When using the GLUCOCARD Expression blood glucose monitoring system, it's important to be aware of certain risks to ensure accurate readings and maintain your health:

• Dehydration: Severe dehydration can lead to inaccurate blood glucose test results. If you suspect you're severely dehydrated, contact your healthcare professional immediately.

• Hematocrit Levels: Blood samples with hematocrit levels higher than 55% or lower than 30% may cause inaccurate readings.

• Alternate Site Testing (AST): Testing on sites other than your fingertip, such as the forearm or palm, can yield different results. AST should not be used if:

  • You're unaware of low blood sugar symptoms.
  • It's within two hours after eating, exercising, or taking medication.
  • You're operating machinery or driving.
  • You're ill.
  • You suspect low blood sugar.
  • AST results don't match how you feel.
  • You're testing for high blood sugar.
  • Your glucose levels fluctuate often.
  • You're pregnant.

• Test Strip Integrity: Always use new, undamaged test strips. Reusing or using expired strips can lead to incorrect results.

• Device Sharing: The meter and lancing device are for single-patient use only. Sharing can increase the risk of transmitting infectious diseases.

• Environmental Conditions: Store and use the meter and test strips within the temperature range of 50°F to 104°F. Avoid high humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens.

• Cleaning and Disinfection: Regularly clean and disinfect your meter and lancing device to prevent contamination. Use appropriate disinfectants and follow the manufacturer's guidelines.

By adhering to these precautions, you can help ensure the accuracy of your blood glucose readings and maintain your health.

The GLUCOCARD Expression blood glucose monitoring system is designed to provide accurate readings under typical conditions. However, certain factors can influence test results:

• Dehydration: Severe dehydration may lead to inaccurate blood glucose readings. If you suspect significant dehydration, contact your healthcare professional immediately.

• Hematocrit Levels: Hematocrit refers to the proportion of red blood cells in your blood. Levels below 30% or above 55% can cause inaccurate glucose readings.

• Oxygen Therapy: Undergoing oxygen therapy may affect test results. Consult your healthcare provider if you're receiving such treatment.

• Alternate Site Testing (AST): Testing on sites other than fingertips, such as the forearm or palm, should be done only during steady-state conditions (when glucose levels are not changing rapidly). AST is not recommended:

  • Within two hours after meals, exercise, or medication.
  • If you experience hypoglycemic unawareness.
  • When operating machinery or driving.
  • If you're feeling unwell or suspect low blood sugar.

Always consult with your healthcare professional before making changes to your testing routine or if you have concerns about your blood glucose readings.
