BLOOD GLUCOSE TESTING
NOTE:
Comparing your blood glucose test results taken with
this meter to your results taken from a different meter is not
recommended. Results may differ between meters and are not
a useful measure of whether your meter is working properly. To
check your meter accuracy, you should periodically compare
your meter results to those obtained from a lab. See
“Comparing
meter results to laboratory results”
in Section 7.
CAUTION:
•
Do Not
use the OneTouch Select Plus Simple
®
System when
PAM (Pralidoxime) is known or suspected to be in the patient's
whole blood sample, as it may cause inaccurate results.
• A haematocrit (percentage of your blood that is red blood
cells) that is either very high (above 55%) or very low (below
30%) can cause false results.
•
Do Not
use your test strips if your vial is damaged or left open
to air. This could lead to error messages or inaccurate results.
Contact Customer Care immediately if the test strip vial is
damaged. Contact information for Customer Care is listed at
the end of this Owner's Guide.
• If you cannot test due to a problem with your testing supplies,
contact your healthcare professional. Failure to test could
delay treatment decisions and lead to a serious medical
condition.
•
Do Not
use test strips after the expiry date printed on the vial.
