Beurer GL40 (mg/dL) [9/40] Warning

Beurer GL40 mg/dL 9

Warning

• Lipemia effects: Increased blood triglycerides up to 3000 mg/dL hardly affect the results.

Above this level, however, the blood sugar test may be affected.

• Only use fresh capillary whole blood. Do not use serum or plasma.

• Use capillary blood obtained without squeezing the puncture site. Squeezing causes

interstitial fluid to dilute the blood and leads to a false measurement result.

• Do not use the test strips at elevations over 3048 m.

Note

• The Beurer GL40 mg/dL measuring system is suitable for measuring capillary whole

blood.

Storage and maintenance

Warning

• Store the measuring device and accessories out of the reach of young children. Small

parts, such as needle lancets, batteries or test strips, can be life-threatening if swal-

lowed. If parts are swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.

• The test strip container contains a desiccant that may cause skin or eye irritations if

inhaled or swallowed. Keep the container out of reach of young children.

The measuring device is made from precision and electronic components. The accuracy

of the measured values and service life of the unit depend on careful use:

• Protect the unit and accessories from impacts, moisture, dirt, large temperature fluc-

tuations and direct sunlight. Do not store the unit, the test strips and the control solu-

tion in a refrigerator, bathroom or car!

• Do not let the unit fall.

Batteries/Saving measured values

Warning

• Make sure batteries are not accessible to children. Children can put batteries in their

mouth and swallow them. This can cause severe harm to their health. In this case,

consult a physician immediately!

• Normal batteries must not be recharged, heated or thrown into an open flame (danger

of explosion!).
