When using the Accutrend Glucose Control solution, it's important to be aware of certain safety considerations to ensure accurate readings and maintain your health:

• Storage Conditions: Store the control solution at temperatures between 2°C and 30°C. Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 2°C or above 30°C, as this can affect the solution's effectiveness.

• Testing Environment: Perform blood glucose tests in environments where the temperature is between 18°C and 32°C. Testing outside this range may lead to inaccurate results.

• Test Strip Handling: After removing a test strip from its container, immediately close the container with its original stopper to protect the remaining strips from moisture and direct sunlight. This helps maintain their accuracy.

• Desiccant Safety: The stopper of the test strip container contains a non-toxic, silicate-based desiccant to keep the strips dry. If accidentally ingested, drink plenty of water to help flush it out of your system.

• Disposal: All components of the Accutrend Glucose Control pack can be disposed of with regular household waste.

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure the reliability of your blood glucose measurements and maintain the effectiveness of your testing materials.

When using the Accutrend Glucose system, it's important to be aware of certain factors that can affect the accuracy of your blood glucose readings. Some substances and conditions may interfere with the measurement process, leading to incorrect results.

For instance, the presence of oxidizing agents like Hydrogen Peroxide, which is found in some skin disinfectants, can cause falsely low glucose readings. Similarly, intravenous infusions of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) may result in falsely high readings. Elevated bilirubin levels, often seen in conditions like hepatitis, can also interfere with glucose measurements. Additionally, extreme hematocrit levels—either below 30% or above 55%—can affect the accuracy of the readings. Patients undergoing dialysis, except for peritoneal dialysis, and those with significant hyperlipidemia should also be cautious, as these conditions can impact glucose measurements.

It's also worth noting that the Accutrend Glucose system is not affected by maltose. Therefore, patients on peritoneal dialysis using solutions containing icodextrin (such as Extraneal) can use this system without concern for maltose interference.

To ensure the most accurate results, always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about potential interferences with your glucose monitoring.
