Intended Use
The ReliOn Ultima Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in the
Language
quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh whole blood for self-testing by lay users (e.g., from the
nger, forearm, upper arm or base of thumb), or by health care professionals. It is not intended to be
used for testing neonatal blood samples. The ReliOn Ultima system is indicated for home (lay user) or
professional use in the management of patients with diabetes.
The system is not for use in diagnosis or screening of diabetes mellitus, but is to be used as an aid in
Language
monitoring the eectiveness of diabetes control programs.
IMPORTANT: Use only ReliOn Ultima blood glucose test strips. Other
test strips may produce inaccurate results.

Page 5
IMPORTANT: See test strip instructions for use for more information about
sample types.
Potential infection risk: Healthcare professionals performing blood tests with
this system on multiple patients must always wear gloves and should follow the
infection control policies and procedures approved by their facility.
Read the instructions in this user’s manual. Failure to follow instructions may cause
incorrect results. Practice the testing procedures before using the meter. Follow your
healthcare professional’s advice when testing blood glucose levels.
Warning: Test on your ngers if you are testing for hypoglycemia (low blood
glucose) or if you suer from hypoglycemia unawareness.
Observe caution when using around children. Small parts may constitute a
choking hazard.
How Your ReliOn Ultima Blood Glucose 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 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.
IMPORTANT: Avoid getting dust, dirt, blood, control solution, water or
any other substance in the meter’s test strip port.

Important Health-Related Information
Low or high blood glucose results can indicate a potentially serious medical condition. If your blood

glucose result is unusually low or high, or if you do not feel the way your result indicates, repeat
the test with a new test strip. If your result is not consistent with your symptoms or if your blood
glucose result is less than 50 mg/dL or higher than 300 mg/dL you should contact your healthcare
professional and follow his or her treatment advice.
The expected glucose range for a non-diabetic, non-pregnant fasting adult is under 100 mg/dL.

MediSense Glucose Control Solutions
IMPORTANT: When you open a control solution bottle for the
rst time, count forward 90 days and write this date on the control
solution bottle using a pen that won’t smear or wipe o. Throw away
any remaining solution after this date.
Control solutions may be used with glucose test strips.
Use control solution:
•When using the meter for the rst time
•To practice testing without using your own blood
•To conrm that the meter and test strips work together properly
•When your test results do not agree with how you feel
•When opening a new box of test strips
•When you get a HI or LO result
There are three levels of control solution available (Low, Mid, High). Contact

range printed on the test strip instructions for use. Check that the lot number
printed on the test strip packet and instructions for use match.
The control solution range is a target range for control solution only. It is not a
target range for your blood glucose level. Control solution tests are specied
to be accurate only when used between 59° and 104°F (15° and 40°C).
•Stop using the meter if control solution results are continually outside the range printed on the
