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.
Elevated blood triglycerides, reducing substances such as uric acid and
ascorbic acid at normal blood concentration, or acetaminophen, dopa,
methyldopa, L-dopa, and tolbutamide at normal blood concentrations
should not significantly affect the test results.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your blood
glucose test results and you have followed all instructions described in
this owner's manual, call your healthcare professional.
Test results below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) indicate low blood glucose
(hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L)
indicate high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you get results below
60 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL, repeat the test, and if the results are
still below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L),
consult your healthcare professional immediately.
Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or
patients in shock. Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals expe-
riencing a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.
Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood glucose meters.
Please refer to your test strip package insert for additional important
information.

About Alternative Site Testing (AST)

Important: There are important limitations to AST. Please consult your
healthcare professionals before you do AST.
What is AST?
Alternative Site Testing (AST) means you can use parts of the body
other than your fingertips to check your blood glucose levels. The
PRODIGY blood glucose meters allow you to test on your palm, fore-
arm, upper arm, calf, or thigh.
