Important Information
Blood specimens containing ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) greater than 5mg/dL, uric acid greater
than 20mg/dL, acetaminophen greater than 15mg/dL, L-Dopa greater than 1.25 mg/dL,
Dopamine greater than 3 mg/dL, Methyl-Dopa greater than 5 mg/dL, Glibenclimide greater
than 10 mg/dL, creatinine greater than 20 mg/dL and Billirubin greater than 20 mg/dL may
give inaccurate glucose results.
Blood specimens containing ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) greater than 5mg/dL, acetaminophen
greater than 15mg/dL, L-Dopa greater than 1.25 mg/dL, Dopamine greater than 3 mg/dL,
Methyl-Dopa greater than 5 mg/dL, Glibenclimide greater than 10 mg/dL, creatinine greater
than 20 mg/dL and Billirubin greater than 20 mg/dL may give inaccurate cholesterol results.
Blood specimens containing ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) greater than 5mg/dL, acetaminophen
greater than 15mg/dL, L-Dopa greater than 1.25 mg/dL, Dopamine greater than 3 mg/dL,
Methyl-Dopa greater than 5 mg/dL, Glibenclimide greater than 10 mg/dL, creatinine greater
than 20 mg/dL and Billirubin greater than 1.85 mg/dL may give inaccurate uric acid results.
Cholesterol up to 500 mg/dL or triglycerides up to 3000 mg/dL do not significantly affect
the glucose results. Grossly lipaemic patient samples have not been tested and are not
recommended for testing glucose level with the GCUHb Monitoring System.
Hematocrit (percentage of red blood cells in your blood) below 30% or higher than 55% was
found to cause a higher or lower reading, respectively. No significant effect on the reading
was found for hematocrits in the blood sample between 30% and 55%.
