They are not the most accurate of machines when brand new so if they got a little less accurate , I doubt you would notice.I've had a couple over the years that started to give me ridiculous numbers , numbers that I knew couldn't possibly be anywhere near my actual levels. Bearing in mind that the standard is +/-15% for 95% of the tests. The 95% means that 1 in 20 tests could be wildly inaccurate. So the occasional rogue reading can be accepted, forgiven and not seen as a reason to dump the machine, because a new one will comply to the same standards.</blockquote>
