Limitations

- Store the GE100 Blood Glucose Test Strips in the original capped vial at temperatures between 39
86 ( 4 °F °C to 30 °C ) and relative humidity below 90%. Do not freeze.
- GE100 Blood Glucose Test Strips are designed for using with capillary whole blood samples. Do not use
serum or plasma samples.
- Inaccurate test results may be obtained at altitudes greater than 10,000 feet (30048 meters) above sea
level.
- Hematocrit below 30% may cause higher results, and hematocrit above 60% may cause lower results.
- Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause inaccurately low results.
- GE100 Blood Glucose Monitoring System has not been validated for use on neonates.
- Inaccurate test results may be obtained by abnormal concentrations of
Uric acid ≧ 10.0 mg/dL, L-Dopa ≧ 3 mg/dL, Dopamine ≧ 2 mg/dL, Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)≧ 5 mg/dL
NOTE
- Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Methyldopa, Salicylic Acid, Tetracycline, Tolbutamide, Bilirubin-
unconjugated, Cholesterol, Creatinine, Triglyceride, Maltose, Xylose, Galactose and Lactose
(when occurring in normal blood or normal therapeutic concentrations) do not significantly
affect results. However, abnormally high concentrations in blood may cause inaccurate results.
- Sodium Fluoride/Potassium Oxalate at low glucose levels may result in inaccurate blood glucose
reading. Sodium Fluoride/Potassium Oxalate should not be used as an anticoagulant with this
device.
