Lifescan SureStep Blood Glucose Monitor - Manual (Page 42)

IMPORTANT: When proper procedures
are followed, the meter will display HI in
virtually all cases when your result is
above 500 mg/dL (27.8 mmol/ L). The
confirmation dot color will also be dark-
er than the 350-mg/dL-sample color dot
on the Color Chart. This indicates very
high blood glucose (severe hyper-
glycemia). 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 message instead of a
number as a result, you can quickly
check to see if your
glucose is very low (50
mg/dL) or very high
(350 mg/dL) prior to
troubleshooting the
error message. To
quickly see if your glu-
cose is very low (50
mg/dL) or very high
(350 mg/dL), compare
the color of the test strip confirmation
dot with the sample color dots on the
Color Chart on the test strip bottle label.
◆ If the test strip confirmation dot color is
approximately the same as or lighter than
the “50 mg/dL” color dot, your glucose
level is very low.
◆ If the test strip confirmation dot color is
approximately the same as or darker
than the “350 mg/dL” sample color dot,
your glucose level is very high.
