4.2 mmol/L or higher. If patient has recently eaten, fingerstick results from TRUEresult mini can be up to 3.9 mmol/L higher than venous laboratory results. DO NOT perform capillary blood glucose testing on critically ill patients.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: For the most accurate results using TRUEresult mini: Read all instructions before testing. TRUEresult mini is an in vitro (outside body) quantitative system that is used for self-testing and point-of-care (bedside) testing of human whole blood only. Plasma values.

Getting Started The Meter turns on when a Test Strip is inserted into the Test Port or when “ ” Button is pressed (see Memory and Time and Date Set Up). Meter turns off when the Strip is released from the Meter or after two minutes of non-use.
Quality Control Testing To assure you are getting accurate and reliable results, TRUEresult mini offers two kinds of quality control tests. These tests let you know that your TRUEresult mini System is working properly and your testing technique is good.
Page 17
Control Test We recommend performing Control Tests for practice before using your Meter for the first time to test your blood. Control Tests should also be performed: heat or cold, or humidity, gotten wet, crushed, etc.). Control Tests check that the System is working properly and your testing technique is good.
How to Test Control Solution 1. Allow Control Solution, vial of Strips and Meter to adjust to 20°C-25°C (room temperature). Write date first opened on Control Solution bottle label and Strip vial label. May 30, 2013 Note: Running a Control Test at temperatures outside the range listed above may cause Control Solution to read as a blood test.
6. Wait until Drop Symbol appears in Display. Keep Strip in Meter until testing is finished. Apply Sample Note: If Strip is removed before testing is finished, an error message appears. Release and discard old Strip. Use new Strip for testing. 7.

11. Compare result to Control Solution Range printed on Strip vial label for Control Control Solution Solution Level you are using. Bottle Label If result is in range, System can be used Test Strip for testing blood. If Vial Label result does not fall within range, repeat test using a new Strip.
Obtaining a Blood Sample Refer to Lancing Device “Instructions for Use” for detailed instructions. NEVER share a lancet or lancing device. From Fingertip 1. Prepare fingertip by washing hands in warm, soapy water. Rinse well. Dry thoroughly. Place end of Lancing Device against tip of finger.
Page 22
From Forearm 1. Select area to be lanced. Wash with soap and warm water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Rub area vigorously or apply a warm dry compress to increase blood flow. 3. Place end of Lancing Device firmly against forearm. Press trigger button.
How to Test Blood Glucose 1. Check dates on Test Strip vial being used. Do not use if 4 months after opening or after date printed next to on label. Wash hands (and forearm for alternate site testing). Rinse well and dry thoroughly. 3.

7. With Test Strip still in Meter, touch edge of Sample tip to blood drop and allow blood to be drawn into Strip. Remove Test Strip Sample Tip from sample drop immediately after the dashes appear across Meter Display. Holding the Test Strip Sample Tip to the blood sample too long after the Meter begins testing may cause inaccurate results.
System Out of Range Warning Messages Meter reads blood glucose levels from 1.1 - 33.3 mmol/L. If blood test result is less than 1.1 mmol/L, “Lo” appears in Meter Display. If blood test result is greater than 33.3 mmol/L, “HI” appears in Meter Display.
