IMPORTANT: When proper procedures
are followed, the meter will display HI in
virtually all cases when your result is
above 27.8 mmol/L (500 mg/dL). The
confirmation dot colour will also be
darker than the 19.4 mmol/L
(350 mg/dL) sample colour dot on the
Colour Chart. This indicates very high
blood glucose (severe hyperglycemia).
Follow the advice of your Healthcare
Professional.
If you get an error message, see
“
What to
do” in Troubleshooting.
(Example)
If you get an error mes-
sage instead of a num-
ber as a result, you can
quickly check to see if
your glucose is very low
(2.8 mmol/L) or very
high (19.4 mmol/L)
prior to troubleshooting
the error message. To
quickly see if your glu-
cose is very low (2.8 mmol/L) or very high
(19.4 mmol/L), compare the colour of the
test strip confirmation dot with the sam-
ple colour dots on the Colour Chart on the
test strip vial label.
◆
If the test strip confirmation dot colour is
approximately the same as or lighter than
the “2.8 mmol/L” colour dot, your glu-
cose level is very low.
◆
If the test strip confirmation dot colour is
approximately the same as or darker
