I. Introduction

Thank you for using the smartLAB®sprint Self-Monitoring Blood
Glucose System. This system was produced in close association
with diabetes health care professionals, hospitals and, most im­portantly, people with diabetes. The measuring results can help you
determine the effects of food, exercise and diabetes medications.

Your smartLAB®sprint glucose meter was designed to be dependa­ble, easy-to use, compact, lightweight and portable to assist you in
monitoring your blood glucose on a regular basis. Please read this
manual thoroughly before you begin testing. It provides you and
your diabetes care team with important information and step-by­step direction to use meter correctly. Although your smartLAB®sprint
system is easy to use, you should consult your healthcare profes­sional (this may be your doctor, diabetes nurse educator or phar­macist) for instructions on how to use the system. The only way to
obtain accurate results from any system is to make sure you cor­rectly use it. If you have any concerns, please call your authorized
distributor in your country during business hours.

Measuring principle

The smartLAB®sprint Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose System is de­signed to allow rapid measurement of blood glucose by using an
electrochemical biosensor technology. This system employs a dis­posable dry reagent strip technology, based on the glucose oxidase
method for glucose determination.

Each test strip features an electrode containing the glucose oxidase
from aspergillus niger. A capillary blood sample is applied to the
collecting area of the strip, and is automatically drawn into the
reaction zone, where the glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of
glucose to produce glyconic acid. During the reaction, a mediator
transfers electrons to the electrode surface and generates a cur­rent. The amount of the current is proportional to the amount of
glucose present in the blood sample. The glucose concentration
is measured by your smartLAB®sprint meter and displayed on the
screen after 5 seconds.

Intended use

This blood glucose meter is a self-test IVD medical equipment and
intended for both home testing and for professional use to monitor
the blood glucose (B-D-glucose) value from capillary whole blood.
It is used outside the body only (In-vitro diagnostic use). The meter
should be used only smartLAB®pro blood glucose test strips. Testing
is not valid on neonatal blood specimen.

Important information

• Severe impact may cause the meter to malfunction. Do not disas­semble the meter as it may damage components inside and cause
an incorrect reading. The warranty will be void if the meter has
been disassembled.

• Incorrect results may occur when performing the test. If you
believe you are not feeling well, please contact your healthcare
professional immediately.

• Always keep the meter clean and store it in a safe place. Protect
from direct sunlight to ensure a longer lifespan.

• The strip slot should be kept free from dirt, dust, blood stains,
and water stains.

• Do not store the meter and test strips in a car, a bathroom or a
refrigerator. And the meter, strips and lancing device should be
kept away from children or pets.

• Please refer to the limitations of the procedure before testing.

• Remove batteries if the meter will not be used for one month or
more.

• Store the kits in a dry place with temperature range is 2 to 30°C
(35.6 to 86 °F). Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.

• Store your test strips in their original vial only. Do not transfer
them to a new vial or any other container.

• Indicate the date you open the vial.

Discard all unused strips
immediately after 90 days from open date. The strips are for sin­gle use only.

• Warning for potential biohazard: Healthcare professionals using
this system on multiple patients should be aware that all prod­ucts or objects that come in contact with human blood, even
after cleaning, should be handled as if capable of transmitting
viral disease.

• You can download the test results from the meter memory to a
computer for more in-depth analysis. (Requires according soft­ware and a Bluetooth interface)

Do not touch the test strip with wet hands

Do not use expired test strips

(see expiration date on the strip vial)

Do not bend, cut or twist the strip

Note on smartLAB

„NO CODE“-test strips

The smartLAB®pro blood glucose test strips compatible with
smartLAB® glucose meters need not to be coded, any more. Thus,

when inserting a test strip, the display will read „Code 888“. That
is because all test strip charges only use this code. This will make
it easier for you to use your smartLAB® product free from errors.
(Avoidance of coding errors)

If „Code 888“ DOES NOT appear while inserting a test strip, your
meter either needs to be recoded or your glucose meter is not com­patible with these smartLAB®pro blood glucose test strips. In either
case, please contact your distributor.

III. Setup & functions

Insert batteries

The meter uses 2 1,5V AAA Alkali
batteries. Batteries will normally
last for aprox. 1000 tests. Install
the batteries when you first use the
meter or replace with new batteries
when the “LP” message and the low
battery symbol appear on the LCD
display. Open the battery lid on the
back side of the smartLAB®sprint
meter and insert the batteries, pay­ing attention to the polarity. Close
the battery lid.

Note:

1. Remove the batteries when you

will not be using the meter for one
month or longer.

2. Values won’t be deleted when the

batteries are replaced.
