Important Health-related Information
●
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss
may cause readings which are lower than
actual 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 symptoms
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 results
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. Readings which are lower than actual
values may occur for individuals experiencing a
hyperglycaemic-hyperosmolar state, with or
without ketosis. 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 calculation
rule for conversion of mg/dL in mmol/L is:
For example;
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.
