Congratulations on the purchase of your Prestige
Smart System

®

Blood Glucose Test System. You
now have a very simple and accurate way to test your
blood glucose (sugar) levels, anytime, anywhere.

Glucose testing is an important part of controlling
your diabetes. Studies show that keeping glucose
levels in control may lower the chance of developing
serious diabetes-related health problems such as
kidney problems and blindness. Regular testing lets
you know if your sugar is ‘too high’, ‘too low’, or
‘just right’, depending on what you and your
Healthcare Professional decide is ‘just right’ for you.

Do not use the

Prestige Smart System®IQ Meter in

any way not recommended in this Booklet.

Meter Options

The Meter has the following options that can be
customized to your needs. Options are listed below
in the order that they appear in the Display.

Results as Whole Blood (blood): Whole blood is
blood that comes directly from finger. Use only
whole blood when testing.

Results as Plasma (plasma): Most laboratories use
plasma, a component of blood, for testing. Plasma
results are about 12% higher than whole blood
results.

1

When selecting this option, Meter uses the
whole blood value to calculate and display the
plasma result.

Section 3 Check The System

There are two types of Quality Control tests to
assure that the System is working properly and
testing technique is good.

•

Standard Strip test uses a hard gray plastic strip

(Standard Strip). The Standard Strip does not
have a lot number or an expiration date, and can
be used with any Meter Code.

•

Glucose Control test uses a

ddaarrkk bblluue

e

liquid
(Glucose Control) that contains a known amount
of glucose. Glucose Control is available in both
Low

À and High Á levels.

These tests should be performed:

• When using the Meter for the first time

• When using a new vial of Test Strips

• When results do not ‘agree’ with how you feel

• When you suspect that results are incorrect

• To practice using the System

• After cleaning the Meter or replacing the Test

Strip Platform
