Test Principle
Finetest™ Lite
blood glucose test strip is the bio-sensor which is composed of the
FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase(enzyme). FAD-GDH(enzyme) quantitatively
reacts with the glucose in the whole blood and the mediator. Glucose in the whole blood
sample reacts with the reagent of the test strip and generates an electrical current. The
amount of current, which is related with glucose concentration, is measured by the current,
for which the method is called amperometry.
NOTE:
1. Blood Glucose Monitoring System may also be called as Blood Glucose Te st Meter,
the Meter, Te st Meter throughout this manual, for which they have equal meaning to
each other.
2. Blood Glucose Test Strips may be referred to as Te st Strip throughout this manual.
WARNING
1. All parts of the kit are considered bio-hazardous and can potentially transmit
infectious diseases, even after you have taken cleaning and disinfection measures.
2. Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
3. Avoid getting hand lotions, oil, dirt or debris on the meter, lancets or lancet device.
4. Please refer to page 33 for cleaning and disinfecting
Finetest™ Lite
Blood Glucose
Monitoring System.

Finetest™ Lite
blood glucose monitoring system gives you the ability to test your glucose
from various areas of your body.
The figure shown above displays the areas where you can test using your
Finetest™ Lite
meter.You may test your blood sugar from your forearm, upper arm, palm (ventral palm
or dorsal hand), or fingertips.
Lancing and sampling from an alternative site area
Sampling from your upper arm, forearm, ventral palm, or dorsal hand allows you to use your
fingertips less often.
You may find that obtaining a blood sample from an alternative site is less painful than using
a fingertip.
LIMITATION
1. Alternative site testing results should never be used to calibrate continuous glucose
monitoring systems.
2. Alternative sampling results should never be used in insulin dosing calculations.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that alternative site testing be used when sugars are stable: before
meals and before bedtime. However, when sugars are changing, blood from the fingertip
may show these changes sooner than blood from other body areas.
Upper Arm
Forearm
Ventral Palm
Dorsal Hand
Fingertips
Alternative Site Test
• 30 •
Choose a fleshy area of the forearm or upper arm away from bone, visible veins and thick
hairs of the arm. Sometimes there is less blood flow to these areas than to the fingertip.
To help you get enough drops of blood, you may gently massage or apply a heating pad to
the site to increase blood flow.
Choose a fleshy area on the palm, below your thumb or
pinky finger. Select a spot without any visible veins and
away from any deep lines, which may cause your blood
sample to smear.
Ventral palm/Dorsal hand
Forearm
Upper arm
IMPORTANT
We recommend that you test on your fingertips if you are testing for hypoglycemia (low
blood glucose) or if you are suffering from hypoglycemia unawareness.
How to use the lancing device
