Attention:
– If such extreme values don’t correspond
with the way you feel, repeat the measure
-
ment to confirm the result.
– If the measurements don’t change, see
your doctor immediately!
– If you should feel symptoms which don’t
agree with your measured blood glucose
values, never change your medicine dos

age without previously consulting your
physician.
The blood glucose measurement can lead to
false results:
– when the haematocrit value of the patient
is less than 20% or greater than 60%.
– in patients with haemolytic blood
– in patients who have icterus (jaundice)
– in patients who have lip(id)aemia
– when there is a change in the peripheral
blood circulation
– when coagulated blood is measured
– when the time span from getting the blood
drop to measurement is too long.
Your doctor can clarify whether your meas-
urements are influenced by one of these
cases.
Notes:
Take the test strip out of the meter after the
measurement.
Properly dispose of used test strips and lan-
cets immediately after measurement so that
they cannot injure/infect anyone.
3.5 Use by multiple persons
When the blood glucose meter is shared by
several persons, the measured value memory
can be configured so that the measured
blood glucose measurements can be allo
-
cated to up to eight different users based on
the user identity number (1 to 8).
For the correct allocation of the respective
measurements to a measured value memory,
the user is prompted during the course of the
measurement to confirm the user identity
number displayed by the device or to select
the correct user identity number (see Section
3.2, steps 5 to 7).
Attention:
To avoid infections, if the meter is used by
several persons, make sure that the meter is
not contaminated with blood. Contaminated
blood glucose meters are to be cleaned
before further use and are to be disinfected, if
necessary.
To avoid infections, each user must use his or
her own lancing device.
