Intended Use
The EASYMAX®MU Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Test System is intended for the
quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood and venous blood from fingertip,
palm and forearm. Testing is done outside the body (In Vitro diagnostic use). It is indicated for
self-testing (over the counter [OTC]) by persons with diabetes, or in clinical settings by healthcare
professionals, as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. The system is not for the
diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus, and that alternate site testing can only be used
during steady-state blood glucose conditions.
