Before You Begin; Important Information - GlucoRx HCT Owner's Manual

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 or β-ketone 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 or
β-ketone. Using other substances will lead to incorrect results.
● If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your
blood glucose or β-ketone 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. Please consult your healthcare
professional before use.
● The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of
blood or plasma glucose will have molarity (mmol/L). The
approximate calculation rule for conversion of mmol/L in mg/dL is:
For example:
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.
mg/dL Divided by 18
mmol/L Times 18
= mmol/L
= mg/dL
