Preface
Thank you for selecting the GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System. This manual provides all the
information you need to operate this product for accurate test results. Please read this entire manual
before you start any testing.
For people living with diabetes, it is important to regularly monitor blood glucose levels to effectively
reduce complications from the disease. The easy-to-use GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System
provides accurate, reliable test results to help you better manage your diabetes.
The GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is designed for in vitro diagnostic use only (for self-testing
by a single user outside the body). Testing requires only a small amount of fresh capillary whole blood
from either the fingertip, palm or forearm.
The GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is manufactured and supported by Bionime Corporation. If
you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local Bionime Customer Service or call us at
886 0800 241 688 GMT+08:00, 08:30~17:30.
The GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is a personal blood glucose monitoring system to be used
for self-testing only. It is not recommended for multiple users.
A healthcare professional should be contacted when Customer Service is not available.

Caution

Precaution
- Before using the GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System to test your blood glucose, please read all of
the instructions and conduct all of the tests including the quality control test (Refer to page 37).
- Please perform the quality control test regularly to make sure the test results are accurate.
- The GE006 Blood Glucose Meter can only be used with GE006 Blood Glucose Test Strips. Other brands’
test strips should not be used under any circumstances. The use of other brands’ strips may give
inaccurate results.
- The GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only. The GE006
Blood Glucose test results using fresh capillary whole blood samples from the fingertip, palm and
forearm are calibrated to be the equivalent to that of plasma testing.
- The GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for self-testing. It should not be used to
screen for or diagnose diabetes mellitus.
- If the GE006 Blood Glucose Meter and Test Strips are exposed to a substantial change in temperature,
please wait 30 minutes before measurement.
- Follow all environmental protection regulations when disposing of batteries.
- Avoid contact with dripping or splashing liquids.
- The minimum blood sample size to test using the GE006 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is 0.75µL:
( )
Blood sample size above 3.0µL might contaminate the test strip port and the meter.
Blood sample size below 0.75µL may cause an inaccurate result or may prevent a meter reading. An Er4
reading will be displayed if the sample size is too small. In this case, repeat the test with a new test strip.
Sample Size Example 0.75µL 1.0 1.5µL 2.0µLµL 3.0µL
Important Safety Notes:
- The GE006 Blood Glucose Meter and Lancing Device are for single patient use. Do not
share them with anyone including other family members.
- All parts of the kit are considered biohazardous and can potentially transmit infectious
diseases, even after following the cleaning and disinfecting procedures.
- Users should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after handling
the meter, lancing device, or test strips.
Please refer to the
section "Cleaning and Disinfecting Procedures" on page 47.

CAUTION
- Test results may vary if blood samples are taken from different sites or under certain
conditions where glucose levels are changing rapidly such as: following a drink, a meal, an
insulin dose or exercise. In these cases, only the fingertip should be used.
- DO NOT test on the palm or forearm if you are testing for hypoglycemia (Low blood glucose).
- Fingertip samples can show the rapid change in glucose faster than palm or forearm
samples.
- Consult your healthcare professional before sampling from your palm or forearm.
- Since the blood flow in the forearm and palm is slower than in the fingertip,
sites other than
fingertip.
- If you use the normal lancing device for your palm or forearm, the blood sample may not be
sufficient for meter operation.
- Periodically compare the test system to a laboratory test system that is known to be well
maintained and monitored by a healthcare provider.

CAUTION
- Check the expiration date printed on the strip vial every time you use a test strip. Do not use
expired GE006 Blood Glucose Test Strips.
- Use each GE006 Blood Glucose Test Strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
- Do not reuse GE006 Blood Glucose Test Strips.
-
- Apply the blood sample only on the sample port of the test strip.
Do not perform testing immediately after moving from one ambient temperature to another
(e.g. after coming indoors from the outside). Allow 45 minutes for the temperature of the
meter and the test strips to equilibrate.
Understanding Test Results and Messages
If your blood glucose result is unusually high or low, or if you question your test results, repeat the test
with a new GE006 Blood Glucose Test Strip.
You can also run a Quality Control Test with the Control Solution GC550 to check your GE006
Blood Glucose Meter and GE006 Test Strip (Refer to “Performing a Quality Control Test” on page 40) .
If the test result still remains unusually high or low, contact your healthcare professional immediately.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose test results and you
have made sure to follow all instructions in this manual, contact your healthcare professional
immediately.
Consult your health care provider for appropriate disposal of used test strips and lancets.
