Before Testing

Calibration
You must calibrate the device every time you begin to use a
new box of ß-Ketone test strips by setting the meter with the
correct code. To ensure test accuracy, make sure the code number
displayed on the display screen matches the number printed on
the test strip vial or individual foil pack.

How to Code Your Meter

1. Insert the code strip into the test slot of the device. Wait for the
device to display the code number.
Important!
Make sure the code number on display, code strip, and test strip
vial or individual foil pack are the same. (c)
2. Remove the code strip, the display will show "OFF" indicating
the device has finished coding and is ready for ß-Ketone or
blood glucose testing.

Checking the Code Number

Make sure that the code number displayed on the device matches
the number on the test strip vial or individual foil pack before you
proceed. (d)
If it matches, you can proceed with your test. Otherwise, please
stop testing and repeat the calibration procedure.
If the problem persists, contact Customer Service for further
assistance.
Important!
• It is important to make sure that the LCD displayed code is the
same as the code on the test strip vial or individual foil pack
before testing. Failure to do so will get inaccurate results.

Control Solution Testing

Our Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose or
ß-Ketone that reacts with test strips and is used to ensure your
device and test strips are working together correctly.
Do a control solution test when:
you suspect the device or test strips are not working properly.
9 9
your blood glucose or β-Ketone test results are not consistent
9 9
with how you feel, or if you think the results are not accurate.
you have dropped or think you may have damaged the device.

To perform the control solution test, do the following:
1. Insert the test strip into the test slot of the device. Wait for the
device to display the test strip and blood drop symbol. (e)
2. The meter will detect the difference between control solution
and blood samples automatically. It will automatically marks the
result as a control solution test with "QC" display.
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 device to move
the absorbent hole of test strip to touch the drop. Once the
confirmation window fills completely, the device will begin
counting down. (g)
