– If the confirmation dot is completely
blue, compare it to the sample color dots
on the test strip bottle Color Chart. If the
color comparison indicates very low blood
glucose, repeat the test. If the result is still
lower than expected, perform a quality
control test. A passing control result
indicates the system is working properly.
A control result that is out of range
indicates that the system may not be
working properly. Do not use the system to test
patient blood glucose unless the control solution
result falls within the expected range.
• If patient symptoms are inconsistent with
monitoring results and procedural errors are
ruled out, follow your institution’s policies
for treating the symptoms and confirm the
glucose measurement with a laboratory test.
• If you repeatedly get any error message,
obtain a result from a laboratory test.
Compare the test strip confirmation dot to
the colors on the test strip bottle Color
Chart, and if necessary, take appropriate
precautions while awaiting the laboratory
result. Do not use the Color Chart as a
replacement for a bedside unit result.
• Never make significant changes to a
medication program or ignore signs and
symptoms without consulting a physician.
• Failure to follow the instructions for use may
result in inaccurate results.
