Important Safety Instructions; Important Testing Information - iHealth BG5 Owner's Manual

monitors glucose levels by measuring the amount of
electrical currents that are generated when the glucose in
your system reacts with the reagent of a test strip. The
strength of the current produced by the reaction depends
on the amount of glucose in the blood sample. The glucose
meter measures the current and converts to the
corresponding blood glucose level.

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.
• Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood
