Blood Glucose Monitoring System
Owner’s Manual

Dear ANKOVO System Owner:
Thank you for purchasing the ANKOVO Blood Glucose Monitoring
System. This manual provides important information to help you to
use the system properly. Before using this product, please read the
following contents thoroughly and carefully.
Regular monitoring of your blood glucose levels can help you and
your doctor gain better control of your diabetes. Due to its compact
size and easy operation, you can use the ANKOVO Blood Glucose
Monitoring System to easily monitor your blood glucose levels by
yourself anywhere, any time.
If you have other questions regarding this product, please contact
the local customer service or place of purchase.
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 capillary whole
blood samples from the finger, palm, forearm and upper arm.
It should not be used for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes.

Test Principle
Your system measures the amount of 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 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.

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. Please consult the healthcare
professional before use.
The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of
blood or plasma glucose can either have a weight dimension (mg/
dL) or a molarity (mmol/L). The approximate calculation rule for
conversion of mg/dL in mmol/L is:
mg/dL
Divided by 18
= mmol/L
mmoL/L
Times 18
= mg/dL
For example:
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.
