you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult your healthcare professional
immediately.
• Test results below 60 mg/dL (3.3mmol/L)*
1
mean low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Test
results greater than 240 mg/dL (13.3mmol/L)*
2
mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia).
If you get results below 60 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL, and do not have symptoms, first
repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue to get results that fall below 60 mg/dL or
above 240 mg/dL, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
• Apply only capillary whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. Applying other
substances will cause wrong results.
• If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose test
results and you have followed all instructions described in this owner’s manual, consult
your healthcare professional.
• Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or patients in shock.
Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycemic-
hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients should not be tested
with blood glucose meters.
• Please refer to your test strip package insert for additional important information.
