BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Important Information
●
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings
which are lower than actual values. If you believe you are suffering
from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional
immediately.
●
If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual, and
you do not have any symptoms of illness, first repeat the test. If
you have symptoms or continue to get results which are higher
or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your
healthcare professional.
●
Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose.
Using other substances will lead to incorrect results.
●
If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your
blood glucose test results and you have followed all the
instructions given in this ownerʼs manual, contact your healthcare
professional.
●
We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive
individuals or patients in shock. Please consult the healthcare
professional before use.
●
The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of
blood or plasma glucose can either have a weight dimension (mg/
dL) or a molarity (mmol/L). The approximate calculation rule for
conversion of mg/dL in mmol/L is:
mg/dL
mmol/L
For example:
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.
Divided by 18
Times 18
= mmol/L
= mg/dL
8
Intended Use
This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro
diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by health
care professionals in clinical settings as an aid to monitoring the
effectiveness of diabetes control. It is intended to be used for the
quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood
samples (from the finger, palm, forearm and upper arm).
It should not be used for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes, or
testing on newborns.
Professionals may test with capillary and venous blood sample; home
use is limited to capillary whole blood testing.
PLUS Talking “speaks” aloud with step by step instructions to guide
you through the process of blood glucose testing.
Test Principle
Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole blood.
The glucose testing is based on the measurement of electrical current
generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the strip.
The meter measures the current, calculates the blood glucose level,
and displays the result. The strength of the current produced by the
reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.

TESTING WITH BLOOD SAMPLE
WARNING:
To reduce the chance of infection:
• Never share a lancet or the lancing device.
• Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
• Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets and the
lancing device.
Preparing the Lancing Device for Blood
Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for collecting
a blood sample.
Preparing the Puncture Site
Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site before blood
extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value obtained.
Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a measurably
different glucose concentration than blood from the finger. When the
puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference was
significantly reduced.
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of
blood:
●
Wash and dry your hands before starting.
●
Select the puncture site either at fingertips or another body parts
(please see section “Alternative Site Testing” (AST) on how to
select the appropriate sites).
24
●
Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
●
Clean the puncture site using cotton moistened with 70% alcohol
and let it air dry.
●
Use a clear cap (included in the kit) while setting up the lancing
device.
●
Fingertip testing
Press the lancing deviceʼs tip firmly
against the lower side of your fingertip.
Press the release button to prick your
finger, then a click indicates that the
puncture is complete.
●
Blood from sites other than the
1
fingertip
Replace the lancing device cap with
2
the clear cap for AST. Pull the cocking
control back until it clicks. When lancing
the forearm, upper arm, or hand, avoid
lancing the areas with obvious veins
because of excessive bleeding.
NOTE:
• Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures at the
same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
• Please consult your health care professional before you begin AST.
• It is recommended that you discard the first drop of blood as it might
contain tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.

Important:
There are limitations with AST
(Alternative Site Testing).
Please consult your health care
professional before you
perform AST.
Suggested Test Areas
for the Hand
When to use AST?
Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affect blood
glucose levels. Capillary blood at the fingertip reflects these changes
faster than capillary blood at other sites. Thus, when testing blood
glucose during or immediately after a meal, physical exercise, or any
other event, take a blood sample from your finger only.
We strongly recommend that you perform AST ONLY at the following
times:
●
In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last
meal).
●
Two hours or more after taking insulin.
●
Two hours or more after exercise.
Upper Arm
Forearm
Do NOT use AST if:
●
You think your blood glucose is low.
●
You are unaware of hypoglycemia.
●
You are testing for hyperglycemia.
●
Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
●
Your routine glucose results often fluctuate.
