About Alternative Site Testing
(AST)
IMPORTANT: There are limitations for doing alternative site testing (AST).
Please consult your healthcare professional before you do AST.
What is AST?
Alternative site testing (AST) means that people use parts of the body other than fingertips to check
their blood glucose levels. This system provides you to test on your forearm, upper arm, calf, or thigh
with the equivalent results to fingertip testing.
What is the advantage?
Fingertips feel pain more readily because they are full of
nerve endings (receptors). At other body sites, since nerve
endings weren't so condensed, you won't feel as much
pain as at the fingertip.
When to use AST?
Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affect
blood glucose levels. Capillary blood at fingertip reflects
these changes faster than capillary blood at other sites.
Therefore when testing blood glucose during or
immediately after meal, physical exercise, or any other
event, take blood sample from your finger only.
We strongly recommend you do AST in the following intervals:
•In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).
•2 hours or more after taking insulin.
•2 hours or more after exercise.
Do NOT use AST if:
•You think your blood glucose is low.
•You are unaware of hypoglycemia.
•Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
•You are testing for hyperglycemia.
•Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.
•You are pregnant.
About Alternative Site Testing (AST)
Instruction Manual 5
Ideal Blood Gluco Manual 9/24/07 12:25 PM Page 5

How to increase the accuracy?
Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site prior to blood extraction has a significant
influence on the glucose value obtained. Blood from the site without rubbing exhibits a measurably
different glucose concentration than blood from the finger. When the puncture site was rubbed prior
to blood extraction, the difference was significantly reduced.
Please follow the suggestions below before getting a drop of blood:
•Rub the puncture site about 20 seconds before penetration.
•Use a clear cap (included in the kit) instead while setting the lancing device.

CALIBRATION
When using the system for the first time, or before using a new vial of test strips, you need to do
calibration, which can be easily done by inserting the code strip into the meter. It is important to
make sure that the code displayed on the LCD is the same as the code printed on the test strip vial
before you proceed. ONLY TEST BLOOD GLUCOSE WHEN THE CODES ARE
IDENTICAL, SO THE TEST RESULTS WILL BE ACCURATE. Please calibrate the meter
according to the following steps.
STEP 1. Enter the Code Mode
Start with the meter turned off. Insert
a test strip to turn on the meter. “CH”
and “ ” will appear. Next, the ambient
temperature and then the code number will appear.
STEP 2 Match the Code Numbers.
Compare the code number on the
meter display with the code number
on the test strip vial. If the two code
numbers match, you may begin testing.
If not, follow Step 3.

ABOUT CONTROL SOLUTION
Control solutions contain a known amount of glucose that reacts with test strips. By comparing your
control solution test results with the expected range printed on the test strip vial label, it is able to check
that the meter and the test strips are working together as a system and that you are performing the test
correctly. It is very important that you do this simple check routinely to make sure you get accurate results.
How often should the control solution test be performed?
•When you use this system to test your blood for the first time, practice the procedure using
control solution. When you can do three tests in a row that are within the expected range, you are
ready to test your blood.
•Routinely check the meter and test strips, so perform a single test for each level of control
solution at least once a week
When should the control solution test be performed?
•When you first get your IDEAL LIFE Gluco-Manager™
•When you begin using a new vial of test strips.
•Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.
•When your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel, or when you think your
results are inaccurate.
•When your test strips are expeose to extreme environmental conditions (See “Important Test Strip
Information” below)
•When you want to practice running the test.
•If you drop the meter.
IMPORTANT CONTROL SOLUTION TEST INFORMATION
•Use the same branded control solutions as the test strips
•Check the expiry date on the control solution vial. Do not use if expired.
•Control solution, meter, and test strips should come to room temperature
(20°C - 25°C / 68°F - 77°F) before testing.
•Shake the vial before use. Discard the first drop of control solution. After squeezing, wipe off the
dispenser tip to avoid contamination. The above tips ensure you get a good sample and an
accurate result.
•Use a period of 90 days from the date that you first open it. Record the discard date (date
opened plus 90 days) on the control solution vial. Discard after 90 days.
Installation
IDEAL LIFE Gluco-Manager™

Ideal Blood Gluco Manual 9/24/07 12:25 PM Page 18

•Store the control solution tightly closed at temperature below 30°C (86°F) and do not refrigerate.
NOTE! The control solution range printed on the test strip vial is for
appropriately branded control solution only. It is used to test meter and
test strip performance. It is not the recommended range for your blood
glucose level.
HOW TO DO A CONTROL SOLUTION TEST?
Step 1. Insert a Test Strip
Insert a test strip with contact bars end first and facing up into the test slot. (Contact bars must be
inserted all the way into the meter or you may get an inaccurate test result.) The meter turns on
automatically. The screen will display a “CH” and “ ” first, then the ambient temperature
next and finally a code number will appear on the display with the “ ” symbol. Be sure the code
number on the display matches the code number on the test strip vial. If the code numbers do not
match, please refer to the “Calibration” section above for the correct code selection.
After the “ ” symbol appears on the display, press the Left Soft Button to allow for the screen to
display CTL. With CTL on the screen, the meter will not store your test result in memory. If you decide
not to perform a control solution test, press the Left Soft Button and the CTL screen will disappear.
NOTE! Every time you perform a control solution test, you must enter into
the “CTL” test mode so that the test result will not be stored in the meter
memory.

Ideal Blood Gluco Manual 9/24/07 12:25 PM Page 19

Step 2. Apply Control Solution
Shake the control solution vial well. Remove the cap.
Squeeze the vial, discard the first drop, and wipe off
the dispenser tip. Squeeze the vial again to get
another drop and place the drop on your finger tip first.
Then, apply the drip to the absorbent hole of the test
(where it meets the narrow channel) until the drop is
drawn into the test strip and the confirmation window is filled. The meter begins to count down.
CAUTION! To avoid contaminating the control solution with the content of
the test strip, you have to place a drop of control solution on a clean
surface or on your finger tip first. Do not directly apply control solution
into a strip.
Step 3. Display test result
After counting to 0, the control solution test result appears.
Compare the result with the range printed on the test strip vial.
The result should fall within this range.
Out of Range Results
If test results fall outside the range printed on the test strip vial, check the “Problem Solving Guide,”
below and repeat the test. IF you continue to get out of range results, it means that the system may
not be working properly. Do NOT test your blood. Contact an IDEAL LIFE™ customer representative at
1-888-IDEAL-41 (888-433-2541) to resolve the issue.
