Important Information About Your New Meter
EasyMax Voice III blood glucose meter is designed and approved for testing fresh capillary blood from
fingertip, palm or forearm. The meter is for outside the body (in vitro) use. It should not be used to
diagnose diabetes.
Only use EasyMax Voice III blood glucose meter with EasyMax Voice III Blood Glucose Test Strips.
Other test strips will give inaccurate results.
Testing is not valid for neonatal blood specimen.
Do not disassemble the meter as this may cause damage to the components resulting in incorrect
reading. 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, a bathroom or a 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.
Elevated levels of acetaminophen, uric acid, gentisic acid, L-Dopa, dopamine, ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
and methyldopa may affect the test results.
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 viral disease.

Health-Related Information
If you are very dehydrated, urinating frequently, 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.
