BEFORE YOU BEGIN Important Information Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings which are lower than actual values. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional im- mediately. If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual, and you do not have symptoms of illness, first repeat the test.
Intended Use This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by health care profes- sionals in clinical settings as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples (from the finger, palm, forearm, upper arm, calf and thigh).

2. Press to mark this test as a control solu- tion test With “QC” displays, the meter will not store your test result in memory. If you press again, the “QC” will disappear and this test is no longer a control solution test.
Page 21
4. Read and Compare the Result After counting down to 0, the test result of control solution will appear on the display. Compare this result with the range printed on the test strip vial and it should fall within this range. If not, please read instructions again and repeat the control solution test.
TESTING WITH BLOOD SAMPLE Overview of the Lancing Device Lancet Holder Cocking Control Release Button Depth Indicator A Clear Cap Arrow Adjustable Tip If your lancing device differs from the one shown here, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual to ensure proper usage. NOTE To reduce the chance of infection: Never share a lancet or the lancing device.
Setting Up the Lancing Device Screw off the cap of the lancing device. Insert a lancet into the lancet holder and push down firmly until it is fully in place. Twist the protective disk until it separates from the lancet. Replace the lancing device cap.
Preparing the Puncture Site Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site prior to blood extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value obtained. Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a measurably different glucose concentration than blood from the finger. When the puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference was significantly reduced.
Fingertip testing Hold the lancing device firmly against the side of your finger. Press the release button. You will hear a click, indicating that the puncture is complete. Blood from sites other than the fingertip A clear cap, together with the kit, makes it easier to get a drop of blood for AST.
Alternative Site Testing IMPORTANT: There are limitations with AST (Alternative Site Testing). Please consult your health care professional before you per- form AST. What is AST? Alternative site testing (AST) means that people use parts of the body other than the fingertips to check their blood glucose levels.
Page 27
We strongly recommend you perform AST ONLY at the following times: In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal). Two hours or more after taking insulin. Two hours or more after exercise. Do NOT use AST if: You think your blood glucose is low.
Performing a Blood Glucose Test 1. Insert the test strip to turn on the meter Wait for the meter to display the test strip and blood drop symbol. 2. Select the appropriate measurement mode by pressing For selecting the measurement mode of AC, PC, or Gen, please refer to the “THE FOUR MEASURING MODES”...

DETAILED INFORMATION Reference Values Blood glucose monitoring plays an important role in diabetes control. A long-term study showed that maintaining blood glucose levels close to normal can reduce the risk of diabetes complications by up to 60%* . The results provided by this system can help you and your healthcare professional monitor and adjust your treatment plan to gain better control of your diabetes.
Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results The meter provides you with whole blood equivalent results. The result you obtain from your meter may differ somewhat from your laboratory result due to normal variation. Meter results can be af- fected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way.
Page 44
You may still have a variation from the result because blood glucose levels can change significantly over short periods of time, espe- cially if you have recently eaten , exercised, taken medication, or experienced stress* . In addition, if you have eaten recently, the blood glucose level from a finger prick can be up to 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) higher than blood drawn from a vein (venous sample) used for a lab test*...
