Important Health-related Information
- Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or patients
in shock. Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar
state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients should not be tested with
blood glucose meters.
- Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may yield inaccurate results.
If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult your healthcare
team immediately.
- Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may receive inaccurate results.
- Results below 70 mg/dL may mean low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia).
- Results over 240 mg/dL may mean checking ketones is advised.
- Check with your healthcare team regarding your blood glucose target range and what blood glucose values are considered high or low for you.
- If you get results that are high or low and do not have symptoms of hypoglycemia
or hyperglycemia, repeat the test. If you have symptoms, or continue to get results
that fall out of your target range, contact your healthcare team immediately.
- If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your blood sugar
test and you have followed all instructions described in the iBGStar®
Blood Glucose Monitoring System Owner's Guide, follow your healthcare team's
recommendations.
- Do not use test strips that are expired or appear to be damaged as they may
return inaccurate results.
- Healthcare professionals should follow their institution's infection control
protocols.
- Always follow your healthcare team's recommendations.
