The principle of the methodWhen glucose reacts with the reagents on the test strips, an electrical current is produced, which is proportional to the glucose concentration in the blood sample.The glucose concentration is calculated by the meter and based on the current measured.

1.Test strip slot - When the strip is inserted into the slot, the meter will automatically turn on.2. LCD Display - Guide you through the test using symbols and simple messages.3. M Key - Power ON/OFF, also for memory recalling mode, please refer to manual for detailed function description.4. C Key - Setting mode, please refer to manual for detailed function description.5.

*If your meter has the backlight feature, it will be on in every operation to increase the readability in operation, hence help the user to operate the meter more smoothly.

54. Alternate Site Testing (AST)What is AST?AST is the sampling from anatomical sites (parts of the body) other than the fingertip (i.e. forearm) to check the blood glucose levels. This system allows you to test on the forearm with the equivalent results to fingertip testing.There are important limitations to AST. Please consult your healthcare professional before you use AST.What is the advantage ?It is more painful feeling when taking blood sample from fingertips because fingertips have many nerve endings. Other body sites do not have as many nerve endings, so you will not feel as much pain as at the fingertip.When to use AST ?Medication, stress, illness, food and exercise can affect blood glucose levels. Capillary whole blood at the fingertip can reflect test changes faster than capillary blood at other sites of body. If you test your blood glucose level during or immediately after a meal, physical exercise or stressful events, take the blood sample from your fingertip instead of from other sites.Use AST only:1. 2 hours or more after taking insulin;2. 2 hours or more after a meal;3. 2 hours or more after exercise.Do not use AST if you are pregnant, or if you are aware that your glucose level is not as stable as usual, or if you think you have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).Do not use AST if you think your blood glucose is low and if your AST results do not match the way you feel.

6 Testing Procedure for AST1.Please unscrew the lancing device by turning the end cap counter clockwise. A clear cap will come with the package of a meter kit or a lancing device. The clear cap on the lancing device will make it easy for you to get a drop of blood forAST.2.Insert a new lancet firmly into the lancet holder.3.Twist off the protective top of the lancet.4.Close the end cap of the lancing device and grasp the lancing device as shown. Slide into locking position. If necessary, please set the lancing device for a deeper puncture. 5.Select a soft, fleshy area on your forearm that is clean and dry, awayfrom bone and free of visible veinsand hair. 12345

6.Massage the selected area gentlyto increase blood flow to the puncture site. Clean the test locationwith an alcohol wipe or with soapand water. 7.O pen the test strip vial. Take one new test strip out of the vial and quickly recap the vial to keep air out.8.Insert the test strip into the meter while the meter is off. The meter will turn on automatically. A blinking blood icon will be displayed on the screen. If no action is taken in 2 minutes, the meter will turn off automatically.9.Press and hold the loaded lancing device against the forearm for a few seconds, then press and release the button.6789

Forindividuals who experience difficulty in getting sufficient blood for a test, it may be helpful to rub the puncture site a little longer before using the lancing device.11. Apply your blood to the front edge (the tip) of the test strip, and the meter will start counting down for 5 seconds then display the test results on the screen. 12. Remove the used strip by hand or by pushing the ejector button. The meter will turn off automatically.
