2. Special Information for Healthcare
Providers and Carers
• Do not use this device to measure blood
glucose in people who are experiencing
cardiovascular collapse (severe shock) or
decreased peripheral blood flow.

blood that is red blood cells) that is either very
high (above 60%) or very low (below 20%) can

3. Indications for use (Purpose of the
device)
Your new SD CodeFree™ meter and accessories
work together to measure the amount of
glucose (sugar) in your blood.
Your SD CodeFree™ blood glucose monitoring
system is designed to measure the level of
glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples
drawn from the fingertip, palm, forearm or
upper arm. Your SD CodeFree™ meter must
only be used with SD CodeFree™ blood
glucose test strips. Testing is done outside
the body (in-vitro diagnostic use). This system
is indicated for home use (OTC or over-the-
counter) by those with diabetes, or in a clinical
setting, by healthcare professionals, as an
aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes
control. This system should not be used for the
diagnosis of diabetes or for testing newborn
babies. When you put a drop of blood onto the
test strip, the meter displays a blood glucose
result in five seconds. Testing your blood
glucose regularly can make a big difference
