• The iHealth glucometer is not designed to be used on newborns.
• The iHealth glucometer is not designed for analysing arterial blood, serum or plasma.
• The iHealth glucometer must be used exclusively with iHealth test strips (EGS-2003).
• The iHealth glucometer can be used at a maximum altitude of 3276 meters.
• At levels higher than normal or at therapeutic levels, the following substances can interfere significantly (affecting the result by more than 10%), leading to an incorrect result:
  • Ascorbic acid
  • Uric acid
  • Paracetamol
  • Dopamine
  • L-dopa, etc.

When present at normal concentrations, these substances do not affect test results. However, they may affect test results if they are present at high concentrations. Do not use samples presenting a haemolysis, jaundice or hyperlipidemia.

• Patients being treated with oxygen therapy are likely to obtain incorrectly low readings.
• Do not use for patients presenting a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar syndrome, with or without ketosis.
• Do not use for seriously ill patients.
• Do not use for patients who are dehydrated, hypertensive, hypotensive or in shock.
• An abnormally low or high red blood cell count (haematocrit) is likely to lead to incorrect results. If you do not know your haematocrit level, please contact your doctor.
• We recommend that the iHealth glucometer is regularly compared with another glucometer under meticulous oversight and care by a health professional.
