3. IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
CONTROL SOLUTION TESTS
Our Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose that
reacts with test strips and is used to ensure your glucometer and
test strips are working together correctly.
Test strips, control solutions, or sterile lancets may not be included
in the kit (please check the contents on your product box). They
can be purchased separately. Please make sure you have those
items needed for a blood glucose test beforehand.
Do a control solution test when:
- You first receive the glucometer,
- At least once a week to routinely check the glucometer and test
strips,
- You begin using a new vial of test strips,
- You suspect the glucometer or test strips are not working
properly,
- Your test results are not consistent with how you feel, or if you
think the results are not accurate,
- Practicing the testing process,
or
- You have dropped or think you may have damaged the
glucometer.

4.2. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
4.2.1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual,
and you do not have any symptoms of hypoglycemia or
hyperglycemia, 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 capillary whole blood samples to test your blood
glucose. Using other substances will lead to incorrect results.
- Use only heparin (sodium heparin) for anticoagulation of whole
blood samples (for blood samples stored in a test tube). Using
other substances will lead to incorrect results.
- If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your
test results and you have followed all the instructions given in this
owner's manual, contact your healthcare professional.
- The blood glucose measurement performed from a capillary
blood sample can be inaccurate in people with reduced
peripheral blood circulation.
4.2.2. CONTRAINDICATIONS
- 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.
- Hyperglycemia accompanied by hyperosmolarity may have a
negative effect on the glucose measurements in the peripheral
blood.
- Severely hypotensive individuals or patients in shock may also
affect the glucose measurements in the peripheral blood. Please
consult the healthcare professional before use.
