1.1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing Blood Glucose / Cholesterol Monitoring
System. Please read the "User's Manual" for your convenient and for
safe use.
The Blood Glucose / Cholesterol Monitoring System provides you
with accurate, plasma-calibrated results based on electrochemical sense
technology and the superior capillary sampling. The Blood
Glucose / Cholesterol Monitoring System require only a small amount of
blood, the result is precisely calculated and displayed.
Please read the entire "User's Manual" carefully before using the
Blood Glucose / Cholesterol Monitoring System. The "User's Manual"
guides you through the operation procedures with illustrated directions

1.2 Precautions
Please observe the following limitations for obtaining accurate results
of Blood Glucose / Cholesterol Monitoring System.
- The measurements are only for reference purposes. For an analysis
of the measurements, consult specialists.
- For In-vitro diagnostic use only (External use only).
- Single use only, please do not reuse the test strip.
- Do not use this product for those who cannot express their opinions
properly including infants or babies.
-3-
- Handle the strip with clean and dry hands; lancing site for the test
should be cleaned and dried thoroughly.
- Do not perform the test while a cell phone is used beside; prevent
the electronic signal interference.
- Oxygen concentration in air is low may cause the test inaccurate;
there is no effect from altitude up to 10,000 feet above sea level.
- Medical therapy for intravenous injection, such as immunoglobulin
preparations and peritoneal dialysis solutions,containing sugar
compounds may cause higher test results.
- Hematocrit (Hct) range from 30-55% is acceptable.Hct less than
30% may cause elevated result.Hct above 55% may cause reduced
glucose results versus a whole blood reference.
- Do not drop the product.
- Keep the lancets and lancing device out of the reach of the children.
o
- Keep the meter and test strips at room temperature (10-30 C).
1.3 Intended Use
TBG-460GC Blood Glucose and Cholesterol Monitoring System
is intended to be used for quantitative measurement of blood glucose
level and cholesterol level in fresh capillary whole blood drawn from the
fingertips. It is intended for use outside of body (In Vitro diagnostic

Coding the Meter
TBG-460GC meter should be coded before testing with test Strips for
the first time, or every time a new box of test strips is used. Each vial of
test strips has an assigned code number. The code strip is packaged
with the test strip in order to calibrate/code the meter. Every time a test
strip is inserted, please be sure to check the code number appearing on
the screen is the same as the code number marked on the test strip vial.

Directions :
1. Insert code strip into the test port of
the meter. Wait for the code number
and test mode to appear on the
screen.
2. Make sure the code number on the
screen is the same as the code
number on the code strip, and the
test mode is also the same as
marked on the test vial. Remove the
code strip. “ ” should appear on the
screen, indicating that the meter has
been successfully coded.
Cautions :
If “E-E” appears on the screen during coding procedure, there
may be a problem with the code strip or a wrong category
code strip may be misused. Perform the coding procedures
again, and if “E-E” continues to appear, please contact the
authorized distributor for service.

3.4 Special messages
Mode Lo Hi
Glucose < 20 mg/dL (1.11 mmol/L) > 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L)
Total Cholesterol < 100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) > 400 mg/dL (10.35 mmol/L)
Intended to use:
The control solution is used to check the performance of the system,
including Blood Glucose and Cholesterol Monitor System, Glucose and
Cholesterol strip, user's test skill. The system is performing adequately
if the control solution test result falls within the indicated control range
listed on the test strips vial label.
A control test should be proceeded:
1. When you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working
properly.
2. When your blood glucose or cholesterol test results are not
consistent with how you feel, or when you think your results are not
accurate.
3. When you drop or bump your meter.
4. Upon the advice of the healthcare professional.
How to perform a control test.
1. Insert a test strip into the test strip port of the meter and immediately
cover the vial to keep the strips in dry condition.
2. Be careful to make sure the test mode and code number on the
screen are the same as the one marked on the test strip vial. If not,
remove the test strip and re-code the meter to correct test mode and
code number.
3. Shake the control Solution vial vigorously then open the cap to
discard the first three drops of control solution, after wiping the
dispense tip and cleaning with tissue then drop some control solution
onto a clean object such as transparency. If it is a cholesterol test,
