Results for each test are in units of measure specific to each test and your location. The
measuring range for each test is listed in the test strip instructions. This is the range
that your CardioChek analyzer will display. Results higher or lower than this range will
display as > or < followed by a number.
The expected values listed in the instructions are the ranges expected for the majority of
healthy persons (persons not diagnosed with any disease).
Important Test Considerations
1.
Make sure that you read and follow the instructions. If you are not sure how
to run the test, call PTS Diagnostics Customer Service for assistance
before testing.
2.
If any result is not as expected, questionable for any reason, above or below
the measuring range or expected values range, always repeat the test with a
new, unused test strip.
3.
Always consult your healthcare provider or medical practitioner and follow
their advice.
4.
Never make any changes in how you take your medication or make any
medical decisions based on the results from this device unless instructed by
your healthcare provider.
