PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
•If you experience symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose results, and you have carefully followed the procedure described in your owner’s booklet, contact your healthcare professional immediately.
•DO NOT make significant changes to your medication program or ignore physical symptoms without consulting your healthcare professional.
•If the message HI DANGER appears on the meter display, this indicates severe high blood sugar (hyperglycemia); contact your doctor immediately.
•Note that extremes in whole blood hematocrits, above 60% or below 25%, can cause false low results.
•Reducing substances, such as Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), have little effect on blood glucose results when found in normal blood concentrations. However, abnormally high concentrations of reducing substances in blood will cause false low test results.
•DO NOT use blood samples with preservatives that contain fluoride (in gray top test tubes). You will get false low results.
•When testing, removal of the test strip prior to display of the blood glucose result may give you a false result.
