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.
