System
Thank you for choosing the 3in1. system.
3in1. is a new system, useful for the monitoring of glucose,
cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
3in1. has two different technologies:
• amperometric, with 3in1. glucose electrodes strips.
• reflectometric, with 3in1. cholesterol and triglycerides strips.
Self–monitoring of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides could be
helpful, but the treatment to be applied should be agreed with the
physician. The 3in1. system is plasma-calibrated.
Information about 3in1. system line
The 3in1. system line includes everything necessary for self testing:
• 3in1. meter
• 3in1. strips 10 pcs
• Lancing device 1 pc
• Sterile lancets 10 pcs
• 3in1. control solutions - available by extra order
• 3in1. data manager software - by special request.
Read carefully the instructions for use inside the box of 3in1. strips
that you want to use and read carefully the instructions for the use of
the lancing device that are included in the 3in1. meter box.

Mode
The 3in1. meter has three modes.
You can check the present mode of the meter by seeing the top of
display.
1. Standby Mode
Press and release the power button.
A strip-shaped symbol will twinkle and the meter will display the data
chip number, time and date.
2. Memory Mode
Press and release the “+” or “-” button in the standby mode.
The meter will display a “MEM” symbol on the top of the display.
3. Set Mode
Press and release the power button in the standby mode.
Press again the power button for 3 seconds.
The meter will display a “SET” symbol on the top of the display.

Coding the meter
Attention!
The code chip is not necessary for glucose measuring.
The 3in1. meter uses a data-chip that is inside the strips
box. It will be necessary to change the data-chip in the following
cases:
a. before using a new strips box,
b. when you want to change the analyte.
1 Remove the data-chip from the strips box.
2 Insert the data-chip in the proper space in the back part of the
meter.
3 Gently press the data-chip up to the complete insertion.
Measurement

4 Press power button and check the three digit number is the same
of the one printed on the strips vial.
5 If the data-chip is not inserted, it is impossible to perform the
measurement.
6 Analytes:
CH = CHOLESTEROL (GREEN)
TGL=TRIGLYCERIDES (YELLOW)

When switching on the meter, check that the date
and the hour are correct.
How to obtain a drop of blood
To perform a measurement with the 3in1. system, it is necessary to
withdraw a drop of capillary blood by following the procedure:
• Wash the hands with warm water to increase blood circulation in
the fingers to simplify the withdrawal of blood.
• Dry your hands.
• Check that the finger to be pricked is completely dried.
• Prepare the lancing device that is inside the 3in1. kit by inserting
the sterile lancet.
Read carefully the instruction for use of the lancing device
contained in the meter kit.
Use a new lancet for each prick and use the lancing device only on
yourself.
Before insertion, verify that the lancets and the protection of the
lancets are intact.
Only an intact lancet protection can guarantee that the lancet remains
sterile.
Store the protection of the lancet in order to use it to seal the lancet
after use.

Application of blood
Read carefully the instructions for the use strips that you want to use
to perform the measurement.
1 Press the Power button. Insert data-chip
only for cholesterol and triglycerides
measurements. The symbol that appears
on the display (3in1. for glucose or a
three digit number for cholesterol and
triglycerides) has to match the symbol
printed on the strips vial. If they do not
match, contact Customer Service.
Glucose measurements do no require
coding.
2 Take a strip from the vial and insert it in the meter with the printed
or coloured part on the upper side. You will hear a click and the
meter will emit an acoustic signal.
3 Procedure to test glucose:
3.a Perform the prick on the finger with the
lancing device.
Apply a drop of blood on the part of the
strip that comes outside the meter.
Let the strip aspirate the blood up to see
the moving segments on the display.
If the volume is not sufficient the measurement does not start.
