Storage and Handling:



Prior to first use, check that the vial is undamaged and
closed.



Store the Omnitest® 3 test strip vials in a cool, dry place
between 2 – 30 °C (36 – 86 °F). Do not refrigerate or freeze.
Keep out of direct sunlight. Do not use test strips which
had been stored under inappropriate conditions.



Store test strips in their original vials only. Do not put the
test strips in new vials or in any other container.



Close the vial cap tightly immediately after removing an
Omnitest® 3 test strip. This keeps the strips fully functional
right up to the expiry date.



Use test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.



Do not use test strips after the expiration date printed on
the package or vial since it may cause inaccurate results.



Make a notation on the vial label of the date when you first
open it. Discard remaining Omnitest® 3 test strips 6 months
after first opening the vial.



Avoid getting dirt, food or water on the test strip. Do not
handle test strips with wet hands. All parts of the test strip
should only be touched with dry and clean fingers.



Do not bend, cut, or alter an Omnitest® 3 test strip.



Omnitest® 3 test strips are for single use only.

- 14 -



Be careful not to modify the auto-coding label on the back
side of the test strip.



Do not perform blood glucose tests at temperature below
+10 °C (50 °F) or above +40 °C (104 °F) and above 90 % relati­ve humidity.



Warning! Keep the test strip bottle away from children.
A child could choke on the cap or the test strips. The test
strip and the vial wall contain agents that may be harmful
if swallowed.

!

NOTE

Please refer to the user’s manual for Omnitest® 3
blood glucose test strip for additional information.

Automatic Coding of the Meter

Insert Omnitest® 3 test strip to turn on the meter. A special
auto-coding label on the back side of the test strip calibrates
the Omnitest® 3 meter automatically. Before testing, make sure
that the code number of the test strip vial matches the code
shown on the meter. If these two code numbers match,
you can start testing.

Automatic Coding of the Meter



If the code on the vial and the meter do not match, you will
not get accurate test results of your blood glucose level.



Make sure that you are checking the code against the right
vial.



Verify that the auto-code label on the back side of the test
strip is undamaged.



Insert the test strip again or try another test strip.



If problem still exists, please contact your local distributor
for warranty services.

!

CAUTION

Do not test, if the code numbers do not match.

- 17 -

Battery

Change batteries when the battery icon appears on the
display or when the meter does not power on by any means.

The meter needs two 3V lithium-batteries (CR2032). Batteries
are provided with the Omnitest® 3 meter system.

The Omnitest® 3 system could also operate with a single
3V lithium-battery (CR2032) which will reduce the operating
time.

- 18 -

Battery

When changing batteries, pay attention to the polarity, which
is printed in the battery holder of the meter. The positive pole
of the batteries has to face up.

If the new batteries are inserted, at first all segments of the
display will be shown. Thereafter an internal check of the
electronic takes place in the following seconds.
Correct the date and time setting after the battery change.

with your symptoms or if you think they are not accurate.



If you have dropped the meter.



For quality control in the point of care usage.



For teaching or learning the system.

To perform a control solution test, follow the same test pro­cedure as for a blood glucose test, substituting control solution
for the drop of blood. For detail instruction, see page 46
“Testing Your Blood Glucose”.

test result.

Lancing:

Prepare the lancing device and lancet. Insert an unused
needle (lancet) in the lancing device. Refer to page 42 for
more information.

that the meter is maintained with proper care. Clean and dry
your hands before use to prevent any damage of the meter and
the test strips.



The meter should be cared after test, and cleaned if neces­sary with soft cloth or paper tissues. Objects which had
been in contact with blood bear the potential risk for trans­mitting an infectious disease. If necessary, alcohol swabs
can be used to wipe out dirt on the outer surface of the
meter, but chemical solution such as benzene or acetone
MUST NOT be used since either of those can harm and
damage the meter surface.
When cleansing the meter with pure alcohol, DO NOT pour
directly onto the meter, but use the cloth soaked with a
small amount of alcohol. After cleansing the meter,
dry completely at a cool place avoiding direct sun light.
The meter or the test strips are not to be placed into
water or any other liquid.



Do not put the meter and strip near fire or microwave
ovens. Strong electromagnetic fields (e.g. mobile phones,
microwave ovens) could disturb the meter function.
Omnitest® 3 complies with the requirements concerning
electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic
emission (according to IEC 61326).

- 57 -

Furthermore immunity of Omnitest® 3 against electrostatic
discharge (according to IEC 61000-4-2) and high frequent
electromagnetic fields (according to IEC 61000-4-3) was
tested. A disturbance of other electronic equipment is not
likely.



After test, put the parts of Omnitest® 3 in the pouch
together, and keep it at a cool and dry place out of the
reach of children. Do not refrigerate. Avoid exposure to the
sun.



For detailed storage instructions for Omnitest® 3 test strips,
refer to the user’s manual of Omnitest® 3 test strips.



The lancing device should be cleaned if blood or stain
remains after test for infectious disease prevention.



Discharge used materials according to the local regulations
for contaminated materials.

Limitations of the System:

For any additional information concerning limitations of the
system or interferences that may affect test results, please
refer to the user’s manual for Omnitest® 3 blood glucose test
strip. Omnitest® 3 complies with the requirements of
EN ISO 15197. Exchange your blood glucose meter after maxi­mum 5000 measurements or at the latest 5 years after first use
of the device.

Test Principle:

The enzyme glucose oxidase on the test strip reacts specifically
with the blood glucose. The current generated is converted and
displayed as blood glucose value.

The Omnitest® 3 system is plasma-calibrated to allow easy
comparison of results with laboratory methods.

Blood glucose meters which are calibrated against a whole
blood method may have different results in comparison to

Omnitest® 3. The laboratory system used for calibration of the
Omnitest® 3 system is YSI 2300 STAT plus which is equipped

with a glucose oxidase system.

Transfer Test Results to a Computer

You can transfer test results from the Omnitest® 3 meter to
a computer, where the data can be further analyzed. To make
use of this feature, you need the Omnitest® 3 PC interface
cable REF 9152856G, as well as a link to the Online Diary
Omnitest® Center. The monitor will display ”PC“ as soon as
the cable is connected to the PC and the software is activated.
