Important Information: Read This First!
For optimum benefits, please read the entire manual contents
before using the system.
The following chart explains the symbols you’ll find in the
First Canadian Health SPIRIT User Manual, product packaging,
and product inserts.
Intended Use:
First Canadian Health SPIRIT Blood Glucose Monitoring System
is used for the quantitative measurement of the glucose level
in capillary whole blood as an aid in monitoring diabetes
management effectively at home or in clinical settings.
First Canadian Health SPIRIT Blood Glucose Monitoring
System should be used only for self-testing outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use only). First Canadian Health SPIRIT
Blood Glucose Monitoring System should not be used for the
diagnosis of diabetes or for testing newborns. Testing sites
include the traditional fingertip testing along with alternate
sites testing on forearm, palm, thigh and calf.
• The First Canadian Health SPIRIT Blood Glucose Monitoring
System is intended for self-testing outside the body (in vitro
diagnostic use).
• Glucose in blood samples reacts with the chemical in the test
strip to produce a small electrical current. The First Canadian
Health SPIRIT meter detects this electrical current and
measures the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
• The
First Canadian Health SPIRIT Blood Glucose Meter is
designed to minimize code related errors in monitoring by
using the no-coding function.
• The
First Canadian Health SPIRIT Blood Glucose Meter should
be used only with the
First Canadian Health SPIRIT Test Strips.
• An abnormally high or low red blood cell count (hematocrit
level over 60% or below 20%) may produce inaccurate results.
• If your test result is below 3.3 mmol/L or above 13.3 mmol/L,
consult a healthcare professional immediately.
• Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive
individuals or patients in shock. Inaccurate low results
may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycemic
hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill
patients should not be tested with blood glucose meters.
• Inaccurate results may occur in patients undergoing oxygen
therapy.

Checking the System
You may check your meter and test strips using
the First Canadian Health SPIRIT Control Solution
(control A and/or B). The First Canadian Health
SPIRIT Control Solution contains a known amount of
glucose and is used to check that the meter and the
test strips are working properly. The test strip vials
have First Canadian Health SPIRIT Control Solution
ranges printed on their labels. Compare the result
displayed on the meter to the First Canadian Health
SPIRIT Control Solution range printed on the test
strip vial. Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips,
you may conduct a control solution test following the procedure
on pages 20 ~ 21.
Notes:
• Use only the First Canadian Health SPIRIT Control Solution.
• Check the expiration dates printed on the bottle. When you
first open a control solution bottle, record the discard date
(date opened plus 3 months) in the space provided on the
label.
• Make sure your meter, test strips, and control solution are at
room temperature before testing. Control solution tests must
be done at room temperature (20 ~ 25°C, 68 ~ 77°F).
• Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard
the first few drops and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a
temperature of 8 ~ 30°C (46 ~ 86°F).
You may do a control solution test:
• When you want to practice the test procedure using the
control solution instead of blood,
• When using the meter for the first time,
Note: At any stage, if the Sbutton is pressed for 3 seconds,
setting mode will finish and the meter will be turned off. Press
and hold to scroll through numbers quickly.
Step 9 Setting the ‘Test Result Reset’

• If your symptoms are inconsistent with the blood glucose
test results and you feel that the meter or test strips are not
working properly,
• If you drop or damage the meter.
Step 2
Shake the Control Solution bottle
before each test. Remove the cap
and squeeze the bottle to discard
the first drop.
Then wipe the tip with a clean
tissue or cloth. Dispense a drop
of control solution onto a clean
non-absorbent surface. It helps to
squeeze a drop onto the top of the cap as shown. After the
symbol appears on the display, apply the solution to the
narrow edge of the test strip until the meter beeps. Make sure

on the screen. If the meter turns off, remove the strip, reinsert,
and start from step 1.

22 www.arapharma.com www.arapharma.com 23
Comparing the Control Solution Test Results
The test result of each control solution should be within the
range printed on the label of test strip vial. Repeat the control
solution test if the test result falls outside of this range. Out of
range results may occur in the following factors:
If results continue to fall outside the range printed on the
test strip vial, the test strip and meter may not be working
properly. Do not use your system and contact First Canadian
Health sales representative.
• When the control solution bottle was not
shaken well,
• When the meter, test strip, or the control
solution were exposed to high or low
temperatures,
• When the first drop of the control solution
was not discarded or the tip of the bottle
was not wiped clean,
•
When the meter is not functioning properly.
• When the control solution is past the
expiration date printed on the bottle,
• When the control solution is past its
discard date (the date the bottle was
opened plus three (3) months),
• When the control solution is contaminated.
Situations Do This
Repeat the
control solution
test by referring
to the “Notes” on
page 19.
Discard the used
control solution

Alternative Site Testing
What is AST(Alternative Site Testing)?
Usually, we take the blood sample from the tip of the finger.
However, since there are many nerve endings in the fingertip, it
can be quite painful. When doing a glucose test, using different
parts of the body such as the arms, palms, thighs, and calves
can reduce the pain during testing. This method of testing with
different parts of the body is called Alternative Site Testing. While
AST may reduce the pain during testing, it may not be simple
for everyone and the following precautions should be observed
during testing.
Alternative Site Blood Sampling (forearm, palm, thigh, calf)
Select a clean, soft and fleshy sample site area free of visible
veins and hair and away from bones. Gently massage the
sample site to help blood circulation to minimize result
differences between fingertip and alternative site sampling.
Firmly press and hold the lancing device against site. Wait
until the skin surface under the lancing device changes color.
Then press the release button while continuing to apply
pressure. Keep holding the lancing device against your skin
until sufficient (at least 0.5 μL, actual size: ) blood is drawn.
Carefully lift the lancing device away from your skin.
Alternative Sites for Testing
Things To Know When Using AST
Please read the following before testing at alternative sites
(forearms, palms, thighs, and calves).
The capillary whole blood of the fingertips reflects changes in
glucose levels more rapidly than in alternative sites. The test
results from the fingertip testing and AST may differ due to
factors such as lifestyle and ingested food which affect glucose
levels.
Acceptable Situations for AST
When your blood glucose levels are stable
• Fasting period
• Before a meal
• Before going to bed
Situations Requiring Fingertip Test
When your blood glucose levels are unstable
• During the two (2) hours after a meal or exercise
• When sick or when glucose levels seem quite lower than
test value
• When hypoglycemia is not well recognized
• When insulin has the biggest effect
• During two (2) hours after an insulin injection

32 www.arapharma.com www.arapharma.com 33
AST Precautions
• Do not ignore the symptoms of hyperglycemia or
hypoglycemia.
• When the results of the test do not reflect your opinion, retest
using the fingertip test. If the fingertip result still does not reflect
the way you feel, please consult your healthcare professional.
• Do not rely on the AST results for changing your treatment
method.
• The amount of glucose in alternative sites differs from person
to person.
• Before using AST, please consult your healthcare professional.
Note:
• Results from alternative site and fingertip samples may differ
from each other as there is a time lag for the glucose levels to
reach the same value. Use a fingertip for testing if you suffer
from hypoglycemia or have experienced hypoglycemic shock
or symptoms.
• If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact
with hair or with a line in your palm, do not use that sample.
Try puncturing again in a smoother area.
HI and Lo Messages
HI Message
The meter displays results between 1.1 ~ 33.3
mmol/L. "HI" appears when the blood glucose
level is greater than 33.3 mmol/L and indicates
