Checking Your System with GlucoDr.S Control Solution Control solution test is to check the performance of your meter and test strips. GlucoDr.S Control Solution contains a measured amount of glucose that reacts with the GlucoDr.S Test Strips. The control solution test confirms that your meter and test strips are working correctly.
Page 14
Checking Your System with GlucoDr.S Control Solution - Do not drink the control solution. - Tightly close the cap of control solution vial and store at a room temperature after the test. Check the expiration date printed on the test strip vial.
Page 15
Apply Control Solution Shake the control solution vial well. Prepare a drop of the control solution on a clean plate. Slowly let the side edge of the yellow window of the test strip touch the drop of the control solution. Once the confirmation window fills completely, your meter will begin the countdown.

- or Meter malfunction If your control solution test results continue to fall outside the range printed on the test strip vial, the GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring System may not be working properly. - If this is the case, do not use the system to test your blood glucose levels.
Preparing the Lancing Device Remove the cap Turn the cap of the lancing device counter-clockwise to remove the cap. Insert a Lancet into the Lancet Holder. Insert the lancet firmly into the holder until it comes to a full stop. When the lancet is placed in the lancing device, twist off the protective disk of the lancet.
Adjust the Puncture Depth Setting The dial for setting the puncture depth is at the tip of the lancing device. Higher number indicates deeper puncture. Thus, dial to the lower number for thin skin. Charge the Lancing Device. Draw back the end part of lancing device until it clicks, and then release it. Lance your Finger Place the lancing device carefully on the tip of your finger and press the release button.

Understanding Your Test Results The GlucoDr.S Meter will display test result between 20 and 600 mg/dL (1.1~33.3 mmol/L) If your test result is lower than 20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L), “Lo” will appear on the meter display. If your test result is higher than 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L), “HI” will appear on the meter display.
Page 29
If your test result is lower than 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) or hypoglycemic warning limit, “ ” will appear on the meter display. If your result is higher than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) or hyperglycemic warning limit, “ ” will appear on the meter display.

Recalling the Previous Test Results The GlucoDr.S Meter has a memory capacity to store up to 500 most recent test results with date, time and event. It also provides you averages of your blood glucose test results over a period of time (Options: 7d, 14d, 30d, 60d, or 90d average). You can review the test results stored in the memory by the following steps.
Page 31
Indicate the Average Value You can select the number of days for the average (7d, 14d, 30d, 60d, or 90d) in the SET MODE. “7d” shown in the left side indicates that the value 96 is a calculated average for the past 7 days. The meter is pre-set with the average day of 7d.

Performance Characteristics The performance of the GlucoDr.S Test Strips 3 lots has been evaluated in clinical tests. Accuracy: The accuracy of the GlucoDr.S Blood Glucose Monitoring System was assessed by comparing blood glucose test results obtained from 100 diabetic patients with those obtained using a YSI Model 2300 STAT Plus Glucose Analyzer.
Page 50
User Performance Evaluation: A study evaluating glucose values from fingertip capillary blood samples obtained by 146 lay persons showed the following results: 100 % within ± 15 mg/dL (± 0.83 mmol/L) of the medical laboratory values at glucose concentrations below 100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L), and 100 % within ± 15 % of the medical laboratory values at glucose concentrations at or above 100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L).
Page 51
The interferences except xylose were tested at more than their therapeutic concentrations and their effects on GlucoDr.S test results were less than ± 10 mg/dL at glucose concentrations below 100 mg/dL and less than ± 10% at glucose concentrations above 100 mg/dL.
