range is 1.1-33.3mmol/L.
Triglycerides above 33.9 mmol/L and
cholesterol above 5.6 mmol/L will lead to
inaccurate test results.

Patients undergoing oxygen therapy
may yield falsely low results.
•
Discard the used test strips and lancets
according to your local infection control
procedures.
•
For patients with impaired peripheral
circulation, collection of capillary blood
from the approved sample sites is not
advised as the results might not be a true
reflection of the physiological blood glucose
level. It may apply under the following
circumstances: severe dehydration as a
result of diabetic ketoacidosis or due to
stress hyperglycemia, hyperosmolar
