1. Before You Start Testing

About the meter and test strips
• Carefully read and follow the instructions
in the User Instruction Guide and Package
Inserts for the test strips and control solutions.
It is very important to follow the instructions
in order to prevent an incorrect result or
improper treatment.
• The meter, test strips, and control solutions are
only for use outside the body (in vitro).
• Your new meter is designed for testing fresh
capillary whole blood samples (for example,
blood from your fingertip, palm, upper arm,
or forearm). Only use SD CodeFree™ test strips.
Other test strips will give inaccurate results.
• Do not use the SD CodeFree™ blood glucose
monitoring system for testing of serum or
plasma or arterial, venous whole blood.
• Inspect the container of test strips before using
them for the first time. If you see any damage
to the container cap or if anything prevents
the cap from closing properly, do not use the
test strips. Contact the SD Biosensor Customer
Care Service Center. Damaged test strips can
cause inaccurate results, which could lead to
improper treatment.
