The EDGE Blood Lactate Test Kit comes with a Hardware Meter Checker which can help ensure that the electronics in the meter are working properly. This test should be done on a brand-new meter, or when the performance of the meter needs to be confirmed. For additional accuracy verification, the optional EDGE Control Solution may be purchased.
Hospitals and biomedical facilities rely on The EDGE Lactate Meter`s laboratory-accurate results, while professional athletes and collegiate sports teams use our meter to train and perform at peak levels of performance. See a list of teams and medical facilities who trust EDGE Lactate products.

Accuracy describes how well the readings from a testing system (meter and test strips) agree with the readings from an accepted reference system (laboratory analyzer), and the coefficient of determination evaluates how much of the variability exists in actual tested values. Independent laboratories have found the EDGE meter to be highly accurate, and an extensive test of 416 data points shows a coefficient of determination of 0.9729.
Precision describes how consistent readings are from the same test system and the coefficient of variation evaluates the relative closeness of the tested results. Three sets of EDGE test strips were used for within-run and between-run precision studies. Venous blood in heparin tubes was spiked to 4 concentrations. As seen in the following table, the coefficient of variation is less than 5% across all testing, and less than 1.6% above 69.2 mg/dL.
