2 SAFETY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS
Risk of infection
All components of the measuring device and accessories may come into contact
with human blood, and are therefore a possible source of infection.
WARNING
• This measuring device must display the blood sugar content in
mg/dL.The unit of measure mg/dL follows the blood sugar value. If
your device does not display mg/dL, contact customer services im-
mediately. You risk damaging your health if you perform a blood su-
gar measurement using an unfamiliar unit of measure, since values
may be interpreted incorrectly and cause the wrong corrective meas-
ures to be taken.
• This measuring device must only be used by one person. There is a risk of
infection if the same device is used by more than one person.
• The lancing device is intended for self-testing. Never share the lancing
device or needle lancet with another person (risk of infection).
• Use a new sterile needle lancet for each blood sample (for single use only).
Measuring
WARNING
• The measured values you determine are useful for information purposes
only – they are not intended to replace consultation with your doctor. Dis-
cuss your blood sugar values with your doctor on a regular basis. Do not
change any aspects of your treatment unless instructed by your doctor.
• Dehydration or loss of fluids, for example, through sweating, can lead to
incorrect results.
• A very high or very low haematocrit value (proportion of red blood cells)
can lead to incorrect measurements. With a very high haematocrit value
(over 60%), the displayed blood sugar value may be too low. If you have a
very low haematocrit value (below 20%), the blood sugar value may be too
high. If you do not know your haematocrit value, ask your doctor.
• Do not use the test strips to take blood sugar measurements of newborn
infants.
• Metabolites such as uric acid, ascorbic acid, acetaminophen (paracetamol),
dopa, methyldopa, L-dopa, and tolbutamide do not influence the results if
they are present within the physiological value range.
• Lipemia effects: Elevated blood triglyceride levels of up to 2000 mg/dL
rarely influence the results. Above this level, however, the blood sugar test
may be affected.
