McKesson Quintet AC Owner's Manual page 4

Precaution
• Before using the McKesson Quintet AC blood glucose monitoring system to test your blood glucose,
read all the instructions in this Owner's Manual and practice the tests including the quality control test.
(Read all notes and precautions carefully.)
• Perform the quality control test regularly to make sure the test results are accurate.
• The McKesson Quintet AC blood glucose meter can only be used with the McKesson Quintet AC blood
glucose test strips. The use of other brands of strips is not advised and may give inaccurate results.
• The McKesson Quintet AC system is for in vitro diagnostic use only. The testing result is calibrated
to be plasma equivalent for test with fresh capillary whole blood samples from the fingertip, palm,
or forearm.
• The McKesson Quintet AC system is intended for self-testing or professional use. It should not be used
to diagnose diabetes mellitus.
• The McKesson Quintet AC system has not been validated for and should not be used on neonates.
• The McKesson Quintet AC blood glucose meter has not been tested for, and therefore should not be
used for, arterial blood testing.
• Keep the meter and strips away from moisture and liquids.
• Do not test if there is condensation (water build-up) on your meter. Move your meter and test strips to a
cool, dry spot and wait for the meter surface to dry before testing.
