Yes, certain substances can interfere with the ACCU-CHEK® blood glucose systems and cause falsely high results. For example, if you use peritoneal dialysis solutions containing icodextrin (such as EXTRANEAL®) or take certain immunoglobulin therapies that contain maltose (such as Octagam® 5%, WinRho® SDF Liquid, or HepaGam B™) or other therapies that contain or metabolize to maltose (such as Orenica®, ADEPT® or BEXXAR®) it will cause inaccurate results. Consult your doctor about other options for testing your blood glucose.For more information, please check the insert provided with your product or call ACCU-CHEK® Customer Care at Diabetes (800) 858-8072.
