Risk of infection

All components of the blood glucose monitor and its accessories may come into contact

with human blood and are therefore a possible source of infections.

Warning

•

This blood glucose monitor must display the blood glucose content in mg/dL. The unit of meas-

urement mg/dL accompanies each blood glucose value. Please contact our customer service

if the device does not display mg/dL. You risk damaging your health if you measure your blood

glucose value using a unit of measurement with which you are not familiar, misinterpret the

values and therefore take incorrect measures.

•

When using the blood glucose monitor for various persons, please observe the generally applicable

regulations regarding disinfection, safety and contamination.

•

Medical carers and others who use this system on several patients must be aware that all products

or objects that come into contact with human blood must be handled, even after cleaning, as though

they could transfer pathogens.

•

The lancing device is suitable for self-testing. Do not share the lancing aid or the lancet needles with

others or amongst various patients (risk of infection!).

•

Use a new, sterile lancet needle for each blood sample (for single use only).

General notes

Warning

Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic ﬁelds and keep it away from radio

systems or mobile telephones.

incorrect measured results.

•

A hematocrit value between 20% and 60% has no signiﬁcant inﬂuence on the measurement results.

•
