  • Page 6: Important Information

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low re- sults. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately. Test results below 60 mg/dL* mean low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL* mean high blood glucose (hyper- glycemia).

  • Page 7: About Aternative Site Testing (Ast)

    ABOUT ALTERNATIVE SITE TESTING (AST) Important: There are limitations for doing AST. Please consult your healthcare professional before you do AST. What is AST? Alternative site testing (AST) means that people use parts of the body oth- er than fingertips to check their blood glucose levels.
  • Page 8 Do NOT use AST if: You think your blood glucose is low. You are unawareness of hypoglycemia. Your AST results do not match the way you feel. You are testing for hyperglycemia. Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating. You are pregnant. How to increase the accuracy? Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site prior to blood ex- traction has a significant influence on the glucose value obtained.

  • Page 9: Introduction Of The System

    INTRODUCTION OF THE SYSTEM Intended Use The system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use). It should be used only for testing glucose (sugar) and only with fresh capil- lary whole blood samples taken from the finger and the alternative sites including the palm, the forearm, the upper arm, the calf and the thigh.

  • Page 10: Contents Of The System

    Contents of the System The system consists of three main products: the blood glucose meter, test strips, and a vial of control solution. These products have been designed, tested, and proven to work together as a system to produce accurate blood glucose test results.
