Important Information
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false
low results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehy-
dration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
Test results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) mean low blood glu-
cose (hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 13.3 mmol/L (240
mg/dL) mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you get
results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) or above 13.3 mmol/L (240
mg/dL), and do not have symptoms, first repeat the test. If you
have symptoms or continue to get results that fall below 3.3
mmol/L (60 mg/dL) or above 13.3 mmol/L (240 mg/dL), follow
the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with
your blood glucose test results AND you have followed all
instructions described in the PocketScan™ Owner’s Booklet,
call your healthcare professional.
A red blood cell count (Haematocrit) that is very high (above
55%) or very low (below 30%) can cause false results.
