GIMA Blood Glucose Test Strips
The GIMA Blood Glucose Test Strips are thin strips with a chemical reagent which
work with the GIMA Blood Glucose Meter to measure the glucose concentration in
whole blood. After the strip is inserted into the meter, blood is applied to the
sample tip of the test strip. The blood is then automatically absorbed into the
reaction cell where the reaction takes place. A transient electrical current is
formed during the reaction and the blood glucose concentration is calculated
based on the electrical current detected by the meter. The result is shown on the
meter display. The meter is calibrated to display plasma equivalent results.
Sample Tip
Apply blood or control solution here.
Check Window
Check to confirm that a sufficient
sample size has been applied.
IMPORTANT: Apply the sample only to the sample tip of the test strip. Do not
apply blood or control solution to the top of the test strip as this may result in an
inaccurate reading.
Hold the blood drop to the sample tip
of the test strip until the check window
is completely full and until the meter
begins to count down. If you applied
blood but do not see the starting of the
count down, you may reapply a
second drop of blood within 3 seconds.
If the check window does not fill and
the meter starts to count down, then
do not add more blood to the test strip.
If you do then you may get an E-5
message or an inaccurate test result.
In this case if the meter begins to
count down and the check window
does not fill, discard the strip and begin the test again with a new test strip.

Performing a Quality Control Test
The quality control test confirms that the test strips and meter are working
together properly, and that you are performing the test correctly. It is important to
perform this test:
Before you first use your meter.
Before using a new box of test strips.
When you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.
When you suspect that your test results are inaccurate, or if they are
inconsistent with how you feel.
When you suspect your meter is damaged.
After cleaning your meter.
At least once a week.
1. Insert a test strip into the strip port, contact bars end first and facing up, to turn
on the meter and display all the display segments. If the audio option is on,
the meter will beep, signaling the meter is turned on.
2. Check the display to confirm that all the display segments turn on. Next, a
dash will move across the display. See illustrations below.
NOT READY NOT READY NOT READY
3. The meter is ready for testing when the blinking blood drop and strip symbol
appear. The display will show the date time and the strip icon with the blood
sample icon blinking to indicate that the test strip is inserted correctly. You can
then add a drop of control solution.
READY TO TEST
Note: If the test strip has been inserted incorrectly, the meter will not turn on.
19
4. Shake the control solution bottle well, then squeeze it gently and discard the
first drop. If the tip clogs, tap the tip gently on a clean, hard surface. Then
shake again and use. Squeeze out a second small drop on a clean
nonabsorbent surface. Touch the sample tip of the test strip to the control
solution drop. If the audio option is turned on, the meter will beep to indicate a
sufficient sample has been applied.
Notes:
Do not apply control solution to the test strip directly from the bottle.
If you applied the control solution sample but do not see the starting of the
count down, you may reapply a second drop within 3 seconds.
5. Once a sufficient sample has been applied, the meter display will count down
from 5 to 1 and then the result and a control solution symbol will be displayed
on the screen. The control solution test results should be within the control
range (CTRL 1) printed on the test strip vial (or on the foil pouch). This means
that your blood glucose monitoring system is working properly and that you
are performing the procedure correctly.
OR
Test results are displayed either in mmol/L or mg/dL depending on the unit of
measure most common in your country.
Note: The control solution range is the expected range for the control solution
results. It is not a recommended range for a blood glucose level.
6. Slide forward the strip ejector to discard the used test strip.
The display should also show a pound sign (#) indicating the test is a control
solution test. This shows that the number will not be counted in the 7, 14, 30,
20
60 and 90-day averages. The pound sign (#) will also be displayed when
reviewing the results stored in memory.
If the result falls outside the indicated control range:
Confirm you are matching the correct range. Control Solution 1 results
should be matched to the CTRL 1 range printed on the test strip vial (or on
the foil pouch).
Check the expiration date of the test strip and control solution. Make sure
that the test strip vial and control solution bottle have not been opened for
more than 6 months. Discard any test strips or control solution that has
expired.
