Important Information
 Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings which are
lower than actual values. If you believe you are suffering from severe
dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
 If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual, and you do not
have any symptoms of illness, first repeat the test. If you have symptoms or
continue to get results which are higher or lower than usual, follow the
treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
 Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose. Using other
substances will lead to incorrect results.
 If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your blood
glucose test results and you have followed all the instructions given in this
owner’s manual, contact your healthcare professional.
 We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive
individuals or patients in shock. Readings which are lower than actual
values may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycaemic-
hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Please consult your healthcare
professional before use.
 The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of blood or
plasma glucose can either have a weight dimension (mg/dL) or a molarity
(mmol/L). The approximate calculation rule for conversion of mg/dL in
mmol/L is:
mg/dL Divided by 18 = mmol/L
mmol/L Times 18 = mg/dL
For example;
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.
