General precautions

GenerAl preCAUtIonS
This section informs you of potential hazards which may harm your Dario™ system
or cause it to not function properly:
Avoid using any system parts with broken seals or expired “use by” dates. Do not
attach or use a component if it is damaged in any way, as it may not work properly.
y
The Dario™ system is not water-resistant and should not get wet. If it does get
wet, wipe it with a clean dry cloth.
y
Blood glucose testing with Dario™ should only be done in temperatures
between 10°C - 45°C
(50°F - 113°F).
Test results may not be correct if the room
temperature is outside this range.
y
Changes or modifications to the Dario™ system not expressly approved by
LabStyle Innovation™ Ltd. will void your warranty and could cause you harm.
y
Avoid testing with your Dario™ system in altitudes higher than 3,400 meters
(11,155 feet), as accuracy cannot be assured.
y
Do not leave the meter in very hot or cold places. Do not leave it near a heat
source (radiator) or in a car in hot or cold weather.
y
Do not store or use meter or test strips in high humidity, such as a bathroom or kitchen.
AddItIonAl InforMAtIon
For your safety, please observe the following recommendations when monitoring
your blood glucose using the Dario™ system:
y
It is always a good idea to have a back-up testing method available. Failure to
test could cause a delay in treatment decisions and lead to a serious medical
condition. Examples of back-up testing methods include a back-up glucose
meter device or testing by a laboratory. Ask your healthcare provider about
other possible back-up methods.
y
It is recommended that you periodically compare the test results from your
Dario™ BGMS with another test system that you know is well-maintained and
monitored by a healthcare provider.
y
Do not change your treatment based on a single result that does not match how
you feel or if you believe that your test result could be incorrect.
y
Never make significant changes to your diabetes control program or ignore
physical symptoms without consulting with your healthcare professional.
