6. Hematocrit: Test strip results are not significantly affected by
hematocrits in range of 30% to 55%. Hematocrit levels less than
30% may cause incorrect high readings and hematocrit levels
greater than 55% may cause incorrect low readings. If you do
not know your hematocrit level, consult your healthcare profes-
sional.
7. Interfering substances depend on the concentration. The sub-
stances below may affect the test results:
• Acetaminophen > 15 mg/dL or 1.0 mmol/L
• Geneticist Acid > 8 mg/dL or 0.5 mmol/L
• Levodopa > 10 mg/dL or 0.5 mmol/L
• Dopamine > 10 mg/dL or 0.5 mmol/L
• Methyldopa > 2.5 mg/dL or 0.12 mmoll/L
• Uric Acid >14 mg/dL or 0.4 mmol/L
8. Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may have inaccurate results.
9. Altitude up to 3050 meters above sea level has no effect on read-
ings.
10. Test results may be false if the patient is severely dehydrated or
severely hypertensive, in shock, or in hypoglycemic-hyperosmo-
lar state (with or without ketosis). Critically ill patients should
not be tested with home-use blood glucose meter.
11. Increased cholesterol and triglyceride levels may interfere with
the way light is reflected producing erroneous meter results.
