How Your Optium Xceed Diabetes Monitoring System Works

When you insert a test strip into your meter, the Apply Sample message shows on your meter’s display window. When a blood sample or control solution sample is applied to the test strip, the glucose or β-Ketone reacts with the chemicals on the test strip. This reaction produces a small electrical current that is measured. The result shows on your meter’s display window.

CHAPTER 3

Why Calibrate Your Meter?

Your Optium Xceed meter must be calibrated so that it can recognize the test strip you are using. Calibration ensures that your results are accurate.

When to Calibrate Your Meter

• When you use the meter for the first time.

• EACH time you open and use a new box of blood glucose

or blood β-Ketone test strips.

What You Will Need

• Optium Xceed meter.

• For glucose calibration:

- Blood glucose test strip.

- Blood glucose test strip instructions for use.

- Blood glucose test strip calibrator.

• For β-Ketone calibration:

- Blood β-Ketone test strip.

- Blood β-Ketone test strip instructions for use.

- Blood β-Ketone test strip calibrator.

How to Calibrate Your Meter

When you insert a test strip for the first time, the display window shows:

This means the meter is

not calibrated

for blood glucose monitoring.

This means the meter is

not calibrated

for blood β-Ketone monitoring.

IMPORTANT: Use only the calibrator that is packaged in the box of test strips you are using.

Do not use test strips that have expired. Check the expiration date on the test strip foil packet and test strip box. If only the year and month are shown, the expiration date is the last day of the month.

Check that the LOT number on all these items matches:

✓ Display window ✓ Test strip calibrator ✓ Test strip instructions for use ✓ Test strip foil packet

When the LOT number on all these items matches:

What It Means:

Calibration is complete.

What to Do:

You may now monitor your blood glucose or blood β-Ketone.

When the LOT number on all these items DOES NOT match:

What It Means:

Your meter may not be calibrated for the box of test strips you are using.

What to Do:

• Check that you are using the calibrator that came in the

box of test strips you are using.

• Try to calibrate again.

IMPORTANT: If the LOT number still does not match, contact Customer Support.

Do not attempt to monitor your blood glucose or blood β-Ketone. Your meter may show an incorrect result.

Remove the calibrator from the meter and store it in your

meter’s carrying case.

IMPORTANT: Do not throw the calibrator away until you have used all of the test strips in the box.

If you have any trouble calibrating your system, please contact Customer Support.

Remove the glucose or β-Ketone calibrator package

from the new box of test strips.

Open the calibrator package. Find the

three raised bumps on the calibrator package. Peel the clear cover away from the three raised bumps.

Hold the calibrator (white for glucose

and purple for blood β-Ketone) with the LOT number facing you.

Insert the calibrator into the strip

port. Push it in until it stops.

The Display Check shows on the display window, followed by the time, month, and day. Next, the LOT number shows on the display window.

a. Example of glucose LOT number:

LOT 13758

b. Example of β-Ketone LOT number:

CODE 12345

Then you hear the beeper, if the beeper is ON.
