Important Information
• Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings which are lower than ac-
tual values. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare
professional immediately.
• If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual, and you do not have any symp-
toms of illness, first repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue to get results which
are higher or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
• Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose. Using other substances
will lead to incorrect results.
• If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your blood glucose test re-
sults and you have followed all the instructions given in this owner’s manual, contact your
healthcare professional
• We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive individuals or patients
in shock. Please consult the healthcare professional before use.
• The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of blood or plasma glucose
can either have a weight dimension (mg/dL) or a molarity (mmol/L). The approximate cal-
culation rule for conversion of mg/dL in mmol/L is:
mg/dL Divided by 18 = mmol/L
mmol/L Times 18 = mg/dL
For example:
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.
