ReliOn CONFIRM Manual De Instrucciones De Usuario página 9

• 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. This meter
should not be used to test critically ill patients.
• Triglycerides up to 3,000 mg/dL do not significantly affect test results.
However, glucose values in specimens beyond this triglycerides level
should be interpreted with caution.
• Normal endogenous (within body) natural levels of uric acid, ascorbate
(vitamin C), bilirubin, triglycerides, and hemoglobin do not interfere with
your blood glucose results obtained.
• Externally taken drugs L-dopa, dopamine, methyl-dopa, acetaminophen,
and ibuprofen will not interfere with ReliOn™ Confirm blood glucose results
when taken at therapeutic concentrations.
• The ReliOn™ Confirm system should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes.
• Use only fresh capillary whole blood.
• Do not use the ReliOn™ Confirm Blood Glucose Monitoring System to test
neonates. It has not been validated for neonatal use.
• Always insert the test strip into the meter first, then prick the finger.
Not doing so may result in an"E-6" appearing on the display or a test result
that is higher than the actual value.
• Do not use at altitudes higher than 10,000 ft (3,048 m).
