I. Introduction Thank you for using the smartLAB mini Self-Monitoring Blood Glu- ® cose System. This system was produced in close association with di- abetes health care professionals, hospitals and, most importantly, people with diabetes. The measuring results can help you determine the effects of food, exercise and diabetes medications.
Measuring principle The smartLAB mini Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose System is de- ® signed to allow rapid measurement of blood glucose by using an electrochemical biosensor technology. This system employs a dis- posable dry reagent strip technology, based on the glucose oxidase method for glucose determination.
Important information • Severe impact may cause the meter to malfunction. Do not disas- semble the meter as it may damage components inside and cause an incorrect reading. The warranty will be void if the meter has been disassembled. • Incorrect results may occur when performing the test. If you be- lieve you are not feeling well, please contact your healthcare pro- fessional immediately.

III. Setup & Operating procedures Installing batteries The meter uses two CR 2032 3V Lithium batteries. Batteries will normally last for aprox. 3000 tests. Other types of CR 3V lithium batteries are also acceptable, yet Low battery symbol the capacity of test times may differ. In- stall the batteries when you first use the meter or replace with new batteries when the “LP”...
Function check You can carry out a function check with the Check Strip which is included in your meter set. You do not have to do the function check before every measurement. It helps you to control if your smartLAB ®...
Notes on using smartLAB pro blood glucose test strips ® • Use only with smartLAB ® blood glucose self-monitoring systems. • Keep the test strips in their original vial. • Close the vial tightly right after you take out a test strip. This keeps the test strips dry.
Note on smartLAB „NO CODE“-test strips ® The smartLAB pro blood glucose test strips compatible with ® smartLAB glucose meters need not to be coded, any more. Thus, ® when inserting a test strip, the display will read „Code 888“. That is because all test strip charges only use this code.
Running a blood glucose test 1. Preparations Before running a blood glucose test, make yourself acquaint with the test strips and the lancing device. Keep all required ma- terials ready for use: your smartLAB ® mini meter, the smartLAB ® pro test strips and smartLAB lancing device includ-...

4. Blood glucose measurement Hold the application zone of the test strip vertically onto the blood sample. The blood is automatically sucked in the reaction zone of the test strip. Be sure to get enough blood on the strip’s reaction zone, otherwise, an inaccurate reading may result.
Alternate Site Testing (AST) with the transparent cap You can also gain the blood sample from other parts of the body than the finger tip. If you want to use Alternate Site Test- ing, please use the transparent cap for your lancing device. Car- ry out the following steps: •...
Reading stored test results from memory You can read the last 20 test results on the internal memory of your smartLAB ® mini meter by inserting the check strip. The results will be shown chronologically on the display. Understanding your test results The smartLAB pro blood glucose test strips are whole-blood ref- ®...

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, test your blood glu- cose. If your blood glucose result is displayed as LO or HI and you have symptoms of low or high blood glucose, contact your doctor immediately. If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel, follow the steps under „Unusual Test Results.“...
Control solution testing Running a control test lets you know that your meter and test strips are working properly to give reliable results. You should run a con- trol test when: • You use the smartLAB ® mini blood glucose meter for the first time. •...

close the bottle immediately. Hold the application/reaction zone of the test strip vertically onto the drop of control solution. The con- trol solution is automatically sucked in the reaction zone of the test strip. The signal tone indicates that enough blood entered the re- action zone.

Problem Solution Was the test strip exposed to open air for Repeat the control test with properly a long period of time? stored strips. Was the test strip vial capped tightly? This will humidify strips inside. Replace the test strips. Does the meter work properly? You can use the check strip to verify the meter’s functions.
IV. Miscellaneous Maintenance Your smartLAB mini blood glucose meter does not require any spe- ® cial cleaning. Just keep the meter free of dirt, dust, blood- and water stains. Following these guidelines carefully will help you get- ting the best performance possible: Gently wipe the meter‘s surface with a soft cloth Do not get any moisture in the test strip slot.
Troubleshooting Note: If you are not sure how to react on error codes, please con- tact your local supplier. Battery empty Display: „LP“ & „Battery symbol “ Solution: Replace with new batteries. System error Display: „001 Error “ Solution: Replace batteries first. If the error still occurs, please contact your local supplier.

Memory error Display: „005 Error“ Solution: Replace batteries first. If “Err”still oc- curs, please contact your local supplier. Test strip already used or wet Display: „Err“ & „Test strip symbol“ Solution: Use a new test strip. Temperature too high Display: „Ht“ & „Thermometer symbol“ The operating temperature is too high (above the required temperature range from 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F)).
Page 30
Temperature too low Display: „Lt“ & „Thermometer symbol“ The operating temperature is too low (below the required temperature range from 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F)). The error is a warning that a continuation under these conditions might lead to wrong blood glucose readings. Solution: Take the meter to a location with ap- propriate working temperature and wait for the next measurement until the error does not oc-...
Limitations of the measurement procedure 1. DO NOT use serum or plasma sample. 2. DO NOT use neonate blood sample. 3. Extreme humidity may affect the results. A relative humidity greater than 90% may cause incorrect results. 4. The System is designed to be used at temperatures between 10°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F).

9. Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may have inaccurate results. 10. Altitude up to 3050 meters above sea level has no effect on readings. 11. Test results may be false if the patient is severely dehydrated or severely hypertensive, in shock, or in hypoglycemic-hyperosmo- lar state (with or without ketosis).
