The unit of measurement can be set to g/L, mmol/L or g/dL.
Values are kept in the memory using the unit set at time of measurement.
Bluetooth function:
The Bluetooth function can be activated or deactivated.
Advanced settings
Hematocrit:
Approximate hematocrit value. If this option is activated, the hematocrit value is calculated and displayed
for hemoglobin values between 12.0 and 18.0 g/dL.
If the hemoglobin is inside the normal range, an estimation of the hematocrit is obtained by multiplying
the measured hemoglobin concentration (expressed in g/dL) by factor 2.943. This calculation should not
be used outside the normal range of hemoglobin in humans, e.g. under 12.0 g/dL (7.44 mmol/L) and
above 18.0 g/dL (11.16 mmol/L). It should not be used in anemic conditions. The hematocrit is displayed
for information only and should not be used for clinical decisions.
