Limitations:
•
For in-vitro diagnostic use only (external use only) .
•
Not for diagnosis of or screening for diabetes .
•
Not for testing of neonates .
•
The test strips are for single use only . Do not reuse test strips .
•
The system can give false results greater than 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) above sea level .
•
The system can give false results outside the hematocrit range: 15% to 65% .
•
Individuals experiencing a hypoxia state may yield falsely low results .
•
In situations of decreased peripheral blood flow, capillary blood testing may not be
appropriate as it may not represent the true physiological state . Examples would include but
are not limited to: severe dehydration caused by diabetic ketoacidosis or the hyperosmolar
non-ketotic state, hypotension, shock, or peripheral vascular disease .
•

For single patient use at home by a lay user .
•
Severe dehydration or excessive water loss may cause false low results . If you believe you are
suffering from severe dehydration, consult your physician immediately .
