BEFORE YOU BEGIN

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 ownerʼs manual, contact your healthcare professional.
● We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive
indi viduals 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 the 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:
For example:
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.
