iHealth BG5 Owner's Manual page 11

Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood glucose
meters.
•
If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than
usual, and you do not have symptoms of illness, first repeat the
test. If you have symptoms or continue to get results that are
higher or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your
healthcare professional.
•
If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent
with your blood glucose test, and you have followed all of the
instructions provided in this Owner's Manual, contact your
healthcare professional immediately.
•
Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood
glucose.
•
Do not use test strips that are expired or appear to be
damaged as they may return inaccurate results.
•
The lancing device is for self-use only. Do not share or
re-use lancets. Please refer to the Lancing Device Manual for
