It is not intended for use with neonate cord blood speci-
mens.
It is not intended for the screening or diagnosis of diabetes
mellitus but is indicated for use in determining dysglycemia.
Limitations
• Capillary whole blood specimens (e.g. obtained by
finger stick) should not be used in patients receiving
intensive medical intervention/therapy because of the
potential for pre-analytical collection error and specifi-
cally in patients with decreased peripheral blood flow,
as it may not truly reflect the patient’s true physiologi-
cal state. Examples include, but are not limited to,
severe hypotension, shock, hyper-osmolar-hyperglyce-
mia (with or without ketosis) and severe dehydration.
