Important Information about Your New EasyMax®R2N
EasyMax®R2N blood glucose meter is designed and approved for testing fresh capillary
whole blood samples from your fingertip. The meter is for in vitro diagnostic use ONLY (for
testing outside the body). It should not be used to diagnose diabetes.
EasyMax®R2N blood glucose meter can only be used with EasyMax®Blood Glucose
Test Strips. Other test strips will give inaccurate results.
Testing is not valid for neonatal blood specimens.
Do not disassemble the meter as this may cause damage to the components resulting in
incorrect readings. Disassembling the meter will also void the warranty.
Always keep the meter clean and store it in a safe place. Protect the meter from direct
sunlight to ensure a longer lifespan.
You should not store the meter and test strips in a car, bathroom, or refrigerator.
Keep the meter, test strips and lancing device away from children and pets.
You should not test critically ill patients with home-use blood glucose meters.
Incorrect results may occur when performing the test. If you believe you are not feeling
well, please contact your healthcare professional.
Remove batteries if the meter will not be used for one month or more.

Warning for potential biohazard: Healthcare professionals using this system on multiple
patients should be aware that all products or objects that come in contact with human
blood, even after cleaning, should be handled as if capable of transmitting a viral disease.
Consult with your healthcare professional before testing on your forearm or palm.
Do not touch the strips with wet hands.
Do not use expired strips (the expiration date is shown on the bottle.)
Do not bend, cut or twist the strips.
Up to the altitude of 3,048 meters has effect on readings.

Health-Related Information
If you are experiencing dehydration, frequent urination, low blood pressure, shock or
hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic coma (HHNKC), you may get a test result that is
lower than what your blood glucose really is. If you think you are dehydrated, call your
doctor right away.
If you have followed the steps in the user’s manual, but still have symptoms that don’t
seem to match your test results, or if you have questions, please talk to your doctor or
health care professional.
Please read your test strip instruction carefully for additional health-related information.
Warning for potential biohazard:
Healthcare professionals using this system on multiple patients should handle all
products or objects in contact with human blood carefully to avoid transmitting viral
