Welcome to the ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Monitoring System
Thank you for choosing the ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Monitoring System. The system provides you with rapid and convenient blood glucose in vitro (i.e., outside the body) diagnostic monitoring. You can obtain accurate results in just 5 seconds with a small (0.5 µL) blood sample.
Test results can be sent to a smartphone through Bluetooth® wireless connection.
Bluetooth® wireless technology
Bluetooth® wireless technology is used by some smartphones and many other devices. ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Meter uses Bluetooth® wireless technology to pair* and send your blood glucose test results to a smartphone.
The ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Meter is designed to work with the ReliOn™ Life mobile app. When using the ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Monitoring System, we suggest you pair your ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Meter with your smartphone and track your blood glucose test results.

Important Information: Read This First
Intended use
• The ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips.
• The ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for self-testing outside the body (in vitro) by people with diabetes at home as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.
• The system is intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared.
• The system is not intended for use on neonates and is not for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes.
• The ReliOn™ Premier Blood Glucose Test Strips are for use with the ReliOn™ Premier family of blood glucose meters to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertip.
• The ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions are for use with the ReliOn™ Premier family of blood glucose meters and ReliOn™ Premier Test Strips to check that the meter and test strips are working together properly, and that the test is performing correctly.
7
• Please use this device only for the intended use described in
this user manual.
• Please follow the suggested cleaning and disinfection
procedures described in this user manual.
• ReliOn™ Premier Blood Glucose Test Strips are intended for
single use only. They should be disposed of in an appropriate container immediately after use.
• The ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Meter is designed to minimize code related errors in monitoring by using the no-coding function.
• Glucose in blood samples react with the chemical in the test strip to produce a small electrical current. The ReliOn™ Premier Blood Glucose Meter detects this electrical current and measures the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
• If your test result is below 60 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
Important Safety Information

Limitations of ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Monitoring System
• An abnormally high or low red blood cell count (hematocrit level over 65% or below 15%) may produce inaccurate results.
• Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or patients in shock.
• Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing a hypoglycemic hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.
• Severe dehydration (excessive water loss) may cause false low results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult your healthcare professional immediately.
• Altitudes higher than 10,000 ft. (3,048 m) above sea level may have an effect on the performance of the test strip.
• This system is for single-patient use only and should not be shared.
• Not for neonatal use.
• Not for use on critically ill patients.
• Not for use in anyone undergoing oxygen therapy.
• For in vitro diagnostic use only.
• Do not use for the
diagnosis
of or screening of diabetes
mellitus.
• The ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Meter should only be used with ReliOn™Premier Blood Glucose Test Strips.
• For questions or concerns, contact Customer Service: 1-855-776-0662, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central time, 7 days a week. At all other times or in case of emergency, please contact your healthcare professional or emergency medical response.

• The ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Meter uses two 3.0 V lithium batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.
• Before using the meter, check the battery compartment and insert batteries if empty.
• When the
symbol appears on the display while the meter
is in use, the batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.
• The test results may not be saved if the batteries run out.
Inserting or Replacing the Batteries
Make sure the meter is turned off. Push the cover in the direction of the arrow to open the battery compartment.
Step 1
NOTE
• Removing the meter batteries will not affect your stored results. However, meter setting may need to be reset, see page 17.
Remove the used batteries and insert two new batteries with the ‘+’ side facing up. Make sure the batteries are inserted firmly.
Step 2
Place the cover on the battery compartment. Close the battery cover firmly. A click may be heard.

Checking the System
ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Meter and Test Strips should be checked using ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions, available in two levels (Level 1 and Level 2). ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions contain a known amount of glucose and are used to check that the meter and test strips are working properly.
The test strip vials have ReliOn™ Premier Control Solution ranges printed on their labels. Compare the result displayed on the meter to the control solution range printed on the test strip vial.
NOTE
• Use ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions only (available for purchase separately).
• Check the expiration date printed on the bottle. When the control solution bottle is first opened record the discard date (date opened plus three (3) months) in the space provided on the label.
• Make sure the meter, test strips, and control solutions are at room temperature before testing. Control solution tests must be done at room temperature, 68–77°F (20–25°C).
• Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard the first 1 or 2 drops, and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a temperature between 46–86°F (8–30°C ).
Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips, you should conduct a control solution test following the procedure on pages 28–30 with ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions.
28
Control Solution Testing
Insert a test strip into the meter’s test strip port with the contact bars facing upwards.
Gently push the test strip into the port until the meter beeps. Be careful not to bend the test strip while pushing it in.
The
symbol will show up.
• You want to practice the test procedure using the control solution, instead of blood.
• You use the meter for the first time.
• You begin using a new vial of test strips.
• You suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.
• You think your test results are inaccurate or they do not reflect how you feel.
• The meter is dropped or damaged.
Use ReliOn™ Premier Control Solution when:
Step 1
You can flag the control solution test result by pressing the > button for 3 seconds. To undo the control solution flag, press the > button for 3 seconds again.
Step 2
29
Shake the ReliOn™ Premier Control Solution bottle before each test.
Remove the cap and squeeze the bottle to discard the first 1 or 2 drops.
Wipe the tip with a clean tissue or cloth. Dispense a drop of control solution onto a clean non-absorbent surface. It helps to squeeze a drop onto the top of the cap as shown.
After the
symbol appears on the display, apply the solution to the narrow edge of the test strip until the meter beeps. Make sure the confirmation window fills completely.
Step 3
NOTE
• The meter may switch off if the control solution sample is not applied within 2 minutes of the
symbol
appearing on the screen.
• If the meter turns off, remove the test strip, reinsert, and start from step 2.
30
Control Solution Range Level 1: 101–151 mg/dL
Level 2: 184–276 mg/dL
The display segments will rotate clockwise and a test result will appear after the meter counts down from 5 to 1.
When flagged, the result is stored in the meter’s memory but it is not included in the averages.
Step 4
Compare the result displayed on the meter to the range printed on the test strip vial. The result should fall within the range.
Step 5
CAUTION
• The range printed on the test strip vial is for the ReliOn™
Premier Control Solutions only. It has nothing to do with your blood glucose level.
NOTE
• ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions can be ordered separately by contacting Customer Service: 1-855-776-0662, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central time, 7 days a week.
