Alternative site testing should be done only during steady – state times (when glucose is not changing rapidly). The “ Bioland ” Test Strips are for use with the Blood Glucose Meter to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips, palm, forearm, upper arm, calf and thigh. The Bioland control solutions is intended for use with the System, to check that the glucose meter and test strips are working properly and that you are doing the test ...
When to use AST? Food , medication , illness, stress and exercise can affect blood glucose levels. Capillary blood at fingertip reflects these changes faster than capillary blood at other sites. Therefore when testing blood glucose during or immediately after meal, physical exercise, or any other event, take a blood sample from your finger only. You do AST only in the following instances: In a pre‐meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal). Two hours or more after taking insulin. Two hours or more after exercising. NOTE: Alternative site testing(AST) should not be used to calibrate continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMs). Results from alternative site testing should not be used in insulin doses calculations. Do NOT use AST if: You think your blood glucose is low. You are unaware of hypoglycemia. You are testing for hyperglycemia. Your AST results do not match the way you feel. Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating. ...

When inserted an used strip Strip has been used When room temperature is outside operating Temperature is out of range range, which is 50℉~104℉(10℃~40℃) When error message appear Unable to measure THE TWO MEASURING MODES The meter provides you with two modes for measuring, General and CTL. The CTL mode should be used when a control solution is being tested. See the table below. Modes Use when General test (not display) Any time of day without regard to time since last meal CTL Testing with the control solution You can switch between each mode by: 1. Start with the meter turned off. Insert a test strip to turn on the meter, the screen will display a flashing blood drop. 2. Press M to select General or CTL mode. TESTING WITH BLOOD SAMPLE CAUTION: To reduce the chances of infection: Choose a clean, dry work surface. Never share a lancing device and lancet with another person.

Push the exposed needle into the needle cap, and then push the ejection button to discard the used needle in appropriate container. Cover the device cap at last. Preparing the puncture site Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site prior to blood extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value obtained. Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a measurably different glucose concentration than blood from the finger. When the puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference was significantly reduced. Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of blood: Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration. Select the puncture site either at the fingertips or another body part (please see section “Alternative Site Testing” (AST) on how to select the appropriate sites). Clean the puncture site using cotton moistened with 70% alcohol and let it air dry. Fingertip testing Hold the lancing device firmly against the side of your finger. Press the release key. You will hear a click, indicating that the puncture is complete. ...

Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results The meter provides you with whole blood equivalent results. The result you obtain from your meter may differ somewhat from your laboratory result due to normal variation. Meter results can be affected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way. To make an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory results, follow the guidelines below. Before going to the lab: ■ Do a control solu on test to make sure that the meter is working properly. ■ Fast for at least eight hours and then do comparison tests, if possible. ■ Take your meter with you to the lab. ...
◆ If your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel. ◆ After the test strips are exposed to extreme conditions. ◆ After dropping the meter. The control solution is to check that the meter and the test strips can work together as a system and work correctly. Step 1 Insert the test strip to turn on the meter. Insert the test strip into the meter. Wait for the meter to display the drop symbol. Step 2 You may press “M” button to select CTL mode, for selecting the CTL mode, please refer to the “THE TWO MEASURING MODES” section. Step 3 Apply the control solution Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before use. Squeeze out a drop and wipe it off, then squeeze another drop and place it on the tip of the vial cap. Hold the meter to move the absorbent hole of test strip so it touches the drop. Once the confirmation window fills completely, the meter will begin counting down. To avoid contaminating the control solution, do not directly apply control solution onto a strip. Step 4 The result of the control solutions test appears on the display. The result will not be stored under CTL mode. The result of the control solutions test should be within the range printed on the test strip vial label. If the test results falls outside the specified range printed on test strip vial label, repeat the test. Results falling outside the specified range may be caused by: ■ Error in performing the test ■ Expired or contaminated Control Solu on ■...
