Intended Use
RIGHTEST GT333 Blood Glucose Test Strip is used by individuals with diabetes. It's for checking on glucose levels of whole
blood from capillary. Capillary blood can be sampled from the fingertip, palm and forearm and it provides results equivalent to
a laboratory instrument (Plasma equivalent). RIGHTEST GT333 Blood Glucose Test Strip aid to diabetes control, could be
used by healthcare professionals in clinical setting, also by people to use at home.
RIGHTEST GT333 Blood Glucose Test Strip is intended for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with
diabetes at home as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. RIGHTEST GT333 Blood Glucose Test Strip
should not be used for the diagnosis of, or screening for diabetes or for neonatal use. Alternative site testing should be done
only during steady - state times (when glucose is not changing rapidly).
RIGHTEST GT333 Blood Glucose Test strip is designed for use with RIGHTEST GT300 or GT333 Blood Glucose Meter to
obtain accurate results.
Test Procedure
Preparing the Lancing Device
Wash your hands with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before you start the test.

Sample Size Example
0.75 µL 1.0 µL
Alternate site testing: palm or forearm blood sampling
- To perform a test using samples obtained from alternative sites, install the
clear cap on the lancing device (For more information on how to install,
see the Instructions for the lancing device).
- To increase the blood flow, massage the puncture area of palm or

a " Hi " result, you should immediately contact your Physician or the nearest Emergency Healthcare Services.
Expected glucose values without diabetes
Fasting Blood Glucose
GLUCOSE LEVEL
From 70 to 99 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.5 mmol/L)
From 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L)
126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) and above on more than one testing occasion
Precautions
- Check the expiration date printed on the test strip vial. Do not use expired test strips.
- Close the test strip vial immediately after taking test strip out from the vial.
- Do not perform a control solution test with expired control solution.

- Test results may vary if blood samples are taken from different sites or under certain conditions where glucose levels can
change rapidly such as: following a drink, a meal, an insulin dose or exercise. In these cases, only the fingertip should be
used.
- Users should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the meter, lancing device, control solution and
test strips.
Warning

contact your Physician immediately.
- Please refer to the cleaning and disinfecting instructions in the User's Manual.
Limitations
- The meter readings of the blood glucose may be significantly lower than " true glucose levels " in a hyperglycemic-
hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.
- Caution is advised when glucose values in the interpretation of glucose values are below 50 mg/dL or above 250 mg/dL .
Consult a Physician as soon as possible, if values in this range are obtained.
- Healthcare professionals should evaluate their technique and their patients' technique regarding the use of RIGHTEST
Blood Glucose Monitoring System regularly . To accomplish this, it is recommended that blood glucose monitoring results
be compared with a concurrently obtained laboratory measurement on the same blood sample. A proven clinical
laboratory method employing hexokinase or glucose oxidase should be used as the comparative method.
- Hands and fingers contaminated with sugar from foods or beverages may cause falsely elevated results.
- Flouoride should not be used as a preservative when collecting blood glucose samples.
- Storage of strips near bleach as well as bleach containing products will affect the results of RIGHTEST Blood Glucose T est
strip.
- Inaccurate test results may be obtained at altitudes greater than 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) above sea level.
- Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause inaccurately low results.
- Do not perform the blood glucose test at temperatures below 10°C (50°F) or above 40°C (104°F), nor below 10% or above
90% relative humidity.The suggested temperature range for the control solution test is 15 - 40 °C (59 - 104 °F).
- RIGHTEST Blood Glucose Test strip are designed for use with capillary whole blood samples. Do not use serum or plasma
samples.
