About Your New System
Welcome
Thank you for selecting the Medisign MM1100 BT Blood Glucose Monitoring
System. This user manual is designed to provide you with information on how to
use the Medisign MM1100 BT Glucose Monitoring System. Follow the instructions
carefully that are detailed in this manual. Before using your monitoring system
for the first time, please read this manual carefully and If you have any
questions, contact Customer Service at 1-888-885-6677, anytime-24 hours a
day. You can also obtain information at www.empecs.com.
Intended Use
Medisign MM1100 BT Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for the
quantitative measurement of the glucose in fresh capillary whole blood drawn
from fingertip, palm, and forearm by a single patient (lay user) as an aid in the
management of diabetes. It is intended for self testing by persons at home, for
single patient use only, and should not be shared.
It is intended for use outside the body (in-vitro diagnostic use only) and not for
the diagnosis of or screening of diabetes or for neonatal use.
The alternative site testing (palm and forearm) should be done only during
steady state times (when glucose in not changing rapidly).
Application
Medisign MM1100 Blood Glucose Test Strips are for in-vitro diagnostic use and

substitute for your physician or Healthcare Professional. Use the Medisign
MM1100 BT Blood Glucose Meter in conjunction with your Healthcare Program.
Test Principle
Glucose in the blood sample reacts with glucose oxidase on the test strip and a
harmless electrical current is produced. The strength of these currents change
with the amount of glucose in the blood sample and the Medisign MM1100 BT
Blood Glucose Meter automatically interprets this reaction.

03 04
Glucose measurements are reported as plasma equivalents. This system uses
plasma equivalent methodology. Results that use a plasma equivalent method
are approximately 11% higher than those obtained with whole-blood
equivalent test strips.

results.
2. Use the test strip ejector located on the back of the meter to remove the
used test strip.
3. The meter will turn off automatically once the test strip is removed.
4.The used test strip should be handled carefully and disposed of properly.
Alternate Site Testing
Contact your Healthcare Professional before using any alternative sites to test
your blood glucose.
lAlternative site results may be different from fingertip results when glucose
levels are changing rapidly (e.g., after a meal, after taking insulin, or during or
after exercise).
lUse alternative site testing only two hours or more after taking insulin, two hours
or more after a meal, two hours or more after exercise.
lDo not use alternative site testing if you are aware that your glucose level is
not as stable as usual, or if you think you may have hypoglycemia (low blood
glucose) hyperglycemia (high blood glucose), or you think your blood glucose
may be rising or falling rapidly.
lDo not use alternative site testing if your alternative site testing results do not
match the way you feel.
lAST measurements should never be used to calibrate continuous glucose
monitors (CGM).
lAST measurements should never be used in insulin dosing calculations.

25 26
Do not rely on test results at an alternative sampling site, but use samples taken
from the fingertip, if any of the following applies:
lyou think your blood sugar is low.
lyou are not aware of symptoms when you become hypoglycemic.
lthe site results do not agree with the way you feel.
lafter a meal.
lafter exercise.
lduring illness.
lduring times of stress.
CAUTION:
lNever change your treatment without first consulting your Physician or a
Healthcare Professional.
lNever ignore symptoms of high or low blood glucose.
lIf your blood glucose does not match how you feel, perform a fingertip
test to confirm your result. If the fingertip test result still does not match
how you feel, call your Healthcare Professional.
Lancing and Sampling from an Alternate
Site
Sampling from your palm or forearm allows you to use your fingertips less often.
You may find that obtaining a blood sample from an alternative site is less
painful than using a fingertip. Getting a blood sample from your forearm or
palm is different than getting a sample from your fingertips.
lForearm sampling: Choose a fleshy area of the forearm away
from the bone, visible veins and hair. Sometimes there is less
blood flow to the forearm than to the fingertips. To help you get
a large enough drop of blood, you may gently massage or
apply warmth to the site to increase blood flow.
lPalm sampling: Choose a fleshy area on the palm below your
thumb or little finger. Select an area away from veins or deep
creases which may cause your blood sample to smear.
Foream
Palm

27 28
The Lancing Device Clear Cap is used for forearm and palm sampling only.
Replace the lancing device cap to the clear cap and follow the same steps
as descried in the chapter titled "Performing Blood Glucose Test".
NOTICE:
lYou may need to wait a little longer to get a large enough drop of blood
from the forearm or palm. Do not squeeze the site excessively.
lIf the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact with hair or a
crease in your palm, do not use that sample. Try puncturing again in a
smoother area.
lYou may have to adjust the lancing device to a deeper setting to get a large
enough drop of blood.
