IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. If you
believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare
professional immediately.
•
Test results below 3.3 mmol/L*
1
mean low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Test
results greater than 13.3 mmol/L*
2
mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia).
If you get results below 3.3 mmol/L or above 13.3 mmol/L, and do not have
symptoms, first repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue to get results
that fall below 3.3 mmol/L or above 13.3 mmol/L, follow the treatment advice
of your healthcare professional.
•
Apply only capillary whole blood sample to the absorbent hole. Applying other
substances to the absorbent hole will cause inaccurate results.
•
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your blood
glucose test results and you have followed all instructions described in this
owner’s manual, call your healthcare professional.
•
Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or patients
in shock. Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing
a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill
patients should not be tested with blood glucose meters.
•
Please refer to the test strip package insert for additional important information.
