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 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 higher or lower than usual,
follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
• Use only fresh whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. Using
other substances will lead to incorrect results.
• If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your
blood glucose test results and you have followed all instructions
described in this owner's manual, call your healthcare professional.
• We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive
individuals or patients in shock. Readings which are lower
than actual values may occur for individuals experiencing a
hyperglycaemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Please
consult the healthcare professional before use.
• The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration
of blood or plasma glucose can have mg/dL or mmol/L. The
approximate calculation rule for conversion of mg/dL in mmol/L is:
mg/dL Divided by 18
mmol/L Times 18
For example:
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.
