Dear LifeSmart 2 LS-946 System Owner:

Thank you for purchasing the LS-946 Blood Glucose Plus ß-Ketone Monitoring System. This manual provides important information to help you to use the system properly. Before using this product, please read the following contents thoroughly and carefully.

The System measures both blood glucose and β-ketone. Regular monitoring of your blood glucose and β-ketone levels can help

you and your doctor gain better control of your diabetes. Due to its compact size and easy operation, you can use the LS-946 Blood Glucose Plus ß-Ketone Monitoring System to easily monitor your

blood glucose and β-ketone levels by yourself anywhere, any time.

If you have other questions regarding this product, please contact the local customer service or place of purchase.

Intended Use

This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood

samples from the finger, and to measure β-hydroxybutyrate (ketone)

in fresh whole blood samples from the finger and palm. It should not be used for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus.

The test for haematocrit (HCT) as part of the system, is intended for use in the in vitro quantification of packed red blood cell volume fraction in capillary whole blood as an aid in monitoring the status of total volume of red blood cells. The test reading of haematocrit (HCT) is used only to determine whether the blood test sample is within the acceptable range of Blood Glucose Plus ß-Ketone monitoring system. It should not be used for the diagnosis of anaemia or erythrocytosis.

Important Information

● Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings

which are lower than actual values. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.

● If your blood glucose or β-ketone results are lower or higher than usual, and you do not have any symptoms of illness, rst repeat the

test. If you have symptoms or continue to get results which are higher or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.

● Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose or β-ketone. Using other substances will lead to incorrect results.

● If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your blood glucose or β-ketone test results and you have followed all the

instructions given in this owner’s manual, contact your healthcare professional.

● We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive

individuals or patients in shock. Please consult your healthcare professional before use.

● The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of

blood or plasma glucose will have molarity (mmol/L). The

approximate calculation rule for conversion of mmol/L in mg/dL is:

mg/dL

mmol/L

For example:

1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L

2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.

● The HCT is the volume percentage (%) of red blood cells in blood

sample.

(Note: Haematocrit =HCT)

Divided by 18

Times 18

= mmol/L

= mg/dL
