Getting to know your instrument
The GL44 blood glucose monitor is intended for fast and simple blood glucose measurement of
fresh capillary blood samples, either for self-testing or in a clinical environment by trained personnel.
It enables quick and easy blood glucose measurement, measured values to be stored and the aver-
age of all measured values to be displayed to ideally assist you in monitoring diabetes. The test is
performed exclusively externally (IVD).
The large backlit display shows measured values clearly. The user-friendly design with handy test
strips and a reduction in the controls to a few buttons guarantee simple, yet reliable measurements.
The device can be connected directly to a PC using the USB cable provided. You can evaluate the
measured values on your PC using blood glucose diary software and use the results to monitor your
blood glucose values.
Beurer blood glucose software is available as a free download at www.beurer.com
