• Glucose in blood samples reacts with the chemical in the test
strip to produce a small electrical current. The Nipro Premier
alpha meter detects this electrical current and measures the
amount of glucose in the blood sample.
• The Nipro Premier alpha Blood Glucose Meter is designed
to minimise code related errors in monitoring by using the
no-coding function.
• Your Nipro Premier Blood Glucose Test Strip must be used
with Nipro Premier alpha Blood Glucose Meter. Do not use
with other blood glucose meters.
• An abnormally high or low red blood cell count (hematocrit
level over 65% or below 15%) may produce inaccurate
results.
• If your blood glucose test result is below3.3 mmol/L or
above 13.3 mmol/L, consult a healthcare professional
immediately.
• Inaccurate blood glucose results may occur in severely
hypotensive individuals or patients in shock. Inaccurate low
blood glucose results may occur for individuals experiencing
a hyperglycemic- hyperosmolar state, with or without
ketosis. Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood
glucose meters.
