INTRODUCTION Before taking your first measurement, please take note of the following important information. iDia ■ The blood glucose monitoring system is an in vitro diagnos- tic tool that is suitable for self-testing. It enables people with diabetes and specialist medical staff to determine blood glucose values.
DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM COMPONENTS LIGHT BUTTON AND DATA PORT Light button Data port Pressing the light button when the blood glucose monitoring system is switched on will activate the display's blue background lighting. This makes it possible to take and read measurements correctly even in low light conditions.
Measurement contacts Insert the test strip into the test strip slot, with the measurement contacts first. NOTE iDia You can touch the measurement field of the test strips freely with clean, dry hands. The test result will not be affected.
CONFIGURATION CONFIGURATION Set button First remove the battery cover and check that the required 3 V lith- ium batteries (type CR 2032) have been inserted. If this is not the case, you will need new batteries (see page 46). Then set the current date and correct time. To do this, press the set button (using a pen, for example), and then press the main button (this changes the flashing value on the display).
CONFIGURATION DATE AND TIME NOTE The figures needing adjustment flash on and off (shown in white in the illustrations). Set button pressed once: The blood glucose meter switches itself on. ‘Year’ setting Set button pressed second time: ‘Month’ setting Set button pressed third time: ‘Day’...
CONFIGURATION TEST REMINDER – Set button pressed sixth to tenth times: ‘Test reminder’ setting: up to five different test reminder times can be set (see page 14). Set button pressed eleventh time: The blood glucose meter switches itself off. Finally, place the battery cover on the device. NOTE If you change settings using the set button and main button, you will need to go through all of the settings until the blood glucose...

(after pressing the set button for the last time). Your changes will only be saved after this step. iDia Your blood glucose monitoring system can issue an alarm tone five times a day to remind you to check your blood glucose level.
Page 15
CONFIGURATION When the test reminder function is activated, you will be prompted to enter the first of your preferred times. Press the set button and then use the main button to set the desired hour ( ) and minute ( and confirm by pressing the set button again.
SYMBOL DEFINITIONS ‘INSERT TEST STRIP’ NOTIFICATION iDia After the blood glucose monitoring system has been switched on with the main button, the test strip symbol will appear in the display. You should now insert the test strip into the device’s test strip slot. Correct insertion of the test strip will be confirmed by an audio signal.
SYMBOL DEFINITIONS MEASUREMENT PERIOD Measurement begins once the test area of the test strip is sufficiently filled with blood, and lasts only 7 seconds. During the measurement, an hourglass animation is visible on the display.
SYMBOL DEFINITIONS TEST RESULT 7 seconds after the start of the measurement, the blood glucose value will be displayed and automatically saved, together with the date and time ( MEASUREMENT UNIT This will be displayed together with the measurement reading...
SYMBOL DEFINITIONS ‘HI’ NOTIFICATION This will appear if the measured blood glucose value exceeds 600 mg/dL or 33.3 mmol/L ( ‘LO’ NOTIFICATION This will appear if the measured blood glucose value is below 10 mg/dL or 0.6 mmol/L ( NOTE If you receive a ‘HI‘...
SYMBOL DEFINITIONS MEMORY DISPLAY iDia blood glucose meter can save up to 900 blood glucose measurements, along with the date and time of each. Blood glu- cose measurements and control solution measurements are stored separately. If the user exceeds the memory capacity, each addi- tional measurement will automatically overwrite the oldest saved blood glucose value.
SYMBOL DEFINITIONS TEST REMINDER If the test reminder function is activated, this will be indicated by an alarm symbol on the display when the blood glucose moni- toring system is switched on (see also page 15). KETONE NOTIFICATION If the measured blood glucose value exceeds 300 mg/dL or 16.7 mmol/L, the ketone notification will be automatically dis- played, which warns you of a potential ketoacidosis.
ERROR DEFINITIONS AND RECTIFICATION The following errors will be shown on the display with an ‘Err‘ or ‘EEE‘ notification: Err + battery symbol ■ Not enough battery power Change the battery (see page 46 onwards). Err + thermometer symbol ■ The ambient temperature is outside the acceptable temperature range.
Page 23
ERROR DEFINITIONS AND RECTIFICATION ■ Electronic error In this case, please contact IME-DC customer service. Service hotline: +49 9281 | 85 01 6-0 Err + test strip symbol ■ Test strip malfunction ■ Used test strip ■ Not enough blood absorbed ■...
AVERAGE CALCULATION OF MEASUREMENTS iDia Your blood glucose meter allows you to call up and display the average values of the last 24 hours and the past 7, 14, 21, 28, 60 and 90 days. To do this, please activate the memory display ( ) (see page 20).
CONTROL SOLUTION USING THE CONTROL SOLUTION Test measurement with the iDia control solution is used to check that the blood glucose monitoring system is functioning correctly. This procedure is recommended in the following cases: ■ For teaching and training purposes ■...
CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING WITH THE CONTROL SOLUTION iDia Insert an test strip into the test strip slot. The blood glucose monitoring system will switch itself on automatically. The display will now prompt you to take a blood sample. Press the main button and hold it for approximately 2 seconds until the control solution symbol appears in the display.
Page 28
CONTROL SOLUTION Next, rotate the control solution bottle 3 – 4 times. Please don’t shake it! After opening the bottle, put a drop of control solution on a clean, dry surface (for example, the lid of the test strip contain- er), at a distance of approximately 2 cm.
Page 29
(as shown on the test strip container), repeat the measurement. If an error message ap- pears again or if the measurement is again outside the target range, please contact IME-DC customer service. Service hotline: +49 9281 | 85 01 6-0...
USING THE LANCING DEVICE Unscrew the lancing device cap. Insert the lancet into the slot. Twist off the lancet protection cap. Screw the lancing device cap back on. Set your personal puncture depth (minimum 1, maximum 5). Load the lancing device by pulling the spring clip back.
Page 33
USING THE LANCING DEVICE Press the tip of the lancing device against your finger and press the activation button. The blood drop obtained can be used for the measurement procedure. Unscrew the lancing device cap. Press the lancet into the protective cap. Slide the spring clip forward sharply, to eject the lancet.

Endogenous substances in the human body such as bilirubin, uric acid, glutathione, triacylglycerol and cholesterol, in addition to the medical substances shown in the table, do not have a significant iDia effect on the blood glucose monitoring results from the blood glucose meter if they do not exceed normal concentrations orth- erapeutic dosages.
Page 40
If haematocrit values are more than 70 %, it is possible that an inaccurately low blood glucose value is displayed. iDia When measuring EDTA-treated blood samples with the blood glucose meter, the blood glucose values recorded may differ from those of an untreated blood sample.
