Do not change your medication based on the BLE Smart meter blood
glucose test results without first contacting your physician or healthcare
professional.
GENERAL
1. Wash your hands with warm water and soap before testing. Dry your
hands completely before testing.
2. Avoid contamination from hand lotions, oil, dirt or debris on hands, test
strips, lancets, and lancing device. Contamination may affect blood
glucose results.
3. Practice using the BLE Smart system and supplies.
4. Avoid testing in direct sunlight.
5. Store the BLE Smart system and all supplies between 36~86°F (2~30°C)
and 10~85% relative humidity. Keep out of direct sunlight.
6. Store the test strips in their original vial and do not mix test strips.
7. Make a note of the discard date for test strips and control solution.
Discard after 3 months from first use.
8. Do not bend, cut, or alter test strips.
LIMITATIONS
The BLE Smart System provides accurate results when the following
constraints are observed:
• Use only BLE Smart test strips with the BLE Smart meter.
• Use fresh capillary whole blood only.
• Test strips are for single use only. Do not reuse.
• Dehydration may cause higher glucose test results.
• Inaccurate results may occur when in shock, during illness,
hypotensive, hyperglycemic, or hyperosmolar state, with or without
ketosis.
• Critically ill patients should not be tested with this meter.
• In altitudes higher than 10,000, test results may be affected.
OTHER LIMITATIONS AND INTERFERENCES
BLE Smart test strip results can be used with hematocrit levels in the range
of 25% to 65%. If your hematocrit range is out of the range (25%~65%),
your test results may be lower or higher than the actual value.
Interferences:
Acetaminophen, uric acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and
other reducing substances (when occurring in normal blood or normal
therapeutic concentrations) do not significantly affect results. However,
abnormally high concentrations in blood may cause higher test results.
Lipemic samples; Cholesterol up to 500 mg/dL or triglyceride up to 3000
mg/dL do not significantly affect results. Values beyond these levels should
be interpreted with caution.
