Can circulation problems affect results?
Yes, circulation problems can affect results whether the sample is obtained from arm or from fingerstick. Read the Owner's Booklet for information on testing precautions and limitations. As stated in the package insert for OneTouch® Ultra® and OneTouch® FastTake®, test results may be falsely low if you are severely dehydrated or severely hypotensive, in shock, or in hyperosmolar state (with or without ketosis). Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood glucose meters.
