8 Beurer GL44 mmol/L
•
The lancing device is suitable for self-testing. Do not share the lancing aid or the lancet needles with
others or amongst various patients (risk of infection!).
•
Use a new, sterile lancet needle for each blood sample (for single use only).
General notes
Warning
Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields and keep it away from radio
systems or mobile telephones.
Measuring the blood glucose content
Warning
•
The measurements taken by you are for your information only – they are no substitute for a medical
examination! Regularly consult your GP regarding your measured values. Do not alter the procedures
prescribed by your GP.
•
Despite the simple usage of the Beurer GL44 monitor for self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, you
may possibly need to obtain instructions for using the system from your healthcare professional (for
example, your GP, chemist or diabetes consultant). Only proper use will guarantee exact measure-
ments.
•
A lack of water, high fluid loss, for example perspiration, frequent passing of water, severe hypoten-
sion (low blood pressure), shock or hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic non-ketotic coma (HHNKC) may
lead to incorrect measured results.
•
An excessively high or low hematocrit value (proportion of red blood cells) may lead to incorrect
measurements. In the event of a very high hematocrit value (above 55%), the displayed blood glu-
cose value may be too low; in the event of a very low hematocrit value (below 30%), it may be too
high. Please consult your GP if you do not know your hematocrit value.
•
Do not use the test strips to measure blood glucose values on newborns.
•
Do not use NaF or potassium oxalate anticoagulants to prepare for venous blood samples.
•
Do not test any severely ill patients using this device.
•
Lipemia eects: High blood triglyceride values of up to 11.4 mmol/L hardly influence the results.
However, triglyceride values above this level may aect the blood glucose test.
•
High blood cholesterol values of up to 13 mmol/L hardly influence the results. However, cholesterol
values above this level may aect the blood glucose test.
•
Use fresh capillary whole blood only. Do not use serum or plasma.
•
Use capillary blood without squeezing the penetration area. If the area is squeezed, the blood is di-
luted with tissue fluid and this may lead to an incorrect measuring result.
•
Do not use the test strips above an altitude of 7010 m.
•
Very high levels of humidity may influence the test results. Relative humidity of more than 90% may
lead to inexact results.
Note
•
The Beurer GL44 mmol/L measuring system is intended to measure capillary whole blood.
