Evaluating A Test Result - Medisana MediTouch 2 Instruction Manual

5.6 Evaluating a test result

WARNING
Never change the prescribed dose of
medicine or treatment on your own initia-
tive on the basis of one test result from a
blood glucose test.
®
The MediTouch 2 blood glucose test strips
work based on an improved technology (GDH-
FAD) for a more exact and specific glucose
measurement. They are calibrated to easily com-
pare with laboratory test results.
The normal average blood glucose reading of an
adult without diabetes is between 3,9 and 7,2
mmol/L (70 - 130 mg/dL). The blood glucose
level of an adult without diabetes two hours after
a meal is less than 10 mmol/L (180 mg/dL).
For those with diabetes: consult your doctor
about the range of blood glucose level valid for
you.
Unusual test results
If your test result is not what you expected, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Perform a control test, see section 5.1 Using
the control solution
2. Repeat the blood glucose test, see section
5.4 Determining the blood glucose level
3. If your test result is still not what you think it
should be, consult your doctor immediately.
NOTES
G
• Extremely high humidity can affect the
test results. A relative humidity of more
than 90% can cause incorrect readings.
• If the proportion of red blood cells
(haemotocrit level) is very high (over 60%)
g
or very low (under 20%), this could distort
the test results.
