What the EasyTouch®GCU system is for
●The self-testing EasyTouch® GCU Blood Glucose/Cholesterol/Uric Acid Multi-
Function Monitoring System is designed for in vitro diagnostic use only (external
use only). The system is for healthcare professionals and persons with diabetes,
hypercholesterolemia, or hyperuricemia to quantitatively measure glucose, cholesterol,
and uric acid values in fresh capillary whole blood from a nger stick. Frequent
monitoring of whole blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid is an adjunct to the care
of persons with diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperuricemia. Simply apply a
drop of blood to the test strip, and the test result will be displayed on the screen in 6
seconds for glucose, 150 seconds for cholesterol, and 6 seconds for uric acid.
●The EasyTouch®GCU System is suitable for diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and
hyperuricemia management at home or professional use.
●The EasyTouch®GCU Meter can only be used with EasyTouch®II Blood Glucose
Test Strips, EasyTouch® Blood Cholesterol Test Strips, and EasyTouch®II Blood Uric
Acid Test Strips. The use of any other test strips may give incorrect results.
●Before using the products to test your blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid levels,
read all the instructions carefully. It includes all the information you need to know in
order to get the accurate blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid readings.
●Do not change your medical plan without a doctor’s approval. The EasyTouch®GCU
system should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and
hyperuricemia or for testing newborns.

●Lipaemic samples, such as those with cholesterol up to 500 mg/dL or triglycerides up to 3000
mg/dL, have not been tested and are not recommended for testing
with the EasyTouch®
GCU System.
●
Hematocrit levels, that is, the percentage of red blood cells in your blood, below 30% and
higher than 55% was found to cause a higher or lower reading, respectively. No significant
effect on the reading was found for hematocrit in blood samples between 30% and 55%.
●The monitoring system will not work properly at altitudes greater than 8,000 feet (2,438
meters) above sea level.
●The system is designed to use at temperatures between 14°C and 40°C (57.2°F and
104°F) and between 20 and 85% relative humidity. If you use the system outside the
proposed conditions, it can give false results.

direct sunlight.
●Be sure to follow your local regulations for proper disposal of used test strips and
lancets.
●Do not use this meter in a dry environment, especially if synthetic materials are
present. Synthetic clothes, carpets, etc., may cause damaging static discharges in a
dry environment.
