McKesson TRUE METRIX PRO Instruction Manual
INTRODUCTION:
McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO
Professional Monitoring Blood Glucose Meter
McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO is a simple, accurate way to
test whole blood glucose (sugar) level, anytime, anywhere. Our
goal is to provide quality healthcare products and dedicated
customer service. For questions about McKesson TRUE
METRIX® PRO products, call 1-800-777-4908.
McKesson recognizes the importance of practicing safe
and reliable testing using the McKesson TRUE METRIX®
PRO Professional Monitoring Blood Glucose Meter. Each
patient should have specic blood glucose target ranges
that are determined by their Doctor or Diabetes Healthcare
Professional. Having most blood glucose results within the
patient’s target range shows how well a treatment plan is
working to control glucose levels. Keeping results within the
patient’s target range helps slow or stop complications from
diabetes.
e McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO Professional Monitoring
Blood Glucose Test Strips are for use with the McKesson
TRUE METRIX® PRO Professional Monitoring Blood Glucose
Meter to quantitatively measure glucose (sugar) in fresh
capillary whole blood samples drawn from the ngertip or
forearm, or venous whole blood collected only in sodium
heparin vacutainer tubes. e McKesson TRUE METRIX®
PRO Professional Monitoring Blood Glucose Meter measures
current glucose results. It also detects, analyzes and corrects for
hematocrit and temperature, and calculates the glucose result.

METRIX® PRO:
• Read all product instructions for use before testing.
• Use of McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO in a manner not
specied in this Owner's Manual is not recommended and
may aect ability to determine true blood glucose levels.
• McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO is an in vitro (outside the
body) quantitative system for multiple patient use testing
of human whole blood only.
• Do not use for the diagnosis of or screening for
diabetes mellitus or for measuring blood glucose in
newborns.
• ONLY use auto-disabling single use lancing devices/
lancets to obtain capillary blood sample.
• Alternative site (forearm) testing should not be used to
calibrate continuous glucose monitors (CGMs).
• Alternative site (forearm) testing should not be used for
insulin dose calculations.
• DO NOT use venous whole blood collected in sodium
uoride (grey top), lithium heparin, or EDTA vacutainer
tubes for testing, as this may cause inaccurate results.

gov/hicpac/ 2007ip/2007isolationprecautions.html.
• Multiple patient use devices such as blood glucose meters
should be used on only one patient and not shared. If
dedicating blood glucose meters to a single patient is
not possible, the meters must be properly cleaned and
disinfected aer every use following the guidelines found
in Meter Care, Cleaning/Disinfecting.
• Healthcare Professionals should wear gloves when
cleaning and disinfecting the meter. Wash hands aer
taking o gloves. A new pair of gloves should be worn
before testing each patient.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION (cont.):
• If the patient is showing symptoms of low or high
blood glucose, check their blood glucose. If any result
seems higher or lower than expected, repeat the test
with a new test strip. Contact the Doctor or Diabetes
Healthcare Professional with any unusual results.
~ Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) symptoms may
include trembling, sweating, intense hunger,
nervousness, weakness or trouble speaking.
~ High blood glucose (hyperglycemia) symptoms may
include intense
thirst, a need to urinate oen, a dry
mouth, vomiting, or headache.
• is device has not been validated for use in the
critically ill.
• Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive
individuals or in dehydrated patients or patients in
shock. Inaccurate results may occur for individuals
experiencing a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with
or without ketosis.
• Follow facility protocols to verify blood glucose results
with laboratory results for patients who are unresponsive
or unable to com municate.

Quality Control Testing
To assure accurate and reliable results,
McKesson TRUE METRIX® PRO oers
two kinds of Quality Control Tests.
ese tests ensure that McKesson TRUE
METRIX® PRO is working properly and
testing technique is good.
Automatic Self-Test
An Automatic Self-Test is performed
by the meter each time a test strip is
inserted correctly into the Test Port.
Insert a test strip into the Test Port.
e meter is working properly if:
~ the full Display appears, then
~ the time appears in the upper
part of the Display, and then,
~ the Drop Symbol begins to blink.
If an error message appears in the Display,
the meter will not perform a test.
See Troubleshooting or call for assistance
(see Booklet cover for phone number).
Caution! If any segments are missing in the Display
when meter is first turned on, do not use the
meter for testing. Call for assistance.

Control Test
We recommend performing Control Tests to check the
performance of the system.
Control Tests should be performed:
• Before using the System for the rst time,
• For practice to ensure testing technique is good,
• When opening a new vial of test strips,
• If results seem unusually high or low, based on
patient's condition,
• If a vial has been le opened or exposed to extreme
heat or cold, or humidity,
• Whenever a check on the performance of the system is
needed,
• If meter damage is suspected (meter was dropped,
crushed, wet, etc.)
Note: It is important to perform Control Tests with more
than one level of control solution. ree levels of
McKesson TRUE METRIX® Control Solution are
available for Control Tests. Call 1-800-803-6025
for assistance in obtaining dierent levels of control
solution.
Caution! Ranges printed on test strip vial label are for
Control Test results only and are not to be used
for management of patient’s blood glucose.
Do not drink control solution.
How to Test Control Solution
Use ONLY McKesson TRUE METRIX®
Control Solution with the McKesson TRUE
METRIX® PRO Professional Monitoring
Blood Glucose Meter and Test Strips.
1. Check dates on control solution label
