Test Principle
GluNEO® 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. 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 Test Meter,
the Meter, Test Meter in this manual, for which they have equal meaning to each

Performing a Glucose Control Solution Test
GluNEO® Lite control solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with
GluNEO
®
Lite test strip. By comparing your control solution test results with the expected
range printed on the test strip vial, you are able to check that the meter and test strips are
working properly, and that you are performing the test correctly. It is very important that you
perform routine checking to ensure accurate results.
The Glucose control solution should be used
- Before using a new box of test strips.
- Whenever you suspect the blood glucose test meter or blood glucose test strip is not
functioning properly.
- If your blood glucose test results are not consistent with your symptoms, or if you think
results are not accurate.
- If you have dropped the blood glucose test meter.
- For quality control in the point of care usage.
- For teaching or learning the system.
- When using the meter for blood glucose tests after any disinfection procedure.
Firmly insert the test strip into the meter test port. Insert
deeply in direction of arrow on test strip (arrow up). Please
do not insert the glucose test strip upside down.
When you insert the glucose test strip into the glucose test
meter, the power automatically adjusts the meter

DATE
GluNEO® Lite blood glucose monitoring system gives you the ability to your sugar from
different areas of your body.
The figure shown above displays the areas where you can test using your GluNEO
®
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.

Alternative Site Test
• 30 • • 31 •
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.
To ensure accurate results when lancing your arm
(forearm or upper arm), or palm (ventral palm or dorsal
hand), clean the test site with soap and water.
Make sure there is no cream or lotion on the test site.
Thoroughly dry your hands and test site.
Lance the test site with the lancing device
1. Remove the lancing tip by twisting off.
2. Insert lancet and replace with the clear tip.
3. To bring fresh blood to the surface of the test site, rub
