Limitations of the measurement procedure

1. DO NOT use serum or plasma sample.
2. DO NOT use neonate blood sample.
3. Extreme humidity may affect the results. A relative humidity
greater than 90% may cause incorrect results.
4. The System is designed to be used at temperatures between 10°C
and 35°C (50°F and 95°F). Outside this range, the system may yield
erroneous results.
5. DO NOT reuse the test strips. The test strips are intended for

as a preservative for blood specimens.
7. Hematocrit:
Test strip results are not significantly affected by hematocrits in
range of 30% to 55%. Hematocrit levels less than 30% may
cause incorrect high readings and hematocrit levels greater than
55% may cause incorrect low readings. If you do not know your
hematocrit level, consult your healthcare professional.

stances below may affect the test results:
