Dear owner of GlucoRx Q Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
Your system consists of three main products: the meter, test strips and control solution.
These products have been designed, tested and proven to work together as a system to
produce accurate blood glucose test results. Only use GlucoRx Q test strips and control
solution with the GlucoRx Q Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
Intended Use
This system is intended for external use (in vitro diagnostic use) only. It is used for the
quantitative measurement of glucose in samples of fresh capillary whole blood taken from
the finger, palm, forearm and upper arm. It is not intended to diagnose or screen for diabetes
mellitus, or to be used on neonates.
It allows blood glucose levels to be measured by people with diabetes at home and by
healthcare professionals in clinical settings as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness of
diabetes control.
This system provides you with plasma equivalent results and is displayed in millimoles of
glucose per litre of blood (mmol/L).

Confirmation Window
This is where you confirm if enough blood has been
applied to the absorbent hole in the strip.
STEP 5. Setting the reminder alarm
Your meter has four reminder alarms. The meter will display "OFF",”AL1” and . If you

STEP 2. Apply control solution
STEP 3. Read and compare the results
When the “ “ symbol appears on your display, press M and “QC” will appear on the display.
When the “QC” sign is displayed, your meter will not store your test result in memory. If you
decide not to perform a control solution test, press M again and the “QC” sign will disappear.
Shake your control solution vial thoroughly before use.
Squeeze out a drop and wipe it off, then squeeze out
another drop and place it on the tip of the vial cap. Hold
your meter to move the absorbent hole of the test strip to
touch the drop. Once the confirmation window fills
completely, your meter will begin counting down. To avoid
contaminating the control solution, do not directly apply
control solution onto a strip.
After your meter counts to 0, the result of the control solution
test will appear. Compare the result with the range printed on
your test strip vial. The result should fall within this range.
Out-of-range results
If you continue to have test results fall outside the range printed on the test strip vial, your
meter and/or strips may not be working properly. Do NOT test your blood. Contact
GlucoRx Customer Services on 01483-755133.
Every time you perform a control solution test, you must enter “QC” test mode so that
the test result will not be stored in the meter memory.
CAUTION
Preparing your Lancing Device for Blood Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for collecting a blood sample.
Never share a lancet or the lancing device. GlucoRx Lancing device is for self-use only.
STEP 1. Insert a test strip to turn on your meter

STEP 2. Select the appropriate measuring mode by pressing M button
For selecting the measurement mode, please refer to the “FOUR MEASURING MODES”
TESTING YOUR BLOOD
Our control solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with test strips. By
comparing the result of the control solution test with the expected range printed on your
test strip vial label, you can check that your meter and test strips are working together as a
system and that you are performing the test correctly. It is very important that you perform
this simple check routinely to make sure you get accurate results.
HOW TO PERFORM A CONTROL SOLUTION TEST
STEP1. Insert test strip
Insert a test strip into the test slot with the contact bars end first and facing up. (Contact bars
must be inserted all the way into your meter or you may get an inaccurate test result.) The
meter turns on automatically and displays the following in sequence:
CHECKING YOUR SYSTEM WITH CONTROL SOLUTION
STEP 3. Apply blood sample
Obtain a drop of blood of at least 0.7 µL using your lancing device. Use the clear cap for sites
other than fingers and refer to the strip package insert for more details.
