Risk of infection
All components of the blood glucose 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 measure your blood glucose value using a unit of measurement with which you are not
familiar, misinterpret the values and consequently take incorrect measures. Therefore, please
ensure that this monitor displays a unit of measurement with which you are familiar. The unit
of measurement accompanies each blood glucose value. Please contact Customer Services
if the device displays the incorrect unit of measurement.
• When using the monitor for multiple persons, observe the generally applicable regulations regarding
disinfection, safety and contamination.
• Medical carers and others who use this system on multiple patients must be aware that all products
or objects that come into contact with human blood must be handled as though they could transfer
pathogens, even after cleaning.
• The lancing device is suitable for self-testing. Do not share the lancing device or lancet needles with
others or among multiple patients (
risk of infection!
).
• Use a new, sterile lancet needle for each blood sample (
for single use only
).
General notes

Measuring the blood glucose content
Warning
• The measurements taken by you are for your information only – they are not a substitute for a medical
examination! Consult your GP regularly regarding your measured values. Never alter the procedures
prescribed by your GP of your own accord.
• The Beurer GL50 monitor provides a simple way of monitoring your own blood glucose levels,
however you may need to obtain information on how to use the system from your healthcare
professional (for example, your GP, chemist or diabetes consultant). Only proper use guarantees
exact measurements.
• This device may be used by people with reduced mental capabilities provided that they are supervised
or have been instructed on how to use the device safely and are fully aware of the consequent risks
of use.
• A lack of water, high fluid loss – for example from perspiration, frequent passing of water – severe
hypotension (low blood pressure), shock or hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic non-ketotic coma (HHNKC)
may lead to incorrect measurements.
