Important notes
The Omnitest® 5 system provides a quick and easy way to
measure the blood glucose level. It can be used for selfmonitoring of blood glucose levels by patients with diabetes.
Omnitest® 5 is not intended for any purpose other than measuring the blood glucose level and is intended for use exclusively
with fresh capillary or venous whole blood samples. It should
not be used to diagnose diabetes or for newborn testing
(neonates). Omnitest® 5 is intended for use outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use only).
NOTE
Prior to use, read all of the instructions in this manual for
the Omnitest® 5 meter and the additional information in the
test strip instructions for use. Practice the correct and safe
procedure for measuring blood glucose. You should follow the
recommendations of your diabetes care professional for correct
use of this meter and daily management of your diabetes. Do
not change your treatment based on the Omnitest® 5 blood
glucose readings without consulting your physician beforehand.

Prior to first use, check that the vial is undamaged and
closed.
Store the test strips in the original vial in a cool, dry place
between +2 °C to +30 °C (+36 °F to +86 °F).
Close the vial cap immediately after removing a test strip and
use the test strip immediately.
Do not use test strips after the expiration date.
Avoid getting dirt, food or water on the test strip. All parts
of the test strip could be touched with dry and clean fingers.
Do not bend, cut or alter an Omnitest® 5 test strip and coding
on the backside.
Blood glucose tests may only be performed between
+10 °C and +40 °C (+50 °F and +104 °F) and at a relative
humidity of less than 90 %.

LancetLancing device
Use a new sterile Omnican® Lance soft lancet for blood
collection after every use to ensure as little pain as possible.
If used multiple times, the tip of the lancet becomes increasingly blunt and supports the formation of calluses as
well as the risk of infection.
Clean the Omnican® Lance lancing device on a regular basis
and whenever blood or other contamination is present after
taking a sample to prevent from the transmission of infectious
diseases.
Further handling instructions can be found starting of page 20.
Additional cleaning instructions can be found on page 27.
NOTE
To avoid transmission of infectious diseases, the lancing
device must only be used for one patient.

Cleanliness
The easiest way of collecting a blood drop is by firstly washing
the hands with warm and soapy water, let them dry completely
afterwards. This supports blood circulation in the finger tips.
The puncture site can alternatively be wiped with an alcoholsoaked swab. Please ensure that the site is completely dry before
collecting the blood sample.
Taking the blood sample from clean finger tips prevents incorrect
blood glucose measurements due to residues on skin surface of
the fingertip. E.g. contact with food (especially fruits), alcohol,
sweat and dirt before testing can distort the results.
20
Blood collection
Prepare the lancing device and lancet. Use a new sterile lancet
for every blood sample. The lancing device is determined for
one's personal use only or for use with only one patient since
its tip may be contaminated after use.
Further information on blood collection can be found starting
on page 22.
NOTE
Please read the additional information in the test strip
instructions for use.
Your diabetes care professional will tell you your optimal
blood glucose ranges. Consult your physician before making
any changes to your diabetes therapy.

Collecting blood with the lancing device
Preparing the lancing device
Unscrew the cap of the Omnican® Lance device.
Firmly insert a new Omnican® Lance soft lancet into the lancet
holder. Remove the protective cap from the Omnican® Lance soft
lancet carefully in straight direction. Take care not to harm the
delicate tip.
22
Screw the cap of Omnican® Lance on the device again.
The dialable tip of Omnican® Lance provides 7 finely graduated
settings of penetration depths. Setting 1 is for most shallow,
setting 7 for deepest penetration depth. Choose the penetration
depth that is most suitable for your personal condition of skin:
1-3 for soft or thin skin,
4 for normal skin,
5-7 for thick or calloused skin.
In order to adjust penetration depth, hold the device with one
hand at recessed grips and turn the dialable tip with number
values with the other hand. Turn it until the marking arrow
points at the desired number.

Collecting blood with the lancing device
Loading the lancing device
To load the lancing device, push the slide for loading backwards.
You can hear that the tensioning spring snaps into place whilst
the window turns red. The Omnican® Lance lancing device is
now ready to use.
NOTE
The batch code for the device is printed under the slide for
loading. It becomes visible when the slide is moved backwards.
24
Releasing the lancing device
Take the Omnican® Lance lancing device and place it on the
side of your finger tip. The device should lay flatly and without
too much pressure against the surface of your skin. Press the
release button and lift off the lancing device.
It is less painful if you use the side of your fingertip for
puncturing.
Place the Omnican® Lance device aside and wait seconds for
a blood drop to form. You can improve the flow of blood by
keeping your hands warm, lowering them to hip height and
massaging the finger softly.
