To receive safe and optimum system benefits, please read the
entire manual contents before using the system. Please note
the following instructions:
Intended use:
Bravo™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System is used for the
quantitative measurement of the glucose level in capillary
whole blood as an aid in monitoring diabetes management
of individual user effectively.
Bravo™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System should be used
only for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic
use only). Bravo™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System should
not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for testing
newborns. Testing sites include the traditional fingertip
testing along with alternate sites testing on forearm, palm,
thigh and calf.

Remove the cap and squeeze the
bottle to discard the first drop.
Then wipe the tip with a clean
tissue or cloth. After the
symbol appears on the display, apply the solution to the
narrow edge of the test strip until the meter beeps. Make
sure the confirmation window fills completely.
Insert a test strip into the meter’s
test strip port, with the contact
bars facing upwards. Gently push
the test strip into the port until
the meter beeps. Be careful not to
break the strip while pushing it in.
The symbol will be displayed

A test result will appear after the
meter counts down from 5 to 1.
After your control solution result
appears on the display, press for 3
seconds till the ‘check’ appears on the

What is Alternative Site Testing(AST)?
Usually, when someone tests their glucose, they take the
blood sample from the tip of the finger. However, since there
are many nerve endings distributed there, it can be quite
painful. When doing a glucose test, using different parts
of the body such as the arms, palms, thighs, and calves can
reduce the pain during testing. This method of testing with
different parts of the body other than the fingertips is called
Alternative Site Testing. While AST may reduce the pain
during testing, it may not be simple for everyone and the
following precautions should be observed during testing.
Alternative Site for Testing
(during the two hours after a meal, insulin dose or
exercise)
test value
(hypoglycemic unawareness)
machinery
ALTERNATIVE SITE TESTING
Please understand the following things before testing outside
of the fingertip (arms, palm, thighs, calves). The capillary
blood of the fingertip shows the change in glucose more
rapidly than AST. Therefore, the test results from the fingertip
test and AST may differ. This is because things such as lifestyle
and ingested food have an effect on glucose levels.
Vacuum-assisted lancing devices are useful in collecting blood
from alternative sites. It is possible to use regular lancing
devices for alternative sites by piercing deeper than when
sampling from fingertips and pressing slightly against the skin.
ACCEPTABLE SITUATIONS FOR AST
SITUATIONS REQUIRING FINGERTIP TEST
Alternative Site Blood Sampling (forearm, palm, thigh, calf)
Select a clean, soft and fleshy sample site area free of visible
veins and hair and away from bones. Gently massage the
sample site to help blood circulation to minimize result
differences between fingertip and alternative site sampling.
Firmly press and hold the lancing device against site. Wait
until the skin surface under the lancing device changes color.
Then press the release button while continuing to apply
until sufficient (at least 0.5 µL, actual size: ) blood is drawn.
Carefully lift the lancing device away from your skin.
