Intended Use
This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic
total cholesterol in whole blood. It is for home use or for healthcare
professional use. It should not be used for diagnosis or screening of
diseases.
The test for hematocrit (HCT) as part of the system, is intended for
use in the in vitro quantification of packed red blood cell volume
fraction in capillary whole blood as an aid in monitoring the status of
total volume of red blood cells. The test reading of hematocrit (HCT)
is used only to determine whether the blood test sample is within the
acceptable range of the Multi-Functional monitoring system. It should
not be used for the diagnosis of anaemia or erythrocytosis.
The blood glucose test strip uses fresh capillary whole blood samples
from fingertips, and from venous, arterial and neonatal whole blood.

Professionals may use the test strips to test capillary, venous, arterial
and neonatal blood sample for blood glucose test or to test capillary
capillary whole blood testing.
Test Principle
testing is based on the measurement of electrical current generated
of the strip. The meter measures the current, calculates the glucose/
of the current produced by the reaction depends on the amount of

how you feel, or if you think the results are not accurate,
Test strips (c), control solutions (d), lancing device (e) or sterile
lancets (f) may not be included in the kit (please check the contents
on your product box). They can be purchased separately. Please
make sure you have those items needed for a test beforehand.
Performing a Control Solution Test
To perform a control solution test, you will need: (b), (c) and (d).
1. Insert the test strip to turn on your meter
Wait for the meter to display “ ”, “ ”, and “GLU”, “KETONE” or
“CHOL”.

is no longer a control solution test.
WARNING:
When doing the control solution test, you have to mark it so that
the test result will NOT mix with the TEST RESULTS stored in the
memory. Failure to do so will mix up the test results with the control
solution test results in memory.
3. Apply control solution (g)
Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before use. Squeeze out
the first drop and wipe it off, then squeeze out another drop and place
it on the tip of the vial cap. Hold the meter to move the absorbent hole
of the test strip to touch the drop. Once the confirmation window fills
completely, the meter will begin counting down.
NOTICE:
• Make sure to perform the control solution test in QC mode.
• To avoid contaminating the control solution, do not directly apply
control solution onto a strip.
4. Read and compare the result
After counting down to 0, the control solution test result will appear
on the display. Compare this result with the range printed on your test
strip vial and it should fall within this range. If not, please read the
instructions again and repeat the control solution test.
With “QC” displayed, the meter will store your test result in memory
under “QC”.
NOTE:
• There is no HCT display function while the meter is in QC mode.
• The control solution range printed on the test strip vial is for control solution
use only. It is not a recommended range for your blood glucose or ketone
level.
• See the MAINTENANCE section for important information about your
control solution.

WARNING:
To reduce the chance of infection:
• Never share a lancet of the lancing device.
• Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
• Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets and the
lancing device.
Preparing the Lancing Device for Blood Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for collecting
a blood sample.
Preparing the Puncture Site
Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site before blood
extraction has a significant influence on the accuracy of the blood
site that has not been rubbed exhibits a measurably different glucose,
If the puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference
is significantly reduced.
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of
blood:
Wash and dry your hands before starting.
