Intended Use
The system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only).
It should be used only for testing blood glucose (blood sugar) and only with fresh
capillary whole blood samples. The system is intended for use in the home and in
clinical settings. It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for the testing of
newborns.
Principle of Measurement
Blood glucose is measured by an electrical current that is produced when a blood
Getting To Know Your System
The Medicare Blood Glucose Monitoring System-LiS
The Medicare System-LiS system uses the latest technology to provide you with
easy and comfortable testing. The system requires only a 0.3 μL of blood sample to
complete the testing in only 6 seconds.
samples mixes with the reagent (special chemicals) of the test strip. The electrical
current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample. The Medicare System-
LiS meter measures the strength of the electrical current, calculates your blood glucose
level and then displays your result in either milligrams of glucose per deciliter (mg/dL) or
millimoles of glucose per liter (mmol/L).
Caution
1. The user should not take any decision of medical relevance without rst consulting
his or her medical practitioner.
2. Call your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms that are not consistent with
your blood glucose test results.
3. High altitudes above than 3,402 meter (11,161 ft) may affect the test results.
4. Temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F) may affect the test
results. Do not test beyond of temperature range.
IMPORTANT HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION
1. Apply only capillary whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. Applying other
substances or plasma, serum will cause wrong results.
2. Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. If
you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult your healthcare
professional immediately.
3. Test results below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L)*1 indicates low blood glucose
(hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L)*2 indicates high
blood glucose (hyperglycemia).If your results are below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or
above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), repeat the test, and if the results are still below
60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), consult your healthcare
professional immediately.
4. Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or patients
in shock. Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing a
hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients
should not be tested with blood glucose meters.
5. Abnormal red blood cell counts (hematocrit level below 20% or above 60%) may
cause false results. Please consult your healthcare professional if you do not know
your hematocrit level.
6. Interference: Reducing substances occurring in the blood naturally (uric acid,
bilirubin) or from therapeutic treatments (ascorbic acid, acetaminophen) will
not significantly affect Medicare System-LiS test results. However, elevated
concentrations of these substances may affect test results. The compounds listed
in the tables were found to have no affect at the concentration indicated.

Control Solution Testing
If your Medicare control solution did not come with an Medicare control solution
Instruction, the following information shall take the place of the instruction.
Medicare control solutions contain a pre-set amount of glucose that reacts with
OKmeter test strips. By testing your control solution and comparing the test results
with the expected range printed on the test strip vial label, you can make sure that the
meter and the test strips are working properly together as a system and that you are
performing the test correctly.
Why perform a control solution test?
1. To ensure that your meter and test strip are working properly together.
2. To allow you to practice testing without using your own blood.
When should the control solution test be performed?
1. Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.
2. When your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel, or
when you think your results are not accurate.
3. When test strips are exposed to extreme environmental conditions.
4. If you drop the meter.
5. After changing the battery.
Important Control Solution Information
1. Check the expiration date on the control solution bottle. Do not use if expired.
2. Control solution, meter, and test strips should come to room temperature (68-
77 ºF/20-25ºC) before testing.
3. Shake the bottle before use, discard the first drop of control solution after
squeezing, wipes off the dispenser tip to avoid contaminations. These steps
ensure you will get a good sample and an accurate result.
4. Record the discard date on the bottle when you open a new bottle of control
solution.
NOTE : 1. There are two levels of control solution (normal and high) available to purchase.
Please contact with your local distributor when required.
2. The control solution range printed on the test strip vial is for Medicare control solution
only. It is used to test meter and strip performance. It is not recommended range for
your blood glucose level.
Composition:
1. D-Glucose
2. Polyvinyl acetate (aqueous emulsion)
3. Fumed silica
4. Sodium Benzoate
5. Disodium EDTA
6. Food Pigment Red No.6
7. Antifoaming agent
(Polyethylene Glycol 4000)
How to Perform a Control Test
NOTE : 1. Be sure that you are in Control Solution Mode so that the test result will not be stored
in themeter memory.
2. DO NOT APPLY THE CONTROL SOLUTION DIRECTLY TO THE TEST STRIP!
Overdosed solution may give inaccurate result.
3. Repeat test if test result falls outside the control range stated on the test strip label. If
subsequent test remains to produce unacceptable result, the meter or test strip may
be faulty. DO NOT use the system. Contact us or your local distributor for help.
1. Insert Test Strip : Insert a new test strip into the strip slot,
the meter will activate.
2. Mark as a Control Solution Test : After the blood
symbol( ) appears, press M BUTTON and a CONTROL
SOLUTION TEST SYMBOL( ) shows up, now you are in
the Control Solution Mode. The meter will not store your
test result in the memory when you preset the test as a
control solution test. If you decide not to perform a control
solution test, press M BUTTON again and the CONTROL
SOLUTION TEST SYMBOL ( ) will disappear.
3. Squeeze a drop of Control Solution : Shake control
solution bottle well. Remove the cap. Squeeze bottle,
discard the rst drop and wipe off the dispenser tip with
a clean tissue paper or cotton swab. Squeeze a drop on
clean bottle cap/ngertip /non-absorbent surface.
4. Apply Control Solution : Apply the drop to the opening
of the strip absorbent channel until the confirmation
window is lled. The meter begins to count down.
5. Check if the test result is in range: After the meter
counts down, the test result shows up. Compare the test
result with the range printed on the test strip vial. The
result should fall within the printed range.

Understanding Your Test Result
The normal blood glucose range is below 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) for a
fasting, non-diabetic adult, but less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) two hours
after meals.* Consult your healthcare professional to nd out your target blood
glucose value.
If your blood glucose result seems unusually high or low, or inconsistent with
your previous results, check the following:
1. Was the blood sample applied immediately to the test strip after removing it
from the vial?
2. Was the volume of the blood sample sufcient?
3. Was the test strip vial cap tightly sealed?
4. Was the test strip used before the expiration date?
5. Were the test strips stored away from extreme temperatures in very cold or
hot weather or from areas of high humidity?
Then run a control test with Medicare control solution. If the control test result
is within the acceptable range, review testing procedure and repeat your blood
glucose test with a new test strip. If your blood glucose value is still inconsistent
with your previous results, glucose trend, or how you feel, contact your doctor
immediately for help.
