Important Information

Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings

which are lower than actual values. If you believe you are suffering
from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional im­mediately.

If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual, and

you do not have any symptoms of illness, rst repeat the test. If

you have symptoms or continue to get results which are higher
or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare
professional.

Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose.

Using other substances will lead to incorrect results.

If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your

blood glucose test results and you have followed all the instruc­tions given in this owner’s manual, contact your healthcare profes­sional.

We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive

individuals or patients in shock. Readings which are lower than
actual values may occur for individuals experiencing a hypergly­caemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Please consult
your healthcare professional before use.

The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of

blood or plasma glucose can either have a weight dimension (mg/
dL) or a molarity (mmol/L). The approximate calculation rule for
conversion of mg/dL in mmol/L is:

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

For example;

1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L

2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.

Divided by 18

Intended Use

This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic
use) by people with diabetes at home and by health care profes­sionals in clinical settings as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness
of diabetes control. It is intended to be used for the quantitative
measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples (from

the nger, palm, forearm and upper arm).

It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes, or testing on
newborns.

Professionals may test with capillary and venous whole blood; home
use is limited to capillary whole blood testing.

Test Principle

Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole
blood. The glucose testing is based on the measurement of electrical
current generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the
strip. The meter measures the current, calculates the blood glucose
level, and displays the result. The strength of the current produced
by the reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood
sample.
