Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may yield falsely lower results
The glucose meter and lancing device are for single patient use
Not for use for patients in a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.

know your hematocrit level, please consult your healthcare provider.
For Over-the-Counter use
Do not perform AST if you think your glucose is low, you are unaware that you might have hypoglycemia,
you are testing for hyperglycemia, your AST results do not match the way you feel, your routine glucose

If you take acetaminophen or acetaminophen containing medications (Tylenol, certain cold and flu
remedies, or certain prescription drugs) higher than the recommended levels (>5 mg/dL) then you
should know that this medication might affect the reliability of your blood glucose results and you

Certain conditions may cause your blood level of uric acid to rise. These conditions include gout or
kidney disease. Uric acid levels in your blood are measured by a laboratory test that your doctor orders.
You should know that if your blood level of uric acid is high (
≥
10 mg/dL) then your blood glucose
results may be not reliable. If your doctor tells you that your uric acid level is greater than 10 mg/dL,
then do not use this blood glucose monitoring system. If you are unsure, then ask your doctor.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid (>2 mg/dL) naturally in your blood or from food or taking Vitamin C
supplements might cause inaccurate blood glucose results when using this blood glucose monitoring
system.
