Important Information
•
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false
low results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehy-
dration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
•
Test results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) mean low blood glu-
cose (hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 13.3 mmol/L (240
mg/dL) mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you get
results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) or above 13.3 mmol/L (240
mg/dL), and do not have symptoms, first repeat the test. If you
have symptoms or continue to get results that fall below 3.3
mmol/L (60 mg/dL) or above 13.3 mmol/L (240 mg/dL), follow
the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
•
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with
your blood glucose test results AND you have followed all
instructions described in the PocketScan™ Owner’s Booklet,
call your healthcare professional.
•
A red blood cell count (Haematocrit) that is very high (above
55%) or very low (below 30%) can cause false results.
