Limitations:
• For in-vitro diagnostic use only (external use only).
• Not for diagnosis of or screening for diabetes.
• Not for testing of neonates.
• The test strips are for single use only. Do not reuse test strips.
• The system can give false results greater than 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) above sea level.
• The system can give false results outside the hematocrit range: 15% to 65%.
• Individuals experiencing a hypoxia state may yield falsely low results.
• In situations of decreased peripheral blood ow, capillary blood testing may not be
appropriate as it may not represent the true physiological state. Examples would include but
are not limited to: severe dehydration caused by diabetic ketoacidosis or the hyperosmolar
non-ketotic state, hypotension, shock, or peripheral vascular disease.

• This device should not be used to test critically ill patients.
• Alternative site testing (AST) should not be used to calibrate continuous glucose monitors
(CGMs) nor for use in insulin dose calculations.
• AST testing should only be done during steady-state times (when glucose is not changing rapidly).
• For single patient use at home by a lay user.
• Severe dehydration or excessive water loss may cause false low results. If you believe you are
suering from severe dehydration, consult your physician immediately.
• Cholesterol up to 500 mg/dL or triglycerides up to 3,000 mg/dL do not signicantly aect test
results. However, glucose values in specimens beyond these levels, should be interpreted with
caution.
Purpose
