Risk of infection
All components of the monitor and its accessories may come into contact with human
blood and are therefore a possible source of infection.
Warning
•
Blood glucose values are displayed in mg/
dL or mmol/L.
You risk damaging your health if you meas-
ure your blood glucose value using a unit
of measurement with which you are not
familiar, misinterpret the values and subse-
quently take incorrect measures. Therefore,
please ensure that this monitor displays a
unit of measurement with which you are fa-
miliar. The unit of measurement accompa-
nies each blood glucose value.
Please contact Customer Services if the device displays the incorrect unit of measurement.
• When using the monitor for various persons, observe the generally applicable regulations regarding
disinfection, safety and contamination.
• Medical carers and others who use this system on several patients must be aware that all prod-
ucts or objects that come into contact with human blood must be handled, even after cleaning, as
though they could transfer pathogens.
• The lancing device is suitable for self-testing. Never share the lancing device or lancet needles with
others or amongst various patients
(risk of infection!)
.
• Use a new sterile lancet needle for each blood sample (
for single use only

Measuring the blood glucose content

procedures prescribed by your GP.
• Despite the simple usage of the Beurer

you may possibly need to obtain instructions for using the system from your healthcare profes-
sional (for example, your GP, chemist or diabetes consultant). Only proper use will guarantee exact
