Important Information

a 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.

a 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.

a Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose.

Using other substances will lead to incorrect results.

a If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your blood

glucose test results and you have followed all the instructions given in this

owner’s manual, contact your healthcare professional.

a We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive

individuals or patients in shock. Readings which are lower than actual

values may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycaemic-hyper-

osmolar state, with or without ketosis. Please consult the healthcare

professional before use.

a 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:

For example;

1) 120 mg/dl ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/l

2) 7.2 mmol/l x 18 = 129 mg/dl approximately.

mg/dl Divided by 18 = mmol/l

mmol/l Times 18 = mg/dl

Intended Use

Test Principle

aThis 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 capillary (from the finger, palm, forearm, and upper arm) and

venous blood samples.

It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes, or testing on newborns.

aProfessionals may use test strips to test capillary and venous whole blood;

home use is limited to capillary whole blood testing.

a 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.
