the high cost of testing can make this impossible. At ACON, our goal is to provide
high quality glucose monitoring at a price that allows you to test as often as
necessary. Together, we can better manage your diabetes and help you live a
longer and healthier life.
Welcome, and thank you for choosing the On Call®Vivid Blood Glucose
Monitoring System. The On Call®Vivid Blood Glucose Monitoring System will
give you accurate blood glucose results, from adult and neonatal capillary whole
blood samples, in just a few simple steps.
To ensure accurate results from your On Call®Vivid Blood Glucose Monitoring
System, please follow these guidelines:
•Read instructions before use.
•Use only On Call®Vivid Blood Glucose Test Strips with the On Call®Vivid
Blood Glucose Meter.
•For in vitro diagnostic use only. Your blood glucose monitoring system is to be
used only outside the body for monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control.
It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes.

Getting Started
Before testing, read the instructions carefully and learn about all the components of
your On Call®Vivid Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Depending on the On Call®
Vivid product you purchased, some of the components may need to be purchased
separately. Please check the list of contents on the outer box for details on which
components are included with your purchase.

Component Descriptions
1. Blood Glucose Meter: Reads the test strips and displays the blood glucose
concentration.
2. Test Strips: Strips with a chemical reagent system used with the meter to
measure glucose concentration in blood.
3. Lancing Device: Used with sterile lancets to prick the fingertip, palm (at the
base of the thumb) or forearm for blood sample collection. The packaged
lancing device has multiple depth settings, allowing users to adjust the depth
of the puncture and minimize discomfort. It can also eject the used lancets.
4. Clear Cap: Used with the lancing device and sterile lancet to draw a blood
sample from the forearm and palm.
5. Sterile Lancets: Used with the lancing device to draw a blood sample. Sterile
lancets are inserted into the lancing device with each blood draw and
discarded after use.
6. Control Solution: Verifies the proper operation of the blood glucose monitoring
system by checking the test strips and meter against a pre-calibrated control
solution. Control Solution 1 is all you need most of the time. If you want to do
additional levels of tests, Control Solution 0 and Control Solution 2 are also
available. The Three levels of control solution, Control Solution 0, Control 1
and Control 2, are available in the On Call®Vivid Glucose Control Solution
package which is sold separately.
7. Carrying Case: Provides portability for blood glucose testing wherever you go.
8. User's Manual: Provides detailed instructions on using the blood glucose
monitoring system.
9. Quick Reference Guide: Provides a brief overview of the blood glucose
monitoring system and testing procedures. This small guide can be kept in
your carrying case.
10. Warranty Card: Should be completed and returned to the distributor to qualify
for the 5-year meter warranty.

Battery Symbol: Warns when you should replace the battery.
Blood Drop / Strip Symbol: Wait for the Blood Drop / Strip Symbol to appear
before applying the sample.These two symbols appear at the same time.
Pound Sign (#): Appears with the control solution test result or when you mark an
invalid result to prevent it from being included in the average.

Meter Use and Precautions
•Wait for the Blood Drop / Strip Symbol to appear before applying the sample.
•The meter is pre-set to display blood glucose concentration in either millimoles
per liter (mmol/L) or milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) depending on which unit of
measure is standard in your country. This unit of measure cannot be adjusted.
•Meter will shut off automatically 2 minutes after inactivity.
•Do not get water or other liquids inside the meter.
•Keep the strip port area clean.
•Keep your meter dry and avoid exposing it to extreme in temperature or
humidity. Do not leave it in your car.
•Do not drop the meter or get it wet. If you do drop the meter or get it wet, check
the meter by running a quality control test. Refer to Quality Control Test on
page 18 for instructions.
•Do not take the meter apart. Taking the meter apart will void the warranty.
•Refer to the Caring for Your Meter section on page 36 for details on cleaning
the meter.
•Keep the meter and all associated parts out of reach of children.
Note:Follow proper precautions and all local regulations when disposing of the
meter and used batteries.

•This instrument is tested for immunity to electrostatic discharge as specified in
IEC 61000-4-2. However, use of this instrument in a dry environment,
especially if synthetic materials are present (synthetic clothing, carpets, etc.)
may cause damaging static discharges that may cause erroneous results.
•This instrument complies with the emission and immunity requirements
described in EN61326-1 and EN61326-2-6. Do not use this instrument in close
proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic radiation, as these may
interfere with proper operation of the meter.
•For professional use, the electromagnetic environment should be evaluated
prior to operation of this device.

On Call®Vivid Blood Glucose Test Strips
The On Call®Vivid Blood Glucose Test Strips are thin strips with a chemical
reagent which work with the On Call®Vivid Blood Glucose Meter to measure the
glucose concentration in whole blood. After the strip is inserted into the meter,
blood is applied to the sample tip of the test strip. The blood is then automatically
absorbed into the reaction cell where the reaction takes place. A transient electrical
current is formed during the reaction and the blood glucose concentration is
calculated based on the electrical current detected by the meter. The result is shown
on the meter display. The meter is calibrated to display plasma equivalent results.
IMPORTANT: Apply sample only to the sample tip of the test strip. Do not apply
blood or control solution to the top of the test strip as this may result in an
inaccurate reading.
Hold the blood drop to the sample tip of
the test strip until the check window is
completely full and until the meter begins
to count down. If you applied blood but
do not see the starting of the count down,
you may reapply a second drop of blood
within 3 seconds. If the check window
does not fill and the meter starts to count
down, then do not add more blood to the
test strip. If you do then you may get an
E-5 message or an inaccurate test result.
In this case if the meter begins to count
down and the check window does not fill,
discard the strip and begin the test again
with a new test strip.
