Electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, such as radio and TV station transmitters, amateur radio (HAM)
•
transmitters, two way radios and cellular phones can affect the delivery of insulin in battery powered insulin
delivery devices. Follow the warnings listed below to reduce the chance of user interface distortion or the stop-
page of an insulin delivery of your FreeStyle Aviator System, which could result in adverse events or serious
injury:
Do
➢
NOT use your FreeStyle Aviator System during MRI; leave your FreeStyle Aviator System outside the
MRI procedure room.
Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio and TV towers, and avoid going close to them.
➢
Do
➢
NOT place your FreeStyle Aviator System next to another electronic device such as a cellular phone.
Be aware that adding accessories or modifying the
➢
FreeStyle Aviator System may make it MORE suscep-
tible to interference from EMI (Refer to Section 12D for more information).
Blood Glucose Testing
Check your blood glucose level frequently as recommended by your healthcare professional and follow recom-
•
mendations from your healthcare professional when your blood glucose is too high or too low.
To ensure accurate results, wash your hands and test site (for example, your forearm) with soap and water. Make
•
sure there is NO cream or lotion on the test site. Thoroughly dry your hands and test site.
Use
•
ONLY the FreeStyle Lite Test Strips with the companion. Using other test strips will produce inaccurate
results.
For important test strip information, including detailed storage and usage information, refer to the
•
FreeStyle
Lite Test Strip package insert.
Do
•
NOT reuse lancets. Use a new sterile lancet for each test. NEVER use a lancet or lancing device for more than
one person.
It is possible you may experience bruising at the test site. If bruising does occur, you may choose to lance an-
•
other site or adjust lancing depth.
Do
•
NOT use test strips more than once. Discard used test strips in accordance with local disposal regulations.
Do
•
NOT press the test strip against the test site.
Do
•
NOT scrape the blood onto the test strip.
Do
•
NOT apply blood to the flat side of the test strip.
Do
•
NOT apply blood to the test strip when the test strip is out of the companion.
Do
•
NOT apply blood to both edges of the test strip.
Do
•
NOT put blood or foreign objects into the companion’s test strip port.
Low or high glucose readings can indicate a potentially serious medical condition. LO readings display as less
•
than 20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L), and HI readings display as over 500 mg/dL (27.8 mmol/L).
Use a sealed container such as a Sharps container to avoid exposure to the sharps by yourself or someone else.
•
Your community requires safe disposal of sharps.
FreeStyle Control Solution
•
is good for three months after opening the bottle or until the expiry date printed
on the label, whichever comes first.
Count forward three months from the date you open a new bottle of control solution. This is your discard date.
•
Write this date on the side of the control solution bottle.
The control solution range is a target range for control solution only. It is
•
NOT a target range for your blood
glucose level.
