Data Sheet

5
To receive safe and optimum system benefits, please read the entire
manual contents before using the system. Please note:
Do • not use the system for the diagnosis of diabetes or for testing
newborns.
The CareSens II blood glucose monitoring system is intended for •
self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use).
Use • only fresh capillary whole blood samples for testing.
The glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals on •
the test strip to produce a small electrical current. The CareSens II
meter detects this electrical current and measures the amount of
glucose in the blood sample.
Alternative site and fingertip results may differ significantly due to •
rapid change in the glucose level after meal, insulin or exercise.
Use alternative site samples only for testing prior to, or more than •
two hours after, meal, insulin dose, or physical exercise.
The average hematocrit range is between 30 and 50%. However, •
people with severe anemia and newborns may have higher
hematocrit and this can affect the test results.
Very high (60% or more) or very low (20% or less) hematocrit can •
lead to incorrect test results.
The following chart explains the symbols you will find in the CareSens II
User Manual, product packaging, and product inserts.
