Dear GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding Blood Glucose
Monitoring System Owner
Thank you for choosing the GLUCOLAB
TM
Auto-coding Blood Glucose
Monitoring System. This booklet has important information you need to know
about the
GLUCOLAB
TM
Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
Please read it carefully.
We understand that self-testing of blood glucose level provides a way to control
your diabetes and may give you peace of mind by testing regularly. As a result
GLUCOLAB
TM
Auto-coding was developed to provide you with a fast and
accurate reading with a convenient and simple process. Our goal at
GLUCO-
LAB
TM
Auto-coding is to provide the best quality healthcare products coupled
with superior customer service. Always consult with your healthcare profes-
sional before making any changes to your diabetes management. The
GLU-
COLAB
TM
Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System is for in vitro diag-
nostic use only.
Important information
The GLUCOLAB
TM
Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended
for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only). It should be used only for
testing blood glucose and only with fresh capillary whole blood samples. It
should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes.
Consult your physician or diabetic healthcare professional about daily man-
agement of your diabetes and proper use of the glucometer.
Please pay close attention when handling blood. Improper procedures may
cause serious hazards to your health.
The
GLUCOLAB
TM
Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System contains
small parts. Please keep your monitoring system out of reach of children.
Test Principle
The enzyme glucose oxidase on the blood glucose test strip reads specifically
with the blood glucose. The current generated is converted and displayed as
blood glucose value.
The
GLUCOLAB
TM
Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System is plasma-
calibrated to allow easy comparison of results with laboratory methods.
A blood glucose meter which is calibrated against a whole blood method may
have different results in comparison to
GLUCOLAB
TM
Auto-coding .
The laboratory system used for calibration of the
GLUCOLAB
TM
Auto-coding
Blood Glucose Monitoring System is YSI 2300 STAT plus which is equipped
with a glucose oxidase system.

GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding Blood Glucose
Test Strip Information
Limitations of Blood glucose measuring system :
The blood glucose test strips provide accurate results when the following conditions
are observed:
- Use the GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding blood glucose test strips with the GLUCOLABTM
Auto-coding blood glucose test meter or GLUCOLABTM blood glucose test meter.
- Use fresh capillary whole blood only.
- Do not use neonate samples.
- The blood glucose test strips are for single use only. Do not reuse.
- Dehydration may lower test results.
- Inaccurate results may occur when in shock, hypotensive, hyperglycemic, or hyper-
osmolar state, with or without ketosis.
- Blood glucose test strips used above altitudes of 10,000 feet will have an effect on
test results.
Doctors - Please note the following interferences that may affect test results :
- GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding test strip results can be used with hematocrit levels in the
range of 20% to 60%.
If the hematocrit range is out of the range(20~60%), then the test results may be
lower or higher than actual value.
- Interferences : Acetaminophen, Uric and, Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), and other reduc-
ing substances when occurring in normal blood or normal therapeutic concentrations
do not significantly affect results. However, abnormally high concentrations may
cause inaccurately high results.
- Lipemic samples; Cholesterol up to 12.93mmol/L or triglyceride up to 33.9mmol/L do
not significantly affect the results. Values beyond these levels should be interpreted
with caution.
- Blood samples that contain a high concentration of dissolved oxygen may lower the
test result.

Alternate Site Testing
Upper Arm Forearm
Thigh Calf
Dorsal Hand
Fingertips
Important Information About Using Alternative Sites Testing :
• Alternate sites where you can test are dorsal hand, ventral palm, upper
arm, forearm, calf, and thigh.
• Under certain conditions, blood glucose test results obtained using sam-
ples taken from your alternate sites may differ significantly from fingertip
samples
• The conditions in which these differences are more likely to occur are
when your blood glucose is changing rapidly such as following a meal, as
insulin dose, or associated with physical exercise.
• When blood glucose is changing rapidly, fingertip samples show these
changes more quickly than alternate sites samples.
• When your blood glucose is falling, testing with a fingertip sample may
identify a hypoglycemic (low blood glucose) level sooner than a test with a
alternate sites sample.
• Use alternate sites samples only for testing prior to or more than two hours
after meal, insulin doses, or physical exercise.
• Testing performed within two hours after meals, insulin doses, or physical
exercise or whenever you feel that your glucose levels may be changing
rapidly should be done from the fingertip.
• You should also use fingertip testing whenever you have a concern about
hypoglycemia (insulin reactions) such as when driving a car, particularly if
you suffer from hypoglycemic unawareness (lack of symptom to indicate
as insulin reaction), as forearm testing may fail to detect hypoglycemia.
Important :
We recommend that you test on your fingertips if you are testing for hypoglycemia
(low blood glucose) or if you are suffering from hypoglycemia unawareness.
