Important Information
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings
which are lower than actual values. If you believe you are suffering
from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional im-
mediately.
If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual, and
you do not have any symptoms of illness, rst repeat the test. If
you have symptoms or continue to get results which are higher
or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare
professional.
Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose.
Using other substances will lead to incorrect results.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your
blood glucose test results and you have followed all the instruc-
tions given in this owner’s manual, contact your healthcare profes-
sional.
We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive
individuals or patients in shock. Readings which are lower than
actual values may occur for individuals experiencing a hypergly-
caemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Please consult
your healthcare professional before use.

Intended Use
This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic
use) by people with diabetes at home and by health care profes-
sionals in clinical settings as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness
of diabetes control. It is intended to be used for the quantitative
measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples from
the nger.
It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes, or testing on
newborns.
Professionals may test with capillary and venous whole blood; home
use is limited to capillary whole blood testing.
Test Principle
Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole
blood. The glucose testing is based on the measurement of electrical
current generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the
strip. The meter measures the current, calculates the blood glucose
level, and displays the result. The strength of the current produced
by the reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood
sample.

TaiDoc Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose that
reacts with test strips and is used to ensure your meter and test
strips are working together correctly.
Do a control solution test when:
you rst receive the meter,
at least once a week to routinely check the meter and test strips,
you begin using a new vial of test strips,
you suspect the meter or test strips are not working properly,
your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you
feel, or if you think the results are not accurate,
practicing the testing process, or
you have dropped or think you may have damaged the meter.
Performing a Control Solution Test
1. Insert the test strip to turn on the meter
Insert the test strip into the meter. Wait for the meter to display the
test strip and blood drop symbol.
