

Ours is pretty accurate with the readings our physician gets. Make sure you follow all the suggested directions.

While it reads in milligrams, it seems not to be that accurate. I would estimate it is +/- 5mg in accuracy, so if you're weighing 100mg you might be off by 5%.

I have found mine to be very accurate. Perhaps you did get a defective one and should ask for it to be replaced.

Guy has the best answer so far. Use a solution that is closest to the range you expect to be measuring on a daily or regular basis.The factory has calibrated it a 442 ppm.John

Yes, but like I said in my review the accuracy of the meter leaves a lot to be desired. I tested AA and AAA rechargeable NiCad batteries using the meter and it gave me the same, false, inaccurate meter readings. The meter indicated there was a good "green" full charge, but when I put the batteries in my digital recorder and tv remote the batteries had such a low charge in them they failed to operate the equipment. I bought two of these meters and they both give the same false readings, so either I received two faulty meters or they're just not accurate.

2032 is the battery number, if your replaceing batteries every month then the meter is defective.You can buy a new meter for less than $10.00, but I suggest you get the Bayer Contour USB, it recharges through your USB jack on your computer and the test strips are about the same price.

As far as I know you don't. I have two other oxymeters and have taken overnight tests with professional grade recorders and my meter reads accurate out of the box when cross-referenced with the other meters. It is important, at least for me, to remember I can vary up to 5 points depending on what finger I use with any meter. Anyway, my meter came accurate and didn't need calibrating so I never looked in to it.

No. I have not found this meter to be very accurate. The Accutrend Plus seems to be more accurate.

I have found them not to be very accurate. I returned my first unit for that reason. The second unit was not much better. There are better auto units available. I don't use it anymore in my office.

My advice is ring Fluke, if not, carry out your own question & see what happens, do what you're asking & the meter might likely go to some setting & never work again. My advice, don't play with things you know nothing about. CG

I bought those too, the readings with the no-calibration strips still came out as 0.1's almost all the time with occasional 0.2's just like the first set of calibrated strips that I had bought with the meter originally. I'm an engineer and don't know exactly how they do it, but nanoscale manufacturing these days is doing amazing things so maybe the calibration sample is on the strip sub-microscopically and we simply can't see it. Just follow the instructions and be happy.

In my case, just the opposite. When compared to my old meter, I get 8 to 10 points higher reading. A comparison of A1C may be a more relevant reflection of accuracy to see if your numbers go up or down.

I used it on my mother, she was then taken to the hospital after finding her blood pressure high and was higher at the hospital. I guess the best way would be to bring it to a hospital and see if anyone would be willing to help you there as you cannot expect all machines to work exactly the same even if it is a built series I believe it is accurate but until you can have it verified with hospital grade instruments don't trust it completely mine came great doesn't mean I trust it blindly, anyway I do hope my rather vague answer was somewhat helpful

I can't answer that with authority. The software is Java based and has 2 options can run off the meter or according to the manual load unto a Windows or Mac PC. My guess is the second option would require an emulator. Check the Bayer website www.bayercontour.com or their Customer Service 800-348-8100

Check your paper work that came with meter. Other than that, I have had no problem with mine. I set it for what I want to check and it works just fine. Your meter and mine are the same.
