CAUTION
- Test results may vary if blood samples are taken from different sites or under certain
conditions when glucose levels are changing rapidly such as: following a drink, a meal, an
insulin dose or exercise. In these cases, only the fingertip should be used.
- DO NOT test on the palm or forearm if you are testing for hypoglycemia (Low blood glucose).
- Fingertip samples can show rapid changes in glucose faster than palm or forearm samples.
- Consult your healthcare professionals before sampling from your palm or forearm.
- Since the blood flow in the forearm is less than that in the fingertips or palm, use the clear cap
with the GE Lancing Device when testing on the forearm.
- If you use the depth adjustable cap when testing on the forearm the blood sample may not
large enough for the meter.
- Periodically compare the test system to a laboratory test system that is known to be well
maintained and monitored by a healthcare provider.
Alternative Site Testing View Window Appearance
Make sure your blood sample covers the whole
area of the view window to get an accurate test
result. An insufficient blood sample will result in
an error message ("Er4"). If this occurs, repeat
the test with a new test strip.
CAUTION
- Check the expiration date printed on the package every time you use the strip. Do not use
expired GE100 Blood Glucose Test Strips.
- Use each GE100 Blood Glucose Test Strip immediately after taking it from the vial.
- Do not reuse GE100 Blood Glucose Test Strips.
- Do not perform testing immediately after moving from one ambient temperature to another
(e.g. after coming indoors from the outside). Allow 30 minutes for the temperature of the
meter and the test strips to equilibrate.