Confirm the temperature in which you are testing is between 10 and 40 °C
(50 – 104 ºF).
Make sure that the test strip vial and control solution bottle have been
tightly capped.
Confirm that you are using the same brand of control solution that was
provided with your kit.
Make sure that you followed the test procedure correctly.
After checking all of the conditions listed above, repeat the quality control test with
a new test strip. If your results still fall outside of the control range shown on the
test strip vial (or on the foil pouch), your meter may be defective. Contact your
local distributor for help.
Three levels of control solution are available labeled Control Solution 0, Control
Solution 1 and Control Solution 2. Control Solution 1 is sufficient for most all
self-testing needs. If you think your meter or strips may not be working correctly,
you may also want to perform a CTRL 0 or CTRL 2 test. The ranges for CTRL 0,
CTRL 1 and CTRL 2 are displayed on the test strip vial (or on the foil pouch).
Simply repeat step 4 through 6, using Control Solution 0 or Control Solution 2.
For confirmation of results, Control Solution 0 tests should fall within the CTRL 0
range, Control Solution 1 tests should fall within the CTRL 1 range and Control
Solution 2 tests should fall within the CTRL 2 range. If the control solution test
results do not fall within the respective ranges, DO NOT use the system to test
blood, as the system may not be working properly. If you cannot fix the problem,
contact your local distributor for help.
Please contact your local distributor for information on ordering the GIMA Glucose
Control Solution kit, which contains Control Solution 0, Control Solution 1 and
Control Solution 2.

Testing Your Blood
The following steps will show how to use the meter, test strips, lancing device and
sterile lancets together to measure your blood glucose concentration.
Step 1 – Getting a Drop of Blood
The GIMA Blood Glucose Monitoring System requires a very small drop of blood
which may be obtained from the fingertip, palm (at base of the thumb) or forearm.
Before testing, choose a clean, dry work surface. Familiarize yourself with the
procedure and make sure you have all the items needed to obtain a drop of blood.
IMPORTANT: Prior to testing, wipe the test site with an alcohol swab or soapy
water. Use warm water to increase blood flow if necessary. Then dry your hands
and the test site thoroughly. Make sure there is no alcohol, soap, cream or lotion
on the test site.

3. Carefully screw the cover back onto the lancing device. Avoid contact with the
exposed needle. Make sure the cover is fully sealed on the lancing device.
4. Adjust the puncture depth by rotating the lancing device cover. There are a
total of 11 puncture depth settings. To reduce the discomfort, use the lowest
setting that still produces an adequate drop of blood.
Adjustments:
0 - 1.5 for delicate skin
2 - 3.5 for normal skin
4 - 5 for calloused or thick skin
Note: Greater pressure of the lancing device against the finger will also
increase the puncture depth.
5. Pull the cocking barrel back to set the lancing device. You may hear a click
while the release button changes to orange to indicate the lancing device is
now loaded and ready for obtaining a drop of blood.
23
6. Prior to testing, clean your hands with an alcohol wipe or wash your hands
with soap. Use warm water to increase blood flow in your fingers if necessary.
Then dry your hands thoroughly. Massage the hand from the wrist up to the
fingertip a few times to encourage blood flow.
7. Hold the lancing device against the side of the finger to be lanced with the
cover resting on the finger. Push the release button to prick your fingertip. You
should hear a click as the lancing device activates. Gently massage your
finger from the base of the finger to the tip of the finger to obtain the required
blood volume. Avoid smearing the drop of blood.
For the greatest reduction in pain, lance on the sides of the fingertips.
Rotation of sites is recommended. Repeated punctures in the same spot can
make your fingers sore and callused.
Forearm and Palm Testing
The forearm and palm areas have less nerve endings than the fingertip. You may
find that obtaining blood from these sites is less painful than from the fingertip.
