Always use the fingertip for blood samples used for calibrating the sensor while in
Auto Mode. The fingertip was the only site studied for use with Auto Mode. Do
not use blood samples from the palm to calibrate the sensor as this site was not
studied for use with Auto Mode and the performance of the system is not known.
Serious illness

appropriate when peripheral flow is decreased. Shock, severe hypotension,
hyperosmolar hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and occurrence of severe
dehydration are examples of clinical conditions that may adversely affect the
measurement of glucose in peripheral blood.
