Note
1. If your blood glucose result is unusually high (over
300mg/dL), the user should check the quality control. If
your blood glucose is under 50mg/dL, contact your
healthcare provider immediately.
2. If your blood result appears doubtful, repeat the test
procedure by using new test strips and running the
quality control to ensure that the strip and meter are
working properly. If the control results are within the
ranges on the vials, retest your glucose level.
3. If you open a new vial of test strips, ensure the code on
the vial matches the code on the meter. If the code does
not match, calibrate with a new CODE CARD. Once
the code number on the meter is displayed, insert the
strip from the new vial into the meter.
