Chapter 1 BeneCheck PLUS Multi-Monitoring System
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing BeneCheck PLUS Multi-Monitoring System. The BeneCheck
PLUS Multi-Monitoring System is designed by General Life Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
and marketed all over the world.
The BeneCheck PLUS Multi-Monitoring System provides you with accurate,
plasma-calibrated results based on electrochemical sensor technology. This
system includes blood glucose, uric acid and total cholesterol level tests, precisely
measured and displayed within 10, 15 and 30-40 seconds respectively.
Intended Use :
The BeneCheck PLUS Multi-Monitoring System is designed to measure the blood
glucose, uric acid or total cholesterol levels in whole blood. The test strips are
for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use). It should be used only
for testing glucose, uric acid or total cholesterol with fresh capillary nger blood
samples. The system is suitable for users to monitor their blood glucose, uric
acid or total cholesterol at home by themselves and be used for clinical sites by
healthcare professionals to test the blood glucose, uric acid or total cholesterol
levels of patients.

The BeneCheck PLUS Multi-Monitoring System includes glucose, uric acid, and
total cholesterol tests which are all calibrated by J&J DT60 Analyzer (Kodak
EKTACHEM DT60 Analyzer) using venous plasma. The DT60 Analyzer is calibrated
by VITROS DT calibrators which were referenced to the following standard and
method :
Test Standard Method
Glucose NIST SRM 917b AACC/CDC (Hexokinase/G6PDH)
Uric Acid NIST SRM 913a Uricase/UV
Total Cholesterol NIST SRM 911b Abell/Kendall
Please read the entire USER’S MANUAL carefully before using the BeneCheck PLUS
Multi-Monitoring system to test your blood glucose, uric acid or total cholesterol
levels. This USER’S MANUAL guides you through the operation procedures with
illustrated directions and help you nd the required information.

2.3 Coding the Meter
The BeneCheck PLUS meter should be coded before testing with BeneCheck
PLUS test strips for the rst time, or every time a new box of BeneCheck PLUS
test strips are used. There are three kinds of test strips which can be used with
BeneCheck PLUS meter. Each vial of the test strips has assigned a code number
and test mode. The code strip is packaged with the test strip in order to calibrate/
code the meter. Every time a test strip is inserted, please check the code number
and test mode appearing on the Screen is the same as the code number and test
mode marked on the code strip and test strip vial.
Directions :
For Glucose Test Mode
1.
Check the code number and test mode on the code strip is
the same as the code number and test mode on the glucose
test strip vial, and check the test mode of the strip.

16
2. Insert a code strip into the test port of the meter.
Wait for the code number to appear on the screen.
3.
Make sure the code number on the screen is the same as
the code number on the code strip, and the test mode is
also the same as marked on the test vial.
Remove the code strip. “ ” should appear on the screen,
indicating that the meter has been successfully coded to
glucose test mode.
For Uric Acid Test Mode
Follow the same procedures of 1 to 3 described in glucose test mode .
4.
Make sure to check that the code number and test mode on
the code strip are the same as the code number and test
mode on the uric acid test strip vial.
Remove the code strip. “ ” should appear on the screen,
indicating that the meter has been successfully coded to uric
acid test mode.

Make sure the code number on the screen is the same as
the code number on the code strip, and the test mode is
also the same as marked on the test vial.
Remove the code strip. “ ” should appear on the screen,
indicating that the meter has been successfully coded to
glucose test mode.
For Uric Acid Test Mode
Follow the same procedures of 1 to 3 described in glucose test mode .
4.
Make sure to check that the code number and test mode on
the code strip are the same as the code number and test
mode on the uric acid test strip vial.
Remove the code strip. “ ” should appear on the screen,
indicating that the meter has been successfully coded to uric
acid test mode.
For Total Cholesterol Test Mode
Following the same procedures of 1 to 3 described in glucose test mode .
5.
Make sure to check the code number and test mode on the
code strip is the same as the code number and test mode on
the total cholesterol test strip vial.
Remove the code strip. “ ” should appear on the screen,
indicating that the meter has been successfully coded to
total cholesterol test mode.
Cautions :
If “E-E” appears on the Screen during coding procedure, there may
be a problem with the code strip or a wrong category code strip
may be misused. Perform the coding procedures again, and if “E-E”
