The principle of the method
When glucose reacts with the reagents on the test strips, an electrical current
is produced, which is proportional to the glucose concentration in the blood sample.
The glucose concentration is calculated by the meter and based on the current measured.
1.Test strip slot - When the strip is inserted into the
slot, the meter will automatically turn on.
2. LCD Display - Guide you through the test using
symbols and simple messages.
3. M Key - Power ON/OFF, also for memory recalling

4. Alternate Site Testing (AST)
What is AST?
AST is the sampling from anatomical sites (parts of the body)
other than the fingertip (i.e. palm) to check the blood
glucose levels. This system allows you to test on the palm
with the equivalent results to fingertip testing.
There are important limitations to AST. Please consult your
healthcare professional before you use AST.
What is the advantage ?
Some patients may encounter discomfort when taking a blood
sample from the fingertip as the finger tips have a high
concentration of nerve endings. Other body sites do not have
as many nerve endings, so you will not feel as much pain as at
the fingertip.
When to use AST ?
Medication, stress, illness, food and exercise can affect blood
glucose levels. Capillary whole blood at the fingertip can reflect
test changes faster than capillary blood at other sites of body. If
you test your blood glucose level during or immediately after
a meal, physical exercise or stressful events, take the other
sites of the body blood sample from your fingertip instead of
from other sites.
Use AST only:
1. 2 hours or more after taking insulin;
2. 2 hours or more after a meal;
3. 2 hours or more after exercise.
Do not use AST if you are pregnant, or if you are aware that
your glucose level is not as stable as usual, or if you think
you have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia
(high blood sugar).
Do not use AST if you think your blood glucose is low and if
your AST results do not match the way you feel.

IMPORTANT!!!
1. You must press the C key to distinguish the control solution
test from the blood glucose test. Do not perform the blood test
in Control Solution mode.(If you perform the blood test in
Control Solution mode, the test result will not be stored in the
memory.)
2. Use only SuperCheck2 Control Solution with Avital 6276
Glucose Meter.
3. SuperCheck2 Control Solutions are used to check that the
meter and the test strips are working together as a system and
that you are performing the test correctly.
4. SuperCheck2 Control Solution contains a known amount of
glucose that reacts with test strips. The Medium and High level
Control Solution are intended to check the monitoring system
in different measurement ranges.
5. Shake the vial, discard the first drop of control solution, and
wipe off the dispenser tip to ensure a good sample and an
accurate result.
6. Use only for 3 months after first opening. Record the open
date on the Control Solution vial. Discard after 3 months.
7. Compare your Control Solution test results with the expected
range printed on the test strip vial label. If your glucose control
results fall outside the expected range; repeat the test. Results
that repeatedly fall outside the expected range may indicate:
(1)You may not be doing the test correctly; repeat the test, by
shaking the control solution vial well and carefully following
instructions. Please make sure the test is done within the
temperature range.
(2)The Control Solution is expired or contaminated.
(3)The test strips are damaged or outdated.
(4)You may have applied the Control Solution before the
blood drop appears on the screen. This will cause incorrect
glucose measurement.
(5)Meter malfunction.
8.The recommend temperature range for control solution test
is 68-86℉ (20-30℃). Always allow at least thirty (30) minutes
to let meter, test strip and control solution adjust to the stable
temperature before performing a control test. 16
