WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS, AND LIMITATIONS

• The ReliOn™ Prime Blood Glucose Monitoring System is not designed to
substitute for pathology laboratory equipment and should not be used for
the diagnosis of diabetes.

you believe you are suffering from dehydration, consult your healthcare
professional immediately.
• A red blood cell count (hematocrit) that is very high (above 52%) can give
abnormally low results. A very low hematocrit level (below 33%) can give
abnormally high results.
• 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.
