Precautions Precautions • Do not drop this unit. Please avoid strong impact. Disassembly or modification of the unit may lead to permanent reading error. • The device might not meet its performance specifications if stored or used beyond the specified temperature and humidity ranges. • Operating conditions: 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C), below 80% RH. • System storage: 39.2°F to 86°F (4°C to 30°C), below 80% RH. • Be sure to keep this manual for future reference.
Important Information Important Information • Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately. • Test results below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) indicate hypoglycemia, or low glucose. Test results higher than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L) indicate hyperglycemia, or high glucose. Consult your physician when one of these results is shown repetitively.
About Alternative Site Testing (AST) About Alternative Site Testing (AST) IMPORTANT: There are limitations for doing alternative site testing (AST).Please consult your healthcare professional before you do AST. What is AST? Alternative site testing (AST) means that people use parts of the body other than fingertips to check their blood glucose levels. This system provides you to test on your forearm, upper arm, calf, or thigh with the equivalent results to fingertip testing when used at appropriate times.
Package Contents Package Contents How to increase the accuracy? Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site prior to blood extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value obtained. Blood from the site without rubbing exhibits a measurably different glucose concentration than blood from the finger. When the puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference was significantly reduced.
