the cuff, you should be able to fit 2 fingers
between them.

measuring.
5. Place your elbow on a flat surface. Relax your
hand with the palm facing up.
6. Press the power button. All the LCD symbols
will appear. Then the cuff will begin to inflate
automatically.

Where can I review my data?
Since the D40g is not Bluetooth-enabled, it will not connect to an
app on a smartphone. You can check the memory on the D40g for
the latest 864 readings by pressing the M button or log in to the
24/7 HealthView Telehealth patient portal at telehealth.foracare.
com to review your latest readings and keep track of your trends.
The product user manual can be downloaded from the website
product page.
What is control solution and how do I use it?
Control solution is used to check if the meter and test strips are
properly working together as a system. You only need control
solution if you are using the meter to measure your blood glucose
levels, and only when you get a new set of test strips or think your
results are not accurate. To use the control solution, insert the test
strip into the meter as usual, apply the second drop of control
solution to the test strip (do not apply control solution directly on
to the test strip), and compare the results with the range printed
on the control solution vial. Please note the expiration date, and
discard any control solution that has expired or been open for
longer than 3 months.
What are the cleaning and disinfecting procedures for the D40g?
Clean the meter when you see any dirt on it. Disinfect the meter
at least once a week to prevent infection. To clean, use one
disinfecting wipe on exposed surfaces of the meter to remove
visible dirt, blood or other fluids. Do not use organic solvents to
clean the meter. To disinfect, clean the meter first. Then grab one
disinfecting wipe and squeeze out any excess liquid to prevent
damage. Wipe all meter’s exterior surface display and buttons,
but be careful not to allow excess liquid to get inside the test slot.
Keep meter wet with disinfecting solution for a minimum of two
minutes. Remove the wipe and allow the surface to dry completely.
Discard the wipe. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the
meter, lancing device, and test strips to avoid contamination. This
device has been validated to withstand up to 6,000 cleaning and
disinfecting cycles using the recommended disinfecting wipes.
See the user manual for more information.

manual.
FAQ
How does the D40g work?
The D40g measures the systolic and diastolic blood pressure
and pulse rate by using a non-invasive technique in which an
inflatable cuff is wrapped on the upper arm. The device also
measures blood glucose from fresh capillary whole blood
samples. It automatically uploads data to the 24/7 HealthView
Telehealth System using 3G cellular technology.
What’s the proper way to take a measurement?
To test your blood pressure, make sure you’ve been sitting for at
least 10 minutes, your elbow is on a flat surface with your palm
facing up, and the cuff is about the same level as your heart. Do
not talk or move during measurement. To test your blood glucose
levels, wash and dry your hands before starting, insert the test
strip into the device, rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds,
puncture your finger, wipe away the first drop of blood, squeeze
the finger to produce a larger sample size, and carefully touch
the finger to the tip of the test strip allowing the absorbent hole to
sip in the blood.
How often do I need to charge the battery?
Please charge battery for 5 hours before first use. The lifespan
of your battery will vary considerably with how it is used, how it
is maintained and charged, temperature, and other factors such
as frequency of testing. Use the A/C adaptor (input: 100-240V /
output: 6V 1A) to recharge the 3.7V rechargeable Li-ion battery.
After about 5 hours, the battery will be fully charged, as indicated
when the green battery light disappears.
Can I use the meter without the battery?
Yes, you can use the device to measure your blood pressure
when it is plugged in to the A/C adaptor without a battery.
However, it will not upload any readings until you insert the
battery again. You will not lose any readings while the battery is
not inserted.
