UNDERSTAND YOUR GLUCOSE READINGS Your glucose readings appear on the receiver's screen. It is important to understand your readings. HOME SCREEN INDICATOR AND DISPLAYS OVERVIEW Your glucose information (e.g. reading, glucose graph, trend arrow indicating rates and direction of glucose change, etc.) is displayed on your receiver’s screen. It is important to understand these indicators before use.
GLUCOSE TREND ARROW AND ARROW COLOR Direction Glucose is Glucose Glucose rising Glucose Glucose falling There are 5 different trend arrows reflecting your glucose readings and how fast they are changing. steady* rising** rapidly*** falling** rapidly*** The color (orange, amber, green, pink and red) of the arrow helps identify the risk of hypoglycaemia Arrow Color and hyperglycaemia.
ADD AND ACCESS NOTES 3. Select the options (carbs, insulin, exercise) and 1. From the Home screen, add a note by tapping follow the prompts to add a note. 4. Tap to save your notes. 2. Make sure the time is correct.
HIGH/LOW READINGS Mobile App: If HIGH appears on your display device screen, your glucose reading is above 500 mg/dL. Do a blood glucose test with a BG meter. If you also get a HIGH result (> 500 mg/dL) from the meter test, contact your healthcare practitioner immediately.
Receiver: CALIBRATION The calibration allows alignment between your system readings and your meter values. When the iFree CGMs needs to be calibrated (as shown in the table below), the display device will send a calibration alert. HIGH indicates the sensor reading is above the Required detection limit.
Page 43
When you calibrate, take a fingerstick measurement from your BG meter then enter the value according to the following steps: Mobile App: 2. Enter the exact BG value then press [OK]. 1. From the Calibrate screen, tap [Take fingertip glucose].
Page 44
Receiver: 3. You will see a prompt from the screen. Tap [OK]. 1. From the Calibrate screen, tap [Calibrate]. NOTE : Only a BG value between 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) and 500 mg/dL (27.8 mmol/L) can be used for calibration. If your BG value is significantly different from your sensor reading, it is recommended to calibrate again to avoid inaccurate readings.
CONNECTION AND DATA UPLOADING 3. You will see a prompt from the receiver. Tap Mobile App: [Yes]. The mobile App can automatically upload your monitoring results to the cloud via the Internet. NOTE : Refer to the original manual of your smartphone to learn how to set up a mobile network or Wi-Fi to Only a BG value between 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) connect to the Internet.