The procedure for forearm and palm sampling is different. You need the clear cap
to draw blood from these sites. The clear cap is not adjustable for puncture depth.
IMPORTANT: There are important differences among forearm, palm and fingertip
24
samples that you should know. Important Information about forearm and palm
glucose testing:
You should consult your healthcare professional before choosing to perform
forearm or palm testing.
When blood levels are changing rapidly such as after a meal, insulin dose or
exercise, blood from the fingertips may show these changes more rapidly than
blood from other areas.
Fingertips should be used if testing is within 2 hours of a meal, insulin dose or
exercise and any time you feel glucose levels are changing rapidly.
You should test with the fingertips anytime there is a concern for
hypoglycemia or you suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness.
Please refer to Fingertip Testing to insert the lancet and load the lancing device.
1. Screw the clear cap onto the lancing device.
2. Choose a puncture site on the forearm or palm. Select a soft and fleshy area
of the forearm and palm that is clean and dry, away from bone, and free of
visible veins and hair.
To bring fresh blood to the surface of the puncture site, massage the puncture
site vigorously for a few seconds until you feel it getting warm.
3. Place the lancing device against the puncture site. Press and hold the clear
cap against the puncture site for a few seconds. Press the release button of
the lancing device, but do not immediately lift the lancing device from the
puncture site. Continue to hold the lancing device against the puncture site
until you can confirm a sufficient blood sample has formed.
25
Disposal of the Lancet
1. Unscrew the lancing device cover. Place the safety tab of the lancet on a hard
surface. Then carefully insert the lancet needle into the safety tab.
2. Press the release button to make sure that the lancet is in the extended
position. Slide the ejection button forward to discard the used lancet. Place
the lancing device cover back on the lancing device.
Lancet Precautions
Do not use the lancet if the safety tab is missing or loose when you take the
lancet out of the bag.
Do not use the lancet if the needle is bent.
Use with caution whenever the lancet needle is exposed.
Never share lancets or the lancing device with other people.
In order to reduce the risk of infection from prior use of the instrument, always
use a new, sterile lancet. Do not reuse lancets.
Avoid getting the lancing device or lancets dirty with hand lotion, oils, dirt or
debris.
26
Step 2 – Testing Blood Glucose
Note: Insertion of a new test strip at any time, except while in the data
transfer mode (detailed on page 34) will cause the meter to automatically
enter the test mode.
1. Insert a test strip into the strip port, contact bars end first and facing up, to turn
on the meter and display all the display segments. If the audio option is on,
the meter will beep, signaling the meter is turned on. The display will turn on
briefly with all the icons and segments turned on. Check the display to confirm
that all the display segments turn on with no missing components.
The display will then show only the date and time, with a dash moving across
the display. Check the display to ensure no inappropriate segments or icons
are permanently turned on.
NOT READY NOT READY NOT READY
2. Following this display check, the system will enter the test mode. The display
will show the date and time and the strip icon with the blood sample icon
blinking, to indicate that the test strip is inserted correctly and a drop of blood
can be added. If the test strip has been inserted incorrectly, the meter will not
turn on. The meter is ready for testing when the blinking blood drop and strip
symbol appears. At this time a blood drop can be added.
READY TO TEST
3. Touch the blood sample to the sample tip at the end of the test strip. If the
audio option is turned on, the meter will also beep to indicate the sample is
sufficient and the measurement has started. If you applied a drop of blood, but
do not see the starting of the count down, you may reapply a second drop of
27
blood within 3 seconds.
DO NOT:
Apply sample to the front or back of the test strip.
Smear the blood drop onto the test strip.
Press your finger against the test strip.
4. The meter will count down from 5 to 1 and then display the measurement
results. If the audio option is on, the meter will also beep to indicate that
measurement is complete. Then your blood glucose level will display on the
screen, along with the unit measurement, date, and time of the test.
