AST Precautions
• 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.
• Before using AST, please consult your healthcare
professional.
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.
HI and Lo Messages
HI Message
The meter displays results between
20-600 mg/dL (1.1-33.3 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 test result is less than
20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) and indicates severe
hypoglycemia (very low glucose levels).
If 'Lo' is displayed again upon retesting,
please contact your healthcare professional
immediately.
Note:
Please contact your authorised i-SENS sales
representative, if such messages are displayed even though
you do not have hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
