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

immediately.

•If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual, and

you do not have any symptoms of illness, ﬁrst repeat the test. If you

have symptoms or continue to get results which are higher or lower

than usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare

professional.

•Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose.

Using other substances will lead to incorrect results.

•If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your

blood glucose test results and you have followed all the instructions

given in this owner’s manual, contact your healthcare professional.

•We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive

individuals or patients in shock. Readings which are lower than

actual values may occur for individuals experiencing a

hyperglycaemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.

Please consult the healthcare professional before use.

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 professionals

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).

This system is not intended for the diagnosis of or screening for

diabetes and is not intended to be used on neonates. Alternative site

testing (AST) in this system can be used only during steady-state blood

glucose conditions described in the section “about AST”.

This meter has some speaking functions but is not intended for use by

the visually impaired.

Test Principle

Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole blood.

The glucose testing is based on the measurement of electrical current

generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the strip. The

meter measures the current, calculates the blood glucose level, and

displays the result. The strength of the current produced by the

reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
