Do any other substances interfere with the Accu-Chek Performa test strip?

Only 3 other substances in the bloodstream (galactose, xylose, and lipids) can interfere with the Accu-Chek Performa test strip. No other leading system has fewer interfering substances. Patients who take a xylose tolerance (D-xylose absorption) test should not use an Accu-Chek Performa meter to test their blood glucose for 24 hours after the test—and should discuss alternative testing options with their doctor. Some interfering substances that affected the Accu-Chek Advantage/Sensor system are no longer a concern (e.g., bilirubin, ascorbic acid, and acetaminophen).
