Important Information

Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings

which are lower than actual values. If you believe you are

suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare

professional immediately.



If your blood glucose results or ß-ketone are lower or higher than

usual, and you do not have any symptoms of illness, first repeat

the test. If you have symptoms or continue to get results which are

higher or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your

healthcare professional.



Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose or

ß-ketone. Using other substances will lead to inaccurate results.



If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your

blood glucose or ß-ketone test results and you have followed all

the instructions given in this owner’s manual, contact your

healthcare professional.



The device should not be used on severely hypotensive individuals

or patients in shock. Readings which are lower than actual values

may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycemic-

hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Please consult the

healthcare professional before use.

hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis; not for neonatal use;

not for use on critically ill patients.

Test Principle

Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) or ß-ketone in

whole blood. The glucose or ß-ketone testing is based on the

measurement of electrical current generated by the reaction of glucose

or ß-ketone with the reagent of the strip. The meter measures the

current, calculates the blood glucose or ß-ketone level, and displays

the result. The strength of the current produced by the reaction

depends on the amount of glucose or ß-ketone in the blood sample.
