Self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is an important part of diabetes care. But the high cost of testing can make this impossible. At ACON, our goal is to provide high quality glucose monitoring systems at a price that allows you to test as often as necessary.

Getting Started Before testing, read the instructions carefully and learn about all the components of your On Call Extra Mobile Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Depending on the ® Extra Mobile product you purchased, some of the components may need ® On Call to be purchased separately.
Component Descriptions Blood Glucose Meter: Reads the test strips and displays the blood glucose concentration. Test Strips: Strips with a chemical reagent system used with the meter to measure glucose concentration in blood. Lancing Device: Used with sterile lancets to prick the fingertip, palm (at the base of the thumb) or forearm for blood sample collection.

Meter Use and Precautions Wait for the Blood Drop/Strip Symbol to appear before applying the sample. The meter is preset to display blood glucose concentration in either millimoles per liter (mmol/L) or milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). This depends on your country’s standard unit of measurement.
Extra Blood Glucose Test Strips ® On Call The On Call Extra Blood Glucose Test Strips are thin strips. The strips have a ® chemical reagent system. They work with the On Call Extra Mobile Blood Glucose ® Meter to measure the glucose concentration in whole blood. After the strip is inserted into the meter, blood is applied to the sample tip of the test strip.

Page 22
7. Remove and discard the used test strip. The display should also show a pound sign (#) indicating the test is a control solution test. This shows that the number will not be counted in the 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90-day averages. The pound sign (#) will also be displayed when reviewing the results stored in memory.

2. Hold the lancet firmly in the lancet holder and twist the safety tab of the lancet until it loosens, then pull the safety tab off the lancet. Save the safety tab for lancet disposal. 3. Carefully screw the cover back onto the lancing device. Avoid contact with the exposed needle.
Page 25
6. Prior to testing, wipe your hands with an alcohol swab or wash your hands with soap. Use warm water to increase blood flow in your fingers if necessary. Dry your hands thoroughly. Massage the hand from the wrist up to the fingertip a few times to encourage blood flow.
Page 26
Fingertips should be used if testing is within 2 hours of a meal, an insulin dose or exercise and any time you feel your glucose levels are changing rapidly. You should test with the fingertips anytime there is a concern for hypoglycemia or you suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness.

Disposal of the Lancet 1. Unscrew the lancing device cover. Place the safety tab of the lancet on a hard surface. Carefully insert the lancet needle into the safety tab. 2. Press the release button to make sure that the lancet is in the extended position. Slide the ejection button forward to discard the used lancet.
Step 2 – Testing Blood Glucose Note: Insertion of a new test strip at any time, except while in the data transfer mode (See page 29) will cause the meter to automatically enter the test mode. 1. Insert a test strip into the strip port, contact bars end first and facing up. This will turn on the meter and display all the display segments.
Page 29
5. The meter will count down from 3 to 1 and then display the measurement’s result. The meter will also beep to indicate that the measurement is complete, then your blood glucose level will display on the screen. The measurement’s unit, date, and time of the test will also be displayed.

When the meter begins automatic Bluetooth transmission, the glucose reading ® remains on the display and the words “bt” and “to” appear at the top of the display. Once the transmission has finished, the words “bt” and “SEnt” appear at the top of the display.
If an error message appears on the display, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 35. If a “HI” or “LO” error appears on the display, refer to “HI” and “LO” messages below. 6. Record valid results in your logbook with the date and time, and compare them to the target goals set by your diabetes healthcare professional.
Using the Meter Memory The meter automatically stores up to 500 test records. Each record includes the test result, time and date. If there are already 500 records in memory, the oldest record will be erased to make room for a new one. The meter will also calculate the average values of records from the last 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90 days.
Note: Only test results that have been marked as “before meal” or “after meal” are included in pre-meal and post-meal averages. All blood glucose results are included in the general 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90-day averages. 6. If there are fewer than 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90 days in memory, all the readings without the pound (#) sign currently stored in memory will be averaged instead.
Manually Transferring Records by Bluetooth ® Wireless Technology Instead of transferring data immediately after completing the blood glucose measurement when auto-send function is on, the meter can also wirelessly transfer your stored diabetes information manually when you choose to send the data. You will need a mobile application on your mobile device to accept the meter’s data.

Maintenance Proper maintenance is recommended for best results. Replacing the Battery Your On Call ® Extra Mobile Meter uses one 3.0 Volt CR 2032 lithium battery. When the battery icon ( ) is blinking, it means the battery is running low. You should replace the battery as soon as possible.
Caring for Your On Call ® Extra Mobile Blood Glucose Monitoring System Blood Glucose Meter Your On Call ® Extra Mobile Blood Glucose Meter does not require special maintenance or cleaning. A cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent solution can be used to wipe the outside of the meter.
Suggested Testing Times and Target Goals Tracking your blood glucose concentration through frequent testing is an important part of proper diabetes care. Your healthcare professional will help you decide the normal target range for your glucose levels. They will also help you to determine when and how often you should test your blood glucose.
Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results Your On Call ® Extra Mobile Blood Glucose System and laboratory results both report the glucose concentration in the serum or plasma component of your blood. However, the results may differ somewhat due to normal variation. The meter results can be affected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way.
