9. Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may have inaccurate re-
sults.
10.Altitude up to 3050 meters above sea level has no effect on
readings.
11.Test results may be false if the patient is severely dehydrated
or severely hypertensive, in shock, or in hypoglycemic-hyper-
osmolar state (with or without ketosis). Critically ill patients
should not be tested with home-use blood glucose meter.
12.Elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels may interfere with
the way light is reflected producing erroneous meter results.
13.Recent studies have shown that EMI can cause electronic
medical device performance degradation and could lead to
inappropriate therapy.
14.Grossly lipemic (fatty) samples may interfere with some meth-
odologies. To be aware of such interferences, patients under
the supervision of their physician should have baseline glu-
cose values established by a clinical laboratory method prior
to starting home glucose monitoring. These baseline values
should be checked periodically thereafter.
