HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD GLUCOSE

 Important Information and Possible Interferences

 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 60 mg/dL

(3.3 mmol/L) mean low blood glucose

(hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL

(13.3 mmol/L) mean

high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you get results below 60 mg/dL or

above 240 mg/dL, and do not have symptoms, first repeat the test. If you

have symptoms or continue to get results that fall below 60 mg/dL or above

240 mg/dL, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.

 Apply only capillary whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. Applying

other substances will cause wrong 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 plus blood pressure monitor.

 Please refer to your test strip package insert for additional important

information.
