IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

READ BEFORE USE

Users need to adhere to Standard Precautions when handling or using this device. All parts of the

glucose monitoring system should be considered potentially infectious and are capable of transmitting

bloodborne pathogens between patients and healthcare professionals. For more information, refer to

“Guideline for Isolation Precautions: Preventing Transmission of Infectious Agents in Healthcare

Settings 2007”, http://www.cdc.gov/hicpac/2007ip/2007isolationprecautions.html.

● The meter should be disinfected after use on each patient. This Blood Glucose Monitoring System

may only be used for testing multiple patients when Standard Precautions and the manufacturer’s

disinfection procedures are followed.

● Only auto-disabling, single-use lancing devices should be used with this device.

1. Use this device ONLY for the intended use described in this manual.

Carry out all the quality control checks as directed.

7. Keep the device and testing equipment away from young children. Small items such as the battery

cover, batteries, test strips, lancets and vial caps are choking hazards.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Severe dehydration and excessive water loss

may cause readings which are lower than actual

values. If the patient is suffering from severe

dehydration, consult a healthcare professional

immediately.

● If the patient’s blood glucose results are lower

or higher than usual, and does not have any

symptoms of illness, rst repeat the test. If the

patient has symptoms or continues to get

results which are higher or lower than usual,

follow the treatment advice of a healthcare

professional.

● Use only fresh whole blood samples to test

patient’s blood glucose. Using other substances

will lead to incorrect results.

● If the patient has symptoms that are

inconsistent with the blood glucose test results

and you have followed all the instructions given

in this owner’s manual, contact a healthcare

professional.

● 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 hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or

without ketosis. Please consult a healthcare

professional before use.

INTENDED USE

This system is intended to be used for the

quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar)

in fresh whole blood samples (from the nger).

This system is intended for multiple-patient use

in professional healthcare settings as an aid to

monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.

It should not be used for the diagnosis of

diabetes, or testing on neonates.

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.

This system uses enzyme of FAD–dependent

glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) from E. coli.
