Preface

Thank you for selecting the GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System. This manual provides all the
information you need to operate this product for accurate test results. Please read this entire manual
before you start any testing.

For people living with diabetes, it is important to regularly monitor blood glucose levels to effectively
reduce complications from the disease. The easy-to-use GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System
provides accurate, reliable test results to help you better manage your diabetes.

The GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is designed for in vitro diagnostic use only (for self-testing
by a single user outside the body). Testing requires only a small amount of fresh capillary whole blood
from either the fingertip, palm or forearm.

The GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is manufactured and supported by Bionime Corporation. If
you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local Bionime Customer Service or call us at
886 0800 241 688 GMT+08:00, 08:30~17:30.

The GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is a personal blood glucose monitoring system to be used
for self-testing only. It is not recommended for multiple users.

A healthcare professional should be contacted when Customer Service is not available.

Precaution

- Before using the GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System to test your blood glucose, please read all of
the instructions and conduct all of the tests including the quality control test (Refer to page 37).

- Please perform the quality control test regularly to make sure the test results are accurate.

- The GE006 Blood Glucose Meter can only be used with GE006 Blood Glucose Test Strips. Other brands’
test strips should not be used under any circumstances. The use of other brands’ strips may give
inaccurate results.

- The GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only. The GE006
Blood Glucose test results using fresh capillary whole blood samples from the fingertip, palm and
forearm are calibrated to be the equivalent to that of plasma testing.

- The GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for self-testing. It should not be used to
screen for or diagnose diabetes mellitus.

- If the GE006 Blood Glucose Meter and Test Strips are exposed to a substantial change in temperature,
please wait 30 minutes before measurement.

- Follow all environmental protection regulations when disposing of batteries.

- Avoid contact with dripping or splashing liquids.

- The minimum blood sample size to test using the GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is 0.75µL:

( )

Blood sample size above 3.0µL might contaminate the test strip port and the meter.

Blood sample size below 0.75µL may cause an inaccurate result or may prevent a meter reading. An Er4
reading will be displayed if the sample size is too small. In this case, repeat the test with a new test strip.

Sample Size Example

0.75µL 1.0 1.5µL 2.0µLµL 3.0µL
