Fora DM40 - Important Health-Related Information

Important Health-related 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 are lower or higher
than usual, and you do not have any symptoms
of illness, rst 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. Using other substances will
lead to incorrect results.
● If you are experiencing symptoms that are
inconsistent with your blood glucose 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 or plasma glucose can
either have a weight dimension (mg/dL) or a
molarity (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.
