Monitoring System is for in-vitro diagnostic use only. MHC Customer Service
is available toll free at (877) 358-4342, Monday thru Friday, 9am to 5pm EST.
Intended Use
The EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be
used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary
blood samples drawn from the ngertips, ventral palm, dorsal hand,
upper arm, forearm, calf and/or thigh. The EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Glucose
Monitoring System is intended to be used by a single patient and should
not be shared.
The EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Glucose Monitoring System is intended for
self-testing by people with diabetes at home and on the go, and also for
healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. The EasyTouch® HealthPro™
Glucose Monitoring System should not be used for the diagnosis of or
screening of diabetes or for neonatal use. Alternative site testing should be
done only during steady–state times (when glucose is not changing rapidly).
The EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Glucose Test Strips are for use with the
EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Meter to quantitatively measure glucose (sugar) in
fresh capillary blood samples drawn from the ngertips, ventral palm, dorsal
hand, upper arm, forearm, calf and/or thigh.
The EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Glucose Control Solutions are for use with the
EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Meter and Test Strips to check that the meter and test
strips are working together properly. The test also serves as a quality control
to ensure the accuracy of the glucose test results.
The EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Glucose Monitoring System provides a quick and
easy way for patients with diabetes to measure their blood sugar levels.
It should only be used with fresh capillary blood samples. It is designed for
in-vitro diagnostics use only and should not be used for any purpose other
than monitoring blood sugar levels. It should not be used for the diagnosis of
diabetes or for the testing of newborns (neonates).
WARNING:
Do not change your medication based on the EasyTouch® HealthPro™
meter test results without contacting your physician or healthcare
professional.
Important Safety Instructions
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) have become increasingly concerned about
the risks for transmitting Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and other blood born
pathogens to persons undergoing nger stick procedures for blood sampling
(Ex. Persons with diabetes who require assistance monitoring their blood
glucose levels). Reports of HBV infection outbreaks linked to diabetes care
have been increasing. This notice serves as a reminder that nger stick
devices should never be used for more than one person.
WARNING:
1. The EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Meter and Lancing Device are for single
patient use only. Do not share them with anyone, including other family
members. Do not use on multiple patients.
2. All parts of the kit are considered bio-hazardous and can potentially
transmit infectious diseases, even after you have cleaned
and disinfected.
3. Always use a new sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
4. Avoiding getting hand lotions, oil, dirt or debris in and/or on the lancets
and lancing device.
5. Please refer to page 33 for cleaning and disinfecting the EasyTouch®

Setting Your MeterComparing Your Meter & Lab Results
Test results with the EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Glucose Monitoring System are
plasma-equivalent. This method will help you and your healthcare professional
compare your meter results with laboratory test results. The EasyTouch®
HealthPro™ test results and laboratory test results both are expressed in
plasma-equivalent units. However, your glucose monitor results may dier from
your laboratory results due to normal variation. Your glucose monitor results
can be aected by factors and conditions that do not aect laboratory results
in the same way.
Your EasyTouch® HealthPro™ monitor value is considered accurate when it
is within ± 20% of the laboratory measurement. There are some specic
situations that could cause a difference of more than ± 20%.
1. You are severely dehydrated.
2. You have eaten recently. The blood glucose level from blood obtained
from a ngertip can be up to 70mg/dL higher than blood drawn from a
vein (venous sample) used for a lab test.
3. Your hematocrit is above 60% or below 20%. Sacks, D.B.: Carbohydrates:

Clinical Chemistry. Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders Company (1994), 959
If you perform a blood sugar test with the system at a temperature near the
low end of the operating range, it could result in a false high blood sugar.
Repeat the test in a warmer environment with a new test strip as soon as
possible. For additional information on possible limitations for accuracy
on precision, please refer to your test strip insert. In order to make the
most accurate comparison to your laboratory results, please follow a few
basic guidelines:
Before going to the Lab
Do not eat for at least two hours before you test your blood. Perform a control
solution test to make sure the meter is working properly. Take your meter with
you to the lab.
While at the Lab
Follow all instructions in this owner’s booklet for performing a blood sugar
test with your meter. Conduct your meter test within 15 minutes of lab test.
Use only fresh capillary blood obtained from the ngertip.
You may still experience a dierence from the laboratory test results because
blood sugars can change very rapidly over a short period of time. This is due to
a variety of reasons such as exercise, medication, stress or loss of body uids.
The EasyTouch® HealthPro™ Meter has a wide variety of functions from which
to choose. From the setup mode you have the ability to turn activity/meal ags,
set the date/time, designate three averages and set up to ve daily alarms.
