Important Information

• The CareSens N blood glucose monitoring system is intended
for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use).
• The glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals
on the test strip where to produce a small electrical current.
The CareSens N meter detects this electrical current and
measures the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
• The CareSens N blood glucose meter is designed to minimize
code related errors in monitoring by using the nocoding
function.
• The CareSens N blood glucose meter should be used only
with the CareSens N strip.
• The average hematocrit range is between 30 and 50%.
However, people with severe anemia and newborns may have
higher hematocrit and this can affect the test results.
• Very high (60% or more) or very low (20% or less) hematocrit
can lead to incorrect test results.
• A glucose value of less than 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) may
indicate hypoglycemia and a value of more than 240 mg/dL
(13.3 mmol/L) may indicate hyperglycemia.
