OWNER’S BOOKLET
(TD-4141)
Dear owner of GlucoRx Nexus mini ultra Blood Glucose Monitoring System,
The system consists of three main products: the meter, test strips and control solution.
These products have been designed,tested, and proven to work together as a system to
produce accurate blood glucose test results.Only use GlucoRx Nexus test strips and control
solutions with the GlucoRx Nexus mini ultra Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
Intended Use
This system is intended for external use (in vitro diagnostic use) only. It is used for the
quantitative measurement of glucose in samples of fresh capillary whole blood taken from
the palm, forearm, or fingers. It is not intended to diagnose or screen for diabetes mellitus,
or to be used on newborn babies.
Professionals may test with capillary and venous blood sample; home use is limited to
capillary whole blood testing.
This system provides you with plasma equivalent results.
Read Before Use
The meter will turn off automatically after 120 seconds without any action, or you can
press and hold ▲and ▼to turn off the meter.

STEP 2. Setting the time format.
Press ▲to select the desired time format -- 12h or 24h.
Press ▼.
STEP 2. Apply control solution
STEP 3. Read and compare the results
Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before use.Squeeze
out a drop and wipe it off, then squeeze out another drop and
place it on the tip of the vial cap. Hold the meter to move the
absorbent hole of the test strip to touch the drop.Once the
confirmation window fills completely, the meter will begin
counting down.To avoid contaminating the control solution,
do not directly apply control solution onto a strip.
After the meter counts to 0, the result of the control solution
test will appear.Compare the result with the range printed on
your test strip vial.The result should fall within this range.
Out-of-range results
If you continue to have test results falling outside the range printed on the test strip vial,
your meter and/or strips may not be working properly.Do NOT test your blood.Contact
GlucoRx Customer Services on 01483-755133.
Every time you perform a control solution test you must enter“QC”test mode so that
the test result will not be stored in the meter memory.
CAUTION

lancing device. Use the clear cap for sites other than fingers and refer to the strip package
insert for more details.
Preparing the Lancing Device for Blood Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for collecting a blood sample.

MESSAGE WHAT IT MEANS ACTION
The symbol appears with this
message.This means that the
battery does not have enough
power for a test.
Replace the battery immediately.
A used test strip is inserted, or
there is an electrical problem.
Repeat test with a new test strip. If
the error message re-appears,
please contact GlucoRx for help.
The temperature of the
environment, meter, or test strip
is outside the system’s operating
range. You cannot perform a test
until the meter and test strip are
within the operating range of
10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F).
Repeat the test after the meter and
test strip are within the operating
temperatures.
Problem with the meter. Review the instructions and try
again with a new test strip. If the
problem persists, please contact
GlucoRx for help.
You may have removed the strip
after applying blood to the
absorbent hole.
Keep the test strip in the meter after
it has absorbed the blood until the
meter displays the test result.
If the confirmation window is not filled completely before your meter begins to count
down, do not add more blood to the test strip. Discard the test strip and start again. If you
have trouble filling the test strip,please call GlucoRx Customer Services on 01483-755133
for assistance.
Gently apply a drop of blood to the absorbent hole of the test strip at a titled angle. The
confirmation window should be completely filled if enough blood sample has been
applied. Do NOT remove your finger until you hear a beep sound or a count down starts.
If you do not apply a blood sample within 2 minutes, the meter will turn itself off. You
must remove the test strip and insert it back into the meter to restart the test.
NOTE
STEP 4. Get result
Your blood glucose result will be stored in the memory automatically.
1. Please do not change your treatment based on the result without first consulting
your healthcare professional.
2.Turn the meter off by removing the test strip. Discard the used test strip and lancet
carefully according to your local regulations.
Warning
You can test on a variety of locations on your body.
Important: There are limitations with AST (Alternative Site Testing).
Please consult your healthcare professional before you perform AST.
When to use AST?
Food,medication, illness,stress and exercise can affect blood glucose levels. Capillary
blood at the fingertip reflects these changes faster than capillary blood at other sites.
Thus when testing blood glucose during or immediately after a meal, physical exercise or
any other event, take a blood sample from your finger only.
We strongly recommend that you perform AST ONLY at the following times:
• In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).
• Two hours or more after taking insulin.
• Two hours or more after exercise.
Do NOT use AST if:
• You think your blood glucose is low.
• You are unaware of hypoglycemia
• You are testing for hyperglycemia
• Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
• Your routine glucose results often fluctuate.
