Hematocrit (HCT) Interference and Correction

Diabetic test strips measure blood glucose levels. But what affects their accuracy? Hematocrit (HCT) levels do. HCT interferes with test results. Manufacturers must correct for HCT interference. This ensures reliable glucose readings. Key players like Roche, Abbott, and Bayer develop technologies to address HCT interference. Their innovations improve test strip accuracy. Research highlights the importance of HCT correction in diabetic care.
