1. DO NOT use serum or plasma sample.
2. DO NOT use anticoagulant NaF or potassium oxalate for venous sample preparation.
3. DO NOT use neonate blood sample.
4. Extreme humidity may affect the results. A relative humidity greater than 90% may cause
incorrect results.
5. The system should be used at temperatures between 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 104°F). Outside
this range, the system may get incorrect results.
6. DO NOT reuse the test strips. The test strips are for single use only.
7. Hematocrit: The hematocrit between 20% and 60% will not affect the results. Hematocrit below
20% may cause higher results. Hematocrit above 60% may cause lower results.
8. Altitude up to 3,048 meters above sea level has no effect on readings.
