• E xtremes in hematocrit may affect test results. Hematocrit levels
less than 30% may cause falsely high readings. Hematocrit levels
greater than 54% may cause falsely low readings.
• I naccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals
or patients in shock. Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals
experiencing a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without
ketosis. Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood glucose
meters.
• T riglycerides up to 3,000 mg/dL do not significantly affect test results.
However, glucose values in specimens beyond this triglycerides level
should be interpreted with caution.
• N ormal endogenous (within body) natural levels of uric acid,
ascorbate (vitamin C), bilirubin, triglycerides, and hemoglobin do not
interfere with your blood glucose results obtained.
• E xternally taken drugs L-dopa, dopamine, methyl-dopa,
acetaminophen, and ibuprofen will not interfere with
ReliOn® micro blood glucose results when taken at
therapeutic concentrations.
