BEFORE YOU BEGIN
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 or ß-ketone are lower or higher than
usual, and you do not have any symptoms of illness, first repeat
the test. If you have symptoms or continue to get results which are
higher or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your
healthcare professional.
Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose or
ß-ketone. Using other substances will lead to inaccurate results.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your
blood glucose or ß-ketone test results and you have followed all
the instructions given in this owner’s manual, contact your
healthcare professional.

healthcare professional before use.
