TEST PRINCIPLE
Testing with the iHealth system is based on the measurement of electrical currents generated by the
reaction of glucose with the reagent of the test strip. The iHealth system measures the current and converts
it to the corresponding blood glucose level.
The strength of the current produced by the reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood
sample.

INFORMATION ABOUT ALTERNATIVE SITE TESTING (AST)
What Is Alternative Site Testing?
Alternative site testing (AST is the use of parts of the body, other than the fingertips, to check blood
glucose levels. The iHealth Wireless Smart Gluco-Monitoring System allows you to test on the palm,
forearm, upper arm, calf, or thigh with equivalent results to fingertip testing when used at
appropriate times.

15 / 27
Caution:
When performing Alternate Site Testing, please remember to change the cap of the lancing device to
the clear cap specially designed for AST.
There are limitations for doing AST:
• Please consult your healthcare professional before you conduct AST.
• The iHealth Wireless Smart Gluco-Monitoring System should only be used for AST under
steady-state blood glucose conditions.
What Is the Advantage of Alternative Site Testing?
Pain is felt more readily on the fingertips because they are full of nerve endings (receptors . At other
body sites where nerve endings are not so condensed, pain is not felt as acutely.
When Should You Use Alternative Site Testing?
Food, medication, illness, stress, and exercise can affect blood glucose levels. Capillary blood from the
fingertips reflects these changes faster than capillary blood from other sites. Therefore, when testing
blood glucose levels during or immediately after meals or exercise, or when another of the
above-noted conditions applies, take a blood sample from your fingertips only. AST should be used
only during steady-state times when glucose levels are not changing rapidly.
Blood glucose results from the forearm, upper arm, hand, thigh and calf are not always the same as
results from fingertips. Alternative Site Testing is suitable in the following instances:
In a pre-meal or fasting state (two hours or more after the last meal .
Two hours or more after taking insulin.

16 / 27
Two hours or more after exercising.
Caution:
Do not use sites other than fingertips for testing when blood glucose is rapidly rising or falling, within
2 hours of eating, after taking insulin, immediately after exercise, or when you are ill or under stress.
Alternative Site Testing should not be used to calibrate continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMs).
Results from Alternative Site Testing should not be used in insulin dose calculations. Do not use AST if:
• ou think your blood glucose is low.
• ou are unaware that you might have hypoglycemia
• ou are testing for hyperglycemia.
• our AST results do not match the way you feel.
• our routine glucose results fluctuate often.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CONTROL SOLUTION TESTS
Control solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with test strips and is used to check that
your meter and test strips are working together properly.
Materials needed to perform a control solution test:
iHealth Wireless Smart Glucose Meter (BG5S

use the second drop of the control solution (discard the first drop .
• Hold the meter and move the absorbent hole of the test strip to catch the drop. Once the
conformation window fills completely, the meter will start counting down. Remove the control solution
sample from the test strip when the countdown begins.
Note:
• To avoid contaminating the entire vial of control solution, do not directly apply control solution
onto a strip.
Step A-3: Read and compare the results.
After the meter counts down to “1,” the control solution test result will appear on the meter display.
The result of the control solution test should be within the range printed on the test strip vial label. If
the test result falls outside the specified range, repeat the test, carefully following the steps above.
When the meter is not connected to your app on your Android or iOS mobile device:
You can perform this test with either EGS-2003 test strip or test strip AGS-1000I.
Step B-1: Launch the app, and select the CTL test mode.
Step B-2: Follow Step A-2 above.
Step B-3: Read and compare the results.
The control solution test result will appear on the app both on your device and meter. The
result of the control solution test should be within the range printed on the test strip vial label.
If the test result falls outside the specified range, repeat the test, carefully following the steps
above.
