Beurer GL50 evo mg/dL 

9

• An excessively high or low hematocrit value (proportion of red blood cells) may lead to incorrect 

measurements. In the event of a very high hematocrit value (above 60%), the displayed blood glu-

cose value may be too low; in the event of a very low hematocrit value (below 20%), it may be too 

high. Consult your GP if you do not know your hematocrit value.

•  Do not use the test strips to measure blood glucose values on newborns.

•  Do not use NaF or potassium oxalate anticoagulants to prepare for venous blood samples.

•  Do not test any severely ill patients using this device.

•  Use fresh capillary whole blood only. Do not use serum or plasma. 

•  Use capillary blood without squeezing the penetration area. If the area is squeezed, the blood is di-

luted with tissue fluid and this may lead to an incorrect result.

•  Do not use the test strips above an altitude of 7010 m.

•  Very high levels of humidity may influence the test results. Relative humidity of more than 90% may 

lead to inexact results.

 Note

The Beurer GL50 evo mg/dL measuring system is intended for measuring capillary and venous 

whole blood.

Storage and maintenance

 Warning

• Store the measuring device and its accessories out of the reach of small children and pets. Small 

parts, such as lancet needles, cover caps or test strips may be life-threatening when swallowed.

•  The test strip box contains desiccant, which may irritate the skin or eyes when inhaled or swallowed. 

Keep the box out of the reach of children.

The blood glucose monitor is made from precision and electronic components. The accuracy of the 

measurements and service life of the device depend on its careful handling:

•  Protect the device and its accessories from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked temperature fluctuations 

and direct sunlight. Do not store the device, test strips and control solution in your vehicle, in the 

bathroom or in a cooling appliance.

•  Do not drop the device.

Repairs 

 Note

•  Do not open the device. Failure to comply will result in voiding of the warranty.

•  Do not repair the device. Proper operation can no longer be guaranteed in this case.

•  Please contact Customer Services for repairs.
