Important Information
• Severe dehydration resulting from excessive water loss may
cause false low results. If you believe you are suffering from
severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional
immediately.
• Test results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) mean low blood
glucose (hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 10.0 mmol/L
(180 mg/dL) mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you
get results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) or above 10.0 mmol/L
(180 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 10.0 mmol/L (180 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 OneTouch
® Ultra ® Owner’s Booklet,
call your healthcare professional.
• A red blood cell count (hematocrit) that is either very high
(above 55%) or very low (below 30%) can cause false results.
