HI and Lo Messages
HI Message
The meter displays blood glucose results
between
1
0–600 mg/dL (
0.56
–33.3 mmol/L).
'HI' appears when the blood glucose level is
greater than 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L) and
indicates severe hyperglycemia (much higher
than normal glucose levels).
If 'HI' is displayed again upon retesting,
please contact your healthcare professional
immediately.
Lo Message
'Lo' appears when a blood glucose test
result is less than
1
0 mg/dL (
0.56
mmol/L)
and indicates severe hypoglycemia (very
low glucose levels).
If 'Lo' is displayed again upon retesting,
please contact your healthcare professional
immediately.
AST Precautions
• Before using AST, please consult your healthcare
professional.
• Do not ignore the symptoms of hyperglycemia or
hypoglycemia.
• When the results of the test do not reflect your opinion,
retest using the fingertip test. If the fingertip result still does
not reflect the way you feel, please consult your healthcare
professional.
• Do not rely on the AST results for changing your treatment
method.
• The amount of glucose in alternate sites differs from person
to person.
Note:
• Results from alternate sites and fingertip samples may
differ from each other as there is a time lag for the glucose
levels to reach the same value. Use a fingertip for testing
if you suffer from hypoglycemia or have experienced
hypoglycemic shock or symptoms.
• If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact
with hair or with a line in your palm, do not use that sample.
Try puncturing again in a smoother area.
Note:
Please contact your authorised i-SENS sales representative if
such messages are displayed even though you do not have
hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
