Performing Tests

The screen automatically goes to the last test type. Use the scroll-wheel to cycle between the various tests.

NOTE: see page 107 for instructions on changing the glucose measurement units.

Blood Glucose Test

Be sure to read carefully this section, the test strip insert and the lancing device insert found in the Gluco kit
before testing. Make sure you have all items needed to test:

LifeWatch V, Test Strips, Lancing Device, and Sterile Lancet

Wash and dry your hands.

Use only the glucose strips provided
with the LifeWatch V device.

1. To start the glucose test press Start.

The screen rotates to the horizontal mode, please hold the LifeWatch V horizontally.

87

2. A new screen opens, select Before or After meal.

3. Please insert a new glucose strip into the glucose slot
when instructed.

88

4. Prepare the lancing device:

Screw off the cap of Lancing Device. Insert a lancet into the
lancet holder and push down firmly until it is fully seated.

Twist the protective disk until it separates from the lancet.

Replace the lancet device cap. Turn the cap until it is snug
but not too tight.

89

The adjustable tip offers 5 levels of skin penetration. Twist
the adjustable tip in either direction until the number lines up
with the Arrow:
1-2 for soft or thin skin,
3-4 for average skin,
5 for thick or calloused skin.
Please select the most suitable depth for you to avoid
unnecessary pain.

Slide the ejection/cocking control back until it clicks. If it
does not click the device may have been cocked when the
lancet was inserted.

90

5. Take a blood sample using the lancing device (see

supplied lancing device instructions).

6. Place the finger with the acquired drop of blood at the tip

of the glucose strip, as shown on the screen and below.

91

7. The Processing screen appears, after a few seconds the

results screen appears.

8. When the test is completed the results screen appears.

Remove the used test strip and lancet; dispose of them.

Glucose strips are for single use only; dispose
of used strips as per the instructions included
with the strips.

It is now possible to:

 Retake the test by pressing the Retest button
 Use the Scroll Wheel to scroll to another test
 Display test History
 Use the options available on the left bar

Important Information

Severe dehydration resulting from excessive water loss may cause false low results. If you believe you are suffering from
severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
Test results below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) mean low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL
(13.3 mmol/L) mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you get results below 70 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL, and do not
have symptoms, repeat the test once. If you have symptoms or continue to get results that fall below 70 mg/dL or above 240
mg/dL, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose test results AND you have followed all the
instructions described in the LifeWatch V User Manual, call your healthcare professional.
A red blood cell count (hematocrit) that is either very high (above 55%) or very low (below 30%) can cause false results.

Glucose Test Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause(s)

Solution

Blood glucose
results are
inconsistent.

1. Not enough blood is placed on the Test
Strip.

2. Test Strips have passed their expiration
date.

3. Deteriorated Test Strip caused by heat or
humidity.

4. Device, and/or Test Strip were not at room
temperature when used.

1. Rerun test with a new Test Strip and apply a sufficient
blood to fill the Test Strip tip.

2. Obtain new Test Strips have not yet exceeded their
expiration date.

3. Run a Control Solution Test using a new Test Strip. If
the results are still out of range, replace the Test Strip
package. See package for proper storage instructions.

4. Allow time for the Device, Control Solution and/or Test
Strips to come to room temperature before use.

93

Alternative Site Testing (AST)

Important: There are limitations for doing AST.

Please consult your healthcare professional before you do AST.

What is AST?

Alternative site testing (AST) means that people use parts of the body other
than fingertips to check their blood glucose levels.

This system provides you to test on the palm, the forearm, the upper arm,
the calf, or the thigh with the equivalent results to fingertip testing.

What’s the advantage?
Fingertips feel pain more readily because they are full of nerve endings

(receptors). At other body sites, since nerve endings were not so condensed,
you will not feel as much pain as at the fingertip.

When to use AST?

Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affect blood glucose
levels.

Capillary blood at fingertip reflects these changes faster than capillary blood at other sites. Therefore when
testing blood glucose during or immediately after meal, physical exercise, or any other event, take blood
sample from your finger only.

94

We strongly recommend you do AST ONLY in the following intervals:

 In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).
 Two hours or more after taking insulin.
 Two hours or more after exercise.

Do NOT use AST if:

 You think your blood glucose is low.
 You are unawareness of hypoglycemia.
 Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
 You are testing for hyperglycemia.
 Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.
 You are pregnant.

How to increase the accuracy?

Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site prior to blood extraction has a significant influence
on the glucose value obtained. Blood from the site without rubbing exhibits a measurably different glucose
concentration than blood from the finger. When the puncture site was rubbed (20 seconds) prior to blood
extraction, the difference was significantly reduced.

95

Control Solution Test

Why Use the Control Solution?

Ensure that your LifeWatch V and LifeWatch V Test Strips are working together properly.
Practice testing without having to use your own blood.

Perform Control solution tests when:

 First receive your LifeWatch V.
 You feel your LifeWatch V or test strips are not working properly.
 You feel your test results are not accurate.
 After dropping or damaging your LifeWatch V or exposing it to liquids.
 Your healthcare professional advises you perform the test.

Perform control solution tests for any new vial or if
“abnormal” results are shown.

4. Select the Control Solution test from the options menu.

5. The following screen appears. To start the test press Start.

6. The screen rotates to the horizontal mode, please hold
the LifeWatch V horizontally.

96

7. Insert the new glucose strip into the glucose slot when
instructed.

Glucose strips are for single use only;
dispose of used strips as per the
instructions included with the strips.

8. Place the Control Solution:

 Shake the control solution vial.
 Place the first drop of control solution in a

disposable container.
 Clean the bottle tip using a tissue

or paper towel.
 Place a second drop at the tip of your finger

97

9. Using your finger place the drop of control solution on
the strip in the LifeWatch V as shown. The drop is
drawn into the test strip. Move your finger away when
the strip window is filled

10. The Processing screen appears, after a few seconds
the results screen appears.

98

11. When the test is completed the results screen appears.

12. Remove the used test strip and dispose of it.

13. Compare the result of your control solution test to the
range printed on your LifeWatch V Blood Glucose Test
Strip vial label for the control solution level that you
used.

Your control solution result should fall within this range.
If your control solution test results are out of the range,

repeat the test and refer to Control Solution
Troubleshooting of this guide to see potential causes of
error.

Control Solution Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause(s)

Solution

Control solution
test results are

test results are
not within the
specified range.

1. Not enough control solution is
placed on the Test Strip.

have passed their expiration date.

3. Deteriorated Test Strip caused
by heat or humidity.

4. Device, Control Solution and/or

2. Obtain new Test Strips and/or Control
Solution that have not yet exceeded their
expiration date.

3. If the results are still out of range, replace
the package of Test Strips. See package for
proper storage instructions.

4. Allow time for the Device, Control Solution
and/or Test Strips to come to room
