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 test results are lower or higher than usual, and you do not have
symptoms of illness, rst repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue
to get results higher or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your
healthcare professional.
• Use only fresh whole blood sample to perform a test. Using other substances
will lead to incorrect results.
• If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your test results
and you have followed all the instructions given in this owner’s manual, contact
your healthcare professional.
• We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive individuals
or patients in shock. Readings which are lower than actual values may occur
for individuals experiencing a hyperglycaemic-hyperosmolar state, with or
without ketosis. Please consult the healthcare professional before use.
• The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of blood glucose
can have mg/dL or mmol/L. The approximate calculation rule for conversion of
mg/dL in mmol/L is:
mg/dL Divided by 18 = mmol/L
mmol/L Times 18 = mg/dL
For example:
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately
