Important Health-related Information

Please Read the Following:
[1] Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive indi-
viduals 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.
[2] Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may yield
inaccurate results. If you believe you are suffering from severe
dehydration, consult your healthcare professional immediately.
[3] Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may receive
inaccurate results.
[4] Results below 70 mg/dL may mean low blood glucose
levels (hypoglycemia).
4
[5] Results over 240 mg/dL may mean high blood glucose
levels (hyperglycemia). Checking ketones may be advisable.
[6] If you get results below 70 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL and
do not have symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia,
repeat the test. If you have symptoms, or continue to get
results that fall below 70 mg/dL or rise above 240 mg/dL,
follow the treatment plan recommended by your healthcare
team or contact your healthcare professional immediately.
[7] If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent
with your blood glucose test and you have followed all
instructions described in the AgaMatrix Jazz Owner's Guide,
follow your healthcare professional's recommendations.

damaged as they may return inaccurate results.