Blood Glucose results are automatically stored in the memory. When the meal
marker feature is turned off and a test result is displayed, to mark invalid
results and to prevent them from being included in the 7, 14, 30, 60 and
90-day averages, press the ▼and▲ button together, when a pound sign (#)
appear on the display, then press OK button. A pound sign (#) means that the
result will not be included when calculating the 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90-day
averages. If a result is marked by accident, press the ▼and▲ button together
and then press the ▼or▲ to unmark the result. After marking the invalid result,
run the test again with a new test strip.
OR
When the meal marker feature is turned on and a test result is displayed, mark
the result as “before meal”, “after meal”, or invalid.
Press the ▼and▲ button together to display the “before meal marker” symbol,
indicating the result was taken before a meal.
Press the ▼or▲ button again to display the “after meal marker” symbol,
indicating the result was taken after a meal.
28
Press the ▼or▲ button again to display the pound sign (#), indicating an
invalid result.
Press the ▼or▲ button again then none of the above markers will be
displayed for the result.
After deciding the selection, press the OK to confirm the selection as either
“before meal marker”, “after meal marker”, “invalid result” with pound sign (#)
or none of these three symbols. If an invalid result is marked, run the test
again with a new test strip.
OR
OR
OR
If an error message appears on the display, refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide on page 40. If a “HI” or “LO” error appears on the display, refer to “HI”
and “LO” messages below.
5. After inspection, record valid results in your logbook with the date and time,
and compare them to the target goals set by your diabetes healthcare
professional. Refer to Suggested Testing Times and Target Goals on page
38 for more details on your target blood glucose concentration goals.
6. Slide forward the strip ejector to discard the used test strip.
29
Note: Dispose of blood samples and materials carefully. Treat all blood
samples as if they are infectious materials. Follow proper precautions and
obey all local regulations when disposing of blood samples and materials.
“HI” and “LO” Messages
The meter can accurately measure blood glucose concentrations between 0.6 to
33.3 mmol/L (10 to 600 mg/dL). “HI” and “LO” messages indicate results outside
of this range.
If “HI” appears on the display, the measured concentration value is above
33.3 mmol/L (600 mg/dL). The test should be retaken to ensure that no mistake
was made in the procedure. If you are certain the meter is functioning properly
and no mistakes were made in the procedure, and your blood glucose is still
consistently measured as “HI”, it indicates severe hyperglycemia (high blood
glucose). You should contact your healthcare professional immediately.
If “LO” appears on the display, the measured concentration value is below
0.6 mmol/L (10 mg/dL). The test should be retaken to ensure that no mistake was
made in the procedure. If you are certain the meter is functioning properly and no
mistakes were made in the procedure, and your blood glucose is still consistently
measured as “LO”, it may indicate severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). You
should treat yourself for hypoglycemia immediately as recommended by your
healthcare professional.
“Hypo” and “Hyper” Messages
If “Hypo” appears on the display, the measured concentration value is below the
“Hypo” (low blood sugar) target level that you have set.
30
OR
If “Hyper” appears on the display, the measured concentration value is above the
“Hyper” (high blood sugar) target level that you have set.
OR
“Ketone” Message
If “Ketone?” appears on the display, the measured concentration value is above
16.7 mmol/L (300 mg/dL). This simply suggests that a ketone test is
recommended. Consult your healthcare professional about testing for ketones.
OR
Precautions and Limitations
Please refer to the test strip insert.
31
Using the Meter Memory
The meter automatically stores up to 1000 test records. Each record includes the
test result, time and date. If there are already 1000 records in memory, the oldest
record will be erased to make room for a new one.
The meter will also calculate the average values of records from the last 7, 14, 30,
60 and 90 days.
Viewing Stored Records
To view stored records:
1. Press the ▼ button to turn the meter on and enter memory mode. The most
recent value and the word “MEM” will appear on the display.
OR
2. If you are using the meter for the very first time, the meter display will show
three dashed lines (- - -), the word “MEM” and the unit of measure. This shows
that no data have been stored in memory.
