Blood Glucose Test Strip

❶

Aperture: apply the blood from the front of strip

❷

Blood Reaction Zone: It must be lled with blood entirely.

❸

Black Electrode End: insert this end of test strip into meter.

IMPORTANT TEST STRIP INFORMATION

1. GoodLife System measures the amount of glucose in
capillary whole blood. Blood can be applied to the front
of the test strip and is automatically drawn to the test
strip through capillary action.

2. GoodLife Blood Glucose Test Strips are intended for in vitro
diagnostic use with capillary whole blood or GoodLife

Glucose Control Solution. Results will not be accurate if
used with plasma or serum samples.

3. Do not use test strips beyond the expiration date indi­cated on the strip vial label.

4. The discard date for test strips is 90 days after first
opening the vial. Record the discard date on the vial
when you open a new vial of test strips.

5. Blood Glucose Test Strip can be damaged by heat and
light. Keep the m sealed in the original v ial.

6. Store the vial in a cool, dry place below to

40°C / 104°F and above 10°C / 50°F. Do not
refrigerate.

7. Do not use damaged test strips in any way. Use test
strip immediately after taking it out from the vial or foil
packet; replace the vial cap and close it tightly.

8. Do not transfer test strips to a new vial. Always carr y test
strips in their ori ginal vial.

9. D o not place in direct heat or sunlight.

10. Do not carry loose test strips in your carrying case.

11. Test strips are for single use only.

Glucose Control Solution (Optional)





GoodLife Glucose Control Solution is used to
check if the GoodLife Blood Glucose Meter and
Test Strip are working correctly as a sy stem.
It can be used in two ways:
To practice the test procedure
To make sure that the GoodLife Blood Glucose
Meter and Test Strips are working together prop­erly.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1. Do not use control solution beyond the expiration date in­dicated on the bottle label.

2. The discard date for control solution is 90 days after rst
opening. Record the discard date on the bottle when
you open a new bottle of control solution.

3.

30
86

Store the control solution closed at tempera­tures between 10ºC (50ºF) and 30ºC (86ºF).

4. Please carefully read the label before use.

Perform Control Test

1. Insert a new tes t strip into the strip slot, the meter will acti­vate.

2. The code number will appear on the screen. Compare the
code number shown on the screen against the code num­ber on the test strip vial. If the two numbers match, you
may begin test, otherwise consult your local distributor.

3. Press button 3 times to choose Level1 control solution
test (display “qCL“) or 4 times to Level2 control solution
test (display “qCH“)

4. Gently shake the control solution and apply a drop to the
aperture of strip. Make sure that the control solution has
saturated the Blood Reaction Zone of the test str ip.

5. Test result will show up in 5 seconds. The result should
correspond to the range printed on the label of strip vial
used.

NOTE: REPEAT TEST IF THE RESULT FALLS OUTSIDE THE
CONTROL RANGE. IF YOU CONTINUE TO GET THE RESULT
FALLING OUTSIDE THE CONTROL RANGE, YOUR METER
AND STRIP MAY NOT BE WORKING PROPERLY. DO NOT
USE THE SYSTEM TO TEST YOUR BLOOD UNTIL YOU GET A
TEST RESULT FALLS WITHIN THE CONTROL RANGE. CON­SULT YOUR LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR FOR HELP.

Check Strip

The Check Strip can be used in 2 ways:

1. To check that the meter is operating
properly. Use when performing qual­ity control check on your meter.

2. To delete all test memories.

CHECK

How to check meter by check strip

1. Insert the check strip into strip slot with label side up as
above.

2. You should obtain an “OK“ reading within 10 seconds,
which means your meter is working properly.

About GoodLife

Intended Use

The GoodLife Blood Glucose Monitoring System is designed
to quantitatively measure the level of glucose in capillary
whole blood by people with diabetes or by healthcare pro­fessionals for monitoring blood glucose at home or in health­care facilities. The device is indicated for professional use and
over-the-counter sales.

Principle of the Test

The GoodLife System is an electrochemical biosensor
system that measures the amount of electric current pro­duced and displays the result as a blood glucose level.

