INTRODUCTION:
TRUE METRIX® AIR

Self Monitoring Blood Glucose System

TRUE METRIX AIR is a simple, accurate way to test your
whole blood glucose (sugar) level, anytime, anywhere.
Our goal is to provide quality healthcare products and
dedicated customer service. For questions about TRUE
METRIX products, visit our web site at:

www.niprodiagnostics.com.

e TRUE METRIX AIR Self Monitoring Blood Glucose
System is intended for the quantitative measurement of
glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples
drawn from the ngertip or forearm. e TRUE METRIX
AIR Self Monitoring Blood Glucose System is intended to
be used by a single person and not to be shared.

e TRUE METRIX AIR Self Monitoring Blood Glucose
System is intended for self-testing outside the body (in
vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home as
an aid to monitor the eectiveness of diabetes control.

e TRUE METRIX AIR Self Monitoring Blood Glucose
System should not be used for the diagnosis or screening
of diabetes or for neonatal use. Alternative site testing
should be done only during steady-state times (when
glucose is not changing rapidly).

1

e TRUE METRIX Self Monitoring Test Strips are for
use with the TRUE METRIX AIR Self Monitoring Meter
to quantitatively measure glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary
whole blood samples drawn from the ngertip or forearm.

e TRUE METRIX AIR Self Monitoring Meter measures
the current, detects, analyzes and corrects for hematocrit
and temperature, and calculates the glucose result.

e TRUE METRIX Control Solution is for use with the
TRUE METRIX AIR Self Monitoring Meter and TRUE
METRIX Self Monitoring Test Strips to check that the meter
and the test strip are working together properly and the test
is being performed correctly.

e TRUE METRIX AIR Self Monitoring Meter can send
results both to an application (App) you have on your
smartphone or via docking station/ USB Smart data cable to
a PC.

Importance of Blood Glucose Monitoring

e more you know about diabetes, the better you will be
able to care for yourself. A Doctor or Healthcare
Professional determines how oen you should test and what
your target ranges are for blood glucose results.

Having most blood glucose results within your target range
shows how well your treatment plan is working to control
glucose levels. Keeping results within your target range helps
slow or stop complications from diabetes.

NEVER change your treatment plan without consulting a
Doctor or Healthcare Professional.

Getting Started

Meter comes with pre-set time and date, and
Bluetooth Smart feature on. e Event Tag feature,
Ketone Test Alert, and all Test Reminders are o.
Before using the meter for the rst time or aer
a battery change, check the time, date, Bluetooth
Smart, Event Tags, Alert and Reminders, and
update as needed (see Meter Set Up).

e meter turns on when a test strip is inserted into
the Test Port or when “ • ” Button is pressed (see
Memory and Meter Set Up).

Meter turns o when the test strip is released or
removed from the meter, “ • ” Button is pressed, or
aer 2 minutes of non-use.

e Bluetooth Smart feature turns o when a test
strip is inserted into the Test Port or when meter is
placed into docking station.

Turning the Ketone Test Alert on sets a reminder to
check your ketones per your treatment plan when a
blood glucose result is over 240 mg/dL.

Test Reminders are set like an alarm clock to sound
a tone for 10 seconds to remind you to test. Up to
four Test Reminders per day may be set.

14

Getting Started (cont.)

Event Tags allow you to tag your blood glucose
results to link to the following events:

Before meal –test was taken just before a meal,
Aer meal –test was taken 2 hours aer the start

of a meal,
Exercise – test was taken during or aer exercise,
Medications – medication taken may have

aected test result,
Sick – test was taken when sick,
Other – any other reason that the test is unique

or dierent in some way (example: stress,
drinking alcohol). In your logbook, note the
reason that the test result was tagged. Seeing a
result with this Event Tag in the meter Memory
reminds you that there is more about this test
result in your log book.

Tagging results helps track the eect specic events
may have on your blood glucose test results. Event
Tagging may assist you and your doctor or health­care provider with managing your diabetes.

• If a vial has been le opened or exposed to humidity or
to extreme heat or cold,

• Whenever a check on performance of the system is
needed,

• If meter damage is suspected (meter was dropped,
crushed, wet, etc.)

Note: It is important to perform Control Tests with more

than one level of control solution. ree levels of
TRUE METRIX Control Solution are available
for Control Tests. Call 1-800-803-6025, available
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for assistance in
obtaining dierent levels of control solution.
