Importance of Blood Glucose Monitoring
The more you know about diabetes, the better you are
able to take care of yourself. As you meet with your
Doctor or Diabetes Healthcare Professional, you will
work together to determine the target range for your
blood glucose results and how often you should test.
Having the majority of your results within your target
range helps delay or prevent complications of diabetes.
Using the TrackEASE Smart System
®
Blood Glucose
Monitoring System for self-testing shows you and your
Doctor or Diabetes Healthcare Professional how well
your daily treatment plan is working to control your
blood glucose. Do not make changes to your treatment
plan without discussing with your Doctor or Diabetes
Healthcare Professional.
The TrackEASE Smart System
®
is intended for in vitro
(outside the body) testing only, and is not for the
diagnosis of diabetes or for testing blood glucose in
newborns.
Use of the TrackEASE Smart System
®
Blood Glucose
Monitoring System in a manner not specified in this
Owner’s Booklet is not recommended and may affect
your ability to determine your blood glucose.
iii
Important Information
Important: For the best possible performance from
TrackEASE Smart System
®
we recommend you:
• Read all instructions before you begin to test.
• Perform Check Strip and Glucose Control Tests
before testing your blood.
Note:
Glucose Control may not always be
included. Check Contents List on outside
packaging. If Glucose Control is not listed,
contact place of purchase.
• Check Codes. Code in Meter Display must match
Code on vial of TrackEASE Smart System
®
Test
Strips being used and Code Number printed on Code
Chip.
•
Use only TrackEASE Smart System®Test Strips
and TrackEASE Smart System
®
Glucose Control
with TrackEASE Smart System
®
Meter.
• Use only fresh capillary whole blood samples for
testing. TrackEASE Smart System
®
is not
recommended for use with venous samples. Meter
displays results in
Plasma values.
• The TrackEASE Smart System®is recommended
for testing of human whole blood only.
iv
Health Related Information
• Severe dehydration and/or excessive water loss
may cause false low results.2If you believe you
are suffering from severe dehydration, contact
your Doctor or Diabetes Healthcare Professional
immediately.
• Test results equal or below 80 mg/dL (4.4
mmol/L) indicate low blood glucose
(hypoglycemia).3Test results greater than 250
mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L), indicate high blood
glucose (hyperglycemia).4Perform another
blood test to assure that your results are correct.
If you continue to get similar results and you are
having symptoms that suggest glucose is too low
or too high, follow the treatment advice given by
your Doctor or Diabetes Healthcare
Professional.

Glucose Control Test
Glucose Control Test uses TrackEASE Smart System
®
Glucose Control to check performance of System.
Note:
Glucose Control may not always be
included. Check Contents List on outside
packaging. If Glucose Control is not listed,
contact place of purchase or Technical
Service at the number located on back
cover.
Perform Control Tests when…
• Using Meter for first time. We recommend you
perform several Control Tests for practice before
testing with blood.
• Opening a new vial of Test Strips.
• Meter results seem unusually low or high.
• Meter was dropped.
Caution! Result ranges are printed on Test
Strip vial label. These ranges are for
Control Test results only and
are not
recommended result range for your
blood glucose.
Do not ingest Glucose Control.
Most current Control Test result is stored in Memory.

How to Test Glucose Control
1. Wash hands with soap and water, dry
thoroughly. Allow Control, vial of Test Strips
and Meter to adjust to room temperature
(68-77ºF/20-25ºC). Write date first opened
on Control Label.
2. Check dates on Control label and Test Strip vial
label. Do not use Control if 3 months past
written opened date or past date printed next to
symbol. Do not use Test Strips if 120 days
past written opened date or past date printed
next to symbol. Discard out-of-date
products and use new products if either
date has passed.
3. Swirl or invert bottle gently to mix
Control. DO NOT SHAKE!
4. Remove Test Strip from vial. Recap
vial immediately. Wipe top of vial
cap with a wet tissue, dry thoroughly.
Note: Use Strip quickly after removal
from vial. Strips that have been
left out of vial too long will
give error message when used.
Discard old Strip and use new
Strip for testing.
5. Insert Test Strip into Test Port.
Meter turns on.

How to Obtain a Blood Sample
Refer to Lancing Device “Instructions for Use” for
detailed instructions.
From Fingertip
1. Prepare fingertip by washing hands in warm,
soapy water. Rinse well. Dry thoroughly.
2. Place end of Lancing Device
against tip of finger. Lance
fingertip.
3. Set Lancing Device aside. To help blood drop
form, lower hand to waist level, gently
massaging finger from palm to fingertip. Allow
blood drop to form before attempting to apply
to Test Strip.
Always remove and discard used Lancet in
appropriate container when testing is complete.
TTEESSTTIINNGG YYOOUURR BBLLOOOODD
17
For Forearm Testing
1. Select area to be lanced. Wash with soap and
warm water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Rub area vigorously or apply a warm compress
to stimulate blood flow.
3. Place tip firmly against forearm.
Press trigger button. Apply firm
pressure on lancing device until
an adequate blood drop is
formed.
Important Notes Regarding Forearm Samples Used in
Testing Blood Glucose:
• Check with your Doctor or Diabetes Healthcare
Professional to see if forearm testing is right for you.
• Blood glucose results from forearm are not always the
same as results from fingertip. Do not use forearm for
testing when blood sugar is rapidly rising or falling,
e.g., within 2 hours of eating, after taking insulin,
immediately after exercise, or when you are ill or
under stress. Use fingertip sample for testing.
• Do not use forearm samples for testing if you think
your blood sugar is low, if you don’t regularly
experience symptoms when your blood glucose is low,
or if your results from forearm samples do not match
the way you feel. Use fingertip sample for testing.
