IMPORTANT NOTES
»
Directly in the morning after getting up, the ketone
bodies are usually relatively low. This is due to the na
tural rise in cortisol and the associated rise in blood
sugar. Therefore, the best time to measure is later in
the morning, but in any case before you have had
breakfast. The frequency is at the individual‘s discre
tion. Note: In ketoadapted athletes, a very strong rise
in blood glucose is often noticeable after training.

Consult a ketosis expert or doctor as soon as possi
ble if the measurement result is more than 60 PPM
and, on top of that, this value is present continuously
for a longer period of time.

The ACE KETOSCAN mini automatically performs Sen
sor Conditioning Tests from time to time to adjust the
sensor. If necessary, the device also requests a breath
sample, which is used as a reference during the dia
gnosis. The Sensor Conditioning Test starts as soon as
the unit is switched on, then a countdown to 0 runs
and at the end „OK“ is shown on the display. After that,
the countdown starts again and then the unit is ready
for a test. Note: These tests are not a malfunction or a
deterioration in performance.
The Sensor Conditioning Tests are an important pro
cess that protects the sensor from environmental
materials and gases. It ensures the test accuracy
and longterm stability of the KETOSCAN sensor.
Such a sensor type is normally installed in respirators
used by law enforcement to avoid false readings. To
minimise the number of Sensor Conditioning Tests,
leave your device in an area of your home that is not
exposed to odours or gases. After the test, leave the
top cover of the unit open.

Operation of this unit is no longer possible once the
number of measurements exceeds 300. Once this
number of tests has been reached, the unit must be
sent to a service partner such as ACE Instruments for
calibration or sensor replacement. After 300 tests, a
maximum of 20 more tests can be performed, then no
