    Dear EasyMax N SMBG System Owner, Thank you for using the EasyMax N Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) System. We designed this system to be dependable, easy-to-use, compact, lightweight and portable to help you monitor your blood glucose on a regular basis.
  • Page 3 Standard Accessories Your new EasyMax N Blood Glucose meter and accessories work together to measure the amount of glucose in your blood. The system includes: • Blood Glucose Meter • Lancet x 5 ct. • Test Strip x 10 ct.
  • Page 4 Note: Although the EasyMax N SMBG System is easy to use, you may need to consult your healthcare professional (this may be your doctor, pharmacist or diabetes nurse educator) for instructions on how to use the system. Only the correct use of the system will ensure accurate results.
  • Page 5 The meter is for outside the body (in vitro) use. It should not be used to diagnose diabetes. Only use EasyMax N blood glucose meter with EasyMax N Blood Glucose Test Strips. Other test strips will give inaccurate results.
  • Page 6 Remove batteries if the meter will not be used for one month or more. Warning for potential biohazard: Healthcare professionals using this system on multiple patients should be aware that all products or objects that come in contact with human blood, even after cleaning, should be handled as if capable of transmitting viral disease.

If you think you are dehydrated, call your doctor right away. If you have followed the steps in the user’s manual, but still have symptoms that don’t seem to match your test results, or if you have questions, please talk to your doctor.
