INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your trust!
You have chosen the iDia blood glucose monitoring system, which
can be used together with iDia test strips and related accessories
to easily and conveniently measure your blood glucose levels.
The measurement range of the iDia blood glucose monitoring sys-
tem is between 10 –600 mg/dL or 0.6 –33.3 mmol/L.
Please ask your specialist physician which unit of measurement
you should use for your therapy.
In order to obtain an accurate blood glucose measurement, you
must follow certain important guidelines.
Therefore, please read this user guide carefully before using the
device for the rst time.
You will be amazed at how easy it is to take measurements!
Your blood glucose monitoring system contents:1)
1iDia Blood glucose meter
and following accessories:
10 iDia Blood glucose test strips
1IME-DC Lancing device
10 IME-DC UNIVERSAL Blood lancets
1 Kit-Case

INTRODUCTION
Before taking your rst measurement, please take note of the
following important information.
■The iDia blood glucose monitoring system is an in vitro diagnos-
tic tool that is suitable for self-testing. It enables people with
diabetes and specialist medical sta to determine blood glucose
values.
■The iDia blood glucose monitoring system is suitable for analys-
ing fresh capillary blood, venous blood, arterial blood or neonatal
blood.
■Only use iDia test strips and iDia control solutions. Using other
test strips can lead to incorrect readings.
■Close the storage container immediately aer removing the test
strip(s).
■Check the expiry dates of the test strips and control solution.
■Use a new lancet for each blood sample.
■Always store the measuring device or test strips according to the
storage requirements, and protect both from moisture, direct sun-
light and other heat sources.
■Keep the measuring device and all accessories away from chil-
dren.
■Clean your iDia blood glucose monitoring system regularly.
■The functioning of the iDia blood glucose monitoring system
can only be guaranteed if it is used correctly and for its intended
purpose.
■Blood glucose monitoring systems must not be used for diabetes
diagnosis.

‘HI’ NOTIFICATION
This will appear if the measured blood glucose value exceeds
600 mg/dL or 33.3 mmol/L (23 and 24).
‘LO’ NOTIFICATION
This will appear if the measured blood glucose value is below
10 mg/dL or 0.6 mmol/L (25 and 26).

MEMORY DISPLAY
The iDia blood glucose meter can save up to 900 blood glucose
measurements, along with the date and time of each. Blood glu-
cose measurements and control solution measurements are stored
separately. If the user exceeds the memory capacity, each addi-
tional measurement will automatically overwrite the oldest saved
blood glucose value.
Aer switching on the blood glucose monitoring system and then
pressing the main button, the last blood glucose meter taken will
be displayed with its corresponding date and time (27 and 28). By
pressing the main button again, other saved measurement results
can be recalled.
