Information

Important Information: Read This First!

For optimum safety and benefits, please read the entire
manual contents before using the system.
Intended Use:
VetMate Blood Glucose Monitoring System is used for use
with VetMate Blood Glucose Meters to quantitatively measure
glucose in capillary and venous whole blood samples drawn
by veterinarians or veterinary surgeons for the management
of diabetes in cats and dogs.
• The VetMate Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for
use in monitoring glucose samples taken from the dog or cat.
• Glucose in blood samples reacts with the chemical in the test
strip to produce a small electrical current. The VetMate Meter
detects this electrical current and measures the amount of
glucose in the blood sample.
• The VetMate Blood Glucose Meter is designed to minimize
code related errors in monitoring by using the no-coding
function.
• The VetMate Blood Glucose Meter should be used only with
the VetMate Blood Glucose Test Strips.
• An abnormally high or low red blood cell count (hematocrit
level over 65 % or below 15 %) may produce inaccurate
results.
