• Alternative site and fingertip test results may
differ significantly due to rapid change in the
blood glucose level after meal, insulin injection,
or exercise.
•
Inaccurate results may occur in severely
hypotensive individuals or patients in shock.
Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals
experiencing a hyperglycaemic-hyperosmolar state,
with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients should
not be tested with blood glucose meters.
•
Inaccurate results may occur in patients undergoing
oxygen therapy.
Important Information:
• The Blood Glucose Monitoring
System is intended for self-testing outside the
body (in vitro diagnostic use) only.
• Glucose in blood samples reacts with the
chemical in the test strip to produce a small
electrical current.
• The Blood Glucose Meter detects
this electrical current and measures the amount
of glucose in the blood sample.
• The Blood Glucose Meter is
designed to minimise code related errors in
monitoring by using the no-coding function.
• The Blood Glucose Meter should
be used only with the Blood
Glucose Test Strips.
• An abnormally high or low red blood cell count
(haematocrit level over 65% or below 15%) may
produce inaccurate results.
• If your test result is below 3.3 mmol/L or above
13.3 mmol/L, consult a healthcare professional
immediately.
