10.1 Limitations of Glucose Test

 

BeneCheck PLUS Glucose Test Strips give accurate results when the following 

limitations are observed : 

  Hematocrit (Hct) percentage may affect test result. If Hct levels less than 30% 

    may cause incorrect high measurement results and Hct levels greater than 55% 

   may cause incorrect low measurement results. Please consult your medical  

    professionals if you do not know your Hct level.

  Do not use the test strips for the testing of newborns.

  The test strips react with only D-glucose and do not react with other sugars 

    which may be present in blood.

   

Use only fresh capillary finger whole blood. Do not use serum or plasma.

  BeneCheck PLUS Glucose Test Strips may be used at altitude up to 10,000 feet 

     without an effect on test results.
