Unpack your AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ Blood Glucose
Monitoring System. Dispose of the packing material properly.
IMPORTANT: To ensure accurate use of meter, verify the
time, date and units of measure.
For step-by-step instructions on changing the time and date
settings, please refer to chapters 13 and 14.

CHAPTER
Please Read the Following:
[1] Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive indi-
viduals or patients in shock. Inaccurate low results may occur
for individuals experiencing a hyperglycaemic-hyperosmolar
state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients should not
be tested with blood glucose meters.
[2] Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may yield
inaccurate results. If you believe you are suffering from severe
dehydration, consult your healthcare professional immediately.
[3] Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may receive
inaccurate results.
[4] Results below 3.9 mmol/L may mean low blood glucose
levels (hypoglycaemia).
Important Health-related
Information
2
CHAPTER

5
[5] Results over 13.3 mmol/L may mean high blood glucose
levels (hyperglycaemia). Checking ketones may be advisable.
[6] If you get results below 3.9 mmol/L or above 13.3 mmol/L
and do not have symptoms of hypoglycaemia or hypergly-
caemia, repeat the test. If you have symptoms, or continue to
get results below 3.9 mmol/L or above 13.3 mmol/L, follow
the treatment plan recommended by your healthcare team or
contact your healthcare professional immediately.
[7] If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent
with your blood glucose test and you have followed all
instructions described in the AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ
Owner’s Guide, follow your healthcare professional’s recom-
mendations.
[8] Do not use test strips that are expired or appear to be
damaged as they may return inaccurate results.
[9] Healthcare professionals should follow their institution’s
infection control protocols.
[10] Always follow your healthcare professional’s
recommendations.
The AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ System should be used:
[1] For measuring blood glucose levels from fresh capillary
whole blood samples taken from the fingertip, palms (at the
base of the thumb), or forearms.
Important Information about
Your AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ System

CHAPTER

6
[2] For in vitro diagnostic (i.e. outside of the body) use only.
[3] With AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ Test Strips and AgaMatrix
Control Solution only. Do not use other brands of test strips and
control solution with this meter. This may produce inaccurate
results.
[4] For use at home (over the counter (OTC)) by persons with
diabetes, or in a clinical setting by healthcare professionals, as
an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.
Do not use the AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ System for:
[1] The diagnosis of diabetes.
[2] Testing the glucose levels of neonates (children under 4
weeks).
[3] Testing glucose levels of arterial or venous blood.
[4] Testing glucose from sites other than the fingertip, palm
(at the base of the thumb), or forearm.
Possible test sites:
The AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ System requires only 0.5 μL
of blood to perform a glucose test. For best results, test using
blood from the tip of any finger. The palm (at the base of the
thumb) and forearm are alternate, but less accurate test sites.
Only select soft and fleshy areas to lance. Avoid lancing any
bony areas, obvious veins and moles.

7
Physiological differences
in circulation between the
fingertip, palm (at the base
of the thumb), and forearm
may result in differences in
blood glucose measurements
between these sites.
Differences in glucose
concentrations may be observed after eating,
taking insulin medication, or exercise. Changes
in blood glucose may be detected at the
fingertips before the palm (at the base of the
thumb) and forearm.
It is recommended that you use a ngertip sample if:
[1] You are testing for hypoglycaemia or if you suffer from
hypoglycaemia unawareness,
[2] You are testing your blood glucose within 2 hours of
eating, taking insulin or medication, exercising, or
[3] Your blood glucose results obtained from the palm (at the
base of the thumb) or forearm are not consistent with the way
you feel.
CAUTION: Please read all the instructions provided in this
Owner’s Guide and practice the testing procedures before
using the AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ Blood Glucose
Monitoring System. Blood glucose monitoring should be
done under the guidance of your healthcare professional.

About the AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ Test Strip
With your AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ System, you can
test your blood glucose on your fingertips, palms (at the
base of the thumb) or forearms. Testing with the AgaMatrix
WaveSense JAZZ System requires a small sample size, 0.5 μL
of blood, about the size of
a pinhead.
CAUTION: Dispose used
test strips properly.
IMPORTANT: Use
AgaMatrix WaveSense
JAZZ Test Strips only
once.
Contact Bars:
Insert this end,
facing up, into the
meter’s test strip port.
Visual Fill Window:
The window will turn
red when enough
blood has been applied
or blue when enough
control solution has
been applied.
Sample Area:
Apply blood or control solution to the
tip of the test strip here.

The AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ System has 2 different levels
of control solution: Normal and High. Select the level of
control solution you want to use.
The control solution is used to:
[1] Ensure that your AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ Meter and
Test Strips are working together properly.
[2] Practice testing without having to use your own blood.
Control solution tests should be performed when you:
[1] First get your meter.
[2] Suspect that your meter or test strips are not working
properly.
[3] Think your test results are not accurate.
[4] Have dropped or damaged your meter or exposed your
meter to liquids.
[5] Are advised by your healthcare professional to do so.
Control solution should only be used for 90 days after first
opening the bottle or until the expiration date printed on the
label, whichever comes first.
