example, your GP, chemist or diabetes consultant). Only proper use will guarantee exact measure-

• This device may be used by people with reduced mental capabilities provided that they are super-
vised 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 perspiration, frequent passing of water, severe hypo-
tension (low blood pressure), shock or hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic non-ketotic coma may lead
to incorrect measurements.
• A haematocrit value between 20% and 60% has no significant influence on the measurements.
• A very high or low haematocrit value (proportion of red blood cells) may lead to incorrect meas-
urements. In the event of a very high haematocrit value (above 60%), the displayed blood glucose
value may be too low; in the event of a very low haematocrit value (below 20%), it may be too high.
Consult your GP if you do not know your haematocrit value.
• Do not use the test strips to measure blood glucose values on newborns.
• Do not use NaF or potassium oxalate anticoagulants to prepare for venous blood samples.
• Do not test any severely ill patients using this device.
• Use fresh whole blood only. Do not use serum or plasma.
• Use capillary blood without squeezing the penetration area. Squeezing the area causes the blood
to be diluted with tissue fluid and this may lead to an incorrect measurement.
• Do not use the test strips above an altitude of 7010 m.
• Very high levels of humidity may influence the test results. Relative humidity of more than 90% may
lead to inaccurate results.
Note
• The Beurer GL44 lean monitoring system is intended for measuring capillary and venous whole
blood.

• Store the monitor and its accessories out of the reach of small children and pets. Small parts, such
as lancet needles, parts of the lancing device, batteries or test strips may be life-threatening when
swallowed. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
• The test strip box contains desiccant, which may irritate the skin or eyes when inhaled or swal-
lowed. Keep the box out of the reach of children.
The monitor is made from precision and electronic components. The accuracy of the measured val-
ues and service life of the device depend on its careful handling:
• Protect the device and its accessories from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked temperature fluctua-
tions and direct sunlight. Do not store the device, test strips and control solution in your vehicle,
in the bathroom or in a cooling appliance!
• Do not drop the device.