3. The date and time will be displayed together with the results stored in memory.
A pound sign (#) indicates records that will be omitted from the 7, 14, 30, 60
and 90-day averages.
4. Press the ▼or ▲ button to view the previous or next stored records.
Press the OK button to view the data averages. The words “DAY AVG” will
appear on the screen.
Note: If you do not wish to view your average glucose measurements, you
can press the ▼ button to return to see stored records, or press OK button
again to turn off the display.
32
5. While in data average mode:
If the meal marker feature is off, press the ▲ button to switch between the
general 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90-day averages.
If the meal marker feature is on, press the ▲ button to switch between the
general, pre-meal and post-meal 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90-day averages.
The meter will calculate the average that you selected. The number of
records used in the DAY AVG will also appear in the display.
Note: Only test results that have been marked as “before meal” or “after
meal” are included in pre-meal and post-meal averages. All blood glucose
results are included in the general 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90-day averages.
OR
6. If there are fewer than 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90 days in memory, all the readings
without the pound (#) sign currently stored in memory will be averaged.
7. If you are using the meter for the very first time, no value will appear on the
display. This means that no records have been stored in memory. If you have
not marked any results as “before meal” or “after meal”, no value will appear
on the display for the pre-meal or post-meal averages. This means that no
records have been stored as “before meal” or “after meal” in memory.
8. Press the OK button to turn off the display.
Note: Results from quality control tests will not be included in the averages.
When viewing results in memory, these values are marked with a pound sign
(#) to show that they will not be included in the 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90-day
averages.
33
Clearing the Memory
Take extreme caution when clearing the memory. This is not a reversible
operation. To clear the memory:

the device thoroughly. Do not immerse the lancing device.
Please refer to the lancing device insert for more details.
37
Suggested Testing Times and Target Goals
Tracking your blood glucose concentration through frequent testing is an important
part of proper diabetes care. Your healthcare professional will help you to decide the
normal target range for your glucose levels. They will also help you to determine
when and how often to test your blood glucose. Some suggested times are:
When you wake up (fasting level)
Before breakfast
1-2 hours after breakfast
Before lunch
1-2 hours after lunch
Before or after exercise
Before dinner
1-2 hours after dinner
Before bedtime
After a snack
At 2 or 3 AM, if taking insulin
You may need to test more often whenever1:
You add or adjust your medication for diabetes.
You think your blood glucose levels may be too low or too high.
You are ill, or feeling uncomfortable over long periods of time.
Expected blood glucose levels for people without diabetes2:
Time Range, mg/dL Range, mmol/L
Fasting and Before Meals 70 - 100 3.9 - 5.6
2 Hours after Meals Less than 140 Less than 7.8
Talk to your healthcare professional to set your own daily target ranges.
Time of Day Your Target Range
Waking up (Fasting level)
Before meals
2 hours after meals
Bedtime
2 AM to 3 AM
Other
Use the logbook to record your blood glucose measurements and related
information. Bring the logbook with you when you visit your doctor so that you can
determine how well your blood glucose is being controlled. This can help you and
your healthcare professional make the best decisions about your glucose control
plan.

Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results
Your GIMA Blood Glucose System and laboratory results both report the glucose
concentration in the serum or plasma component of your blood. However, the
results may differ somewhat due to normal variation. The meter results can be
affected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same
way. See GIMA Test Strip package insert for typical accuracy and precision data,
and for important information on Limitations.
To ensure a reasonable comparison, follow these guidelines.
Before you go to the lab:
Bring your meter, test strips and control solution with you to the lab.
Make sure your meter is clean.
Perform a quality control test to make sure the meter is working properly.
Comparisons will be more accurate if you do not eat for at least four hours
(preferably eight hours) before testing.
At the lab:
Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample.
Obtain blood samples for a laboratory test and for your meter within 10
minutes of each other. This will ensure an accurate comparison of results.
Never use your meter with blood that has been placed in test tubes containing
fluoride or other anticoagulants. This will cause falsely low results.