About the System

The GoodLife System is designed to pursuit the accuracy
in blood glucose monitoring to provide you with easy and
comfortable testing. The system requires 0.5μL of blood
sample and 5 seconds for the test to complete.
The GoodLife System consists of:
GoodLife Blood Glucose Meter
GoodLife Blood Glucose Test Strips(AC, also known as ACH)
GoodLife Check Strip
GoodLife Glucose Control Solution (optional)
Lancing Device (optional)
Lancets (optional)
These products are intended to be used together to get
accurate blood glucose test results. Do not use other test
strips or control solutions with your meter.

Important Information

The GoodLife System is intended for in vitro diagnostic

use with capillary whole blood. The system should not be
used for diagnosis of diabetes or for testing newborn in­fant (neonatal testing).

CAUTION

1. The user should not take any medical relevance deci-

sion based on test result without rst consulting his or
her medical practitioner.

2. Call your doctor immediately if you experience symp-

toms that are not consistent with your blood glucose
test results.

3. Severe dehydration or excessive water loss may cause

false, high results. Call your doctor right away if you sus­pect you are suering from dehydration.

4. A sample with large amount of reducing substances

such as triglycerides (>11.3mmol/L), ascorbic acid

(>0.13mmol/L), uric acid (>0.89mmol/L) and xylose (>

3.4mmol/L).

5. A red blood cell count (hematocrit) that is either very

high (over 55%) or very low (under 30%) can cause false
result.

6. High altitudes above than 2,750 meter (8,800 feet) may

aect the test results.

7. Temperatures outside the range of 10°C to 40°C (50°F to

104°F) may aect the test results.

4. When the symbol flashes, you
are ready to perform a test.

5. If the test is done in 2 hours of
meal, press button to change the
setting from to .

6. Hold the prepared lancing device
firmly against the side of your fin­ger. Press the release button. Gently
massage your finger to obtain the
required blood volume. To perform
the test, you need 0.5uL of blood
sample resting on your nger.
Caution: To avoid the blood borne
pathogen transmission, the lancing
device is intended only for a single
user and should not be shared.

7. Apply the blood sample to the

front aperture of test strip in a way
that is comfortable for you. Make
sure that the blood drop has satu­rated the Blood Reaction Zone.
When blood is applied to the strip,
a count down appears on the
screen until measurement is com­pleted.

8. Test result will show up in 5 sec-

onds.

9. Record your testing result in the

log sheet, eject the strip from me­ter and discard the used strip and
lancet safely in a puncture resis­tant container.

10. The testing range of the meter

is from 1.1 to 33.3 mmol/L. If HI
is displayed, your blood glucose
result may be higher than 33.3
mmol/L. If LO is displayed, your
blood glucose result may be
lower than 1.1 mmol/L.

Understanding Your Test Result

Expected values for people without diabetes:

Time of Day Expected Range, Non-diabetes

Source: American Diabetes,
Association Position Statement,
Diabetes Care Vol.35 (Suppl.1)
P.S13 (2012).

Before Meal Less than 5.6 mmol/L

After Meal Less than 7.8 mmol/L

For diabetes patients, please consult your healthcare pro­fessional to nd out your target blood glucose value.

If your blood glucose result seems unusually high or low,
or inconsistent with your previous results, check the fol­lowing:

1. Does the code number on the test strip vial match the code
number on the me ter?

2. Was the blood sample applied to the test strip immedi­ately after the strip was removed from the vial?

3. Was the size of the blood sample sucient?

4. Was the test strip vial cap tightly sealed?

5. Was the test str ip used before the expiration date?

6. Were the test strips stored away from ex treme tempera­tures or from areas of high humidit y?

Then run a quality control check with your GoodLife Glucose
Control Solution and a new test strip. If the control test result
is within the acceptable range, review testing procedure and
repeat your blood glucose test with a new test strip. If your
blood glucose value is still inconsistent with your previous
results, contact your doctor immediately for help.

Memory Recall

The GoodLife Blood Glucose Meter can automatically store
up to 900 results on both before a meal and after a
meal .
When recalling the results, each single result appears from
the latest to the earliest with time and date.
