IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
MyGlucoHealth provides a quick and easy way for persons with
diabetes to measure and self-monitor blood glucose levels.
It should be used only for testing blood glucose (sugar) and only
with fresh capillary whole blood samples. It should not be used
for the diagnosis of diabetes or for the testing of newborns (neo-
nates).
Do not use the MyGlucoHealth for any purpose oth-
er than blood glucose testing. MyGlucoHealth is for
in vitro diagnostic use only.
note:
MyGlucoHealth is accurate provided that testing areas are clean and
dry and contain no foreign substances such as lotions or creams. Lan-
cets must be changed before every test and used only once, reusing
lancets will affect testing accuracy.
Before using the MyGlucoHealth Wireless Meter for the rst time, read
all instructions in this manual and the additional information given in
instructions for use of the test strips. Practice for accurate and safe
testing.
Complete instructional videos can be found in the QuickStart section
of the Learning Centre of the MyGlucoHealth web site at www.myglu-
cohealth.net/quickstart.
You should have oversight from your diabetes care professional for
the proper use of this meter and daily management of your diabetes.
Do not change your therapy due to blood glucose results of MyGluco-
Health without consulting your doctor.

note:
Before you use the MyGlucoHealth Wireless Meter to test your blood
for the rst time, practice the procedure using the MyGlucoHealth
Control Solution. When you have completed three tests in a row that
are within the expected range, you are ready to test your blood.

The MyGlucoHealth Wireless Meter and
strip system is one of the most accurate
personal diabetic care products on the
market today. When tested against cali-
brated laboratory instruments, the MyGlu-
coHealth Meter meets higher performance
standards when compared to many off-the-
shelf glucometers.
In glucose concentrations of less than 4,2
mmol/L, MyGlucoHealth tested within plus
or minus 6.5% of laboratory calibration,
89% of the time and within 7.5%, 100% of
the time. When testing concentrations of
greater than 4.2 mmol/L, MyGlucoHealth was within 5%, 65% of
the time, within 10%, 92% of the time and within 15%, 98% of
the time.
The MyGlucoHealth Wireless meter is plasma calibrated. This
makes results directly comparable to HbA1c test results from a
laboratory. Plasma results are approximately 12% higher than
whole blood results. Keep this in mind when comparing MyGlu-
coHealth test readings to those of whole blood calibrated meters.
A few high-end or professional quality blood glucose meters, in-
cluding the MyGlucoHealth Wireless meter, are already calibrated
or set to give a “plasma” test result, making this conversion un-
necessary. For an accurate comparison of your blood glucose
meter to a laboratory result, you must rst know how the meter
is calibrated.
METER
ACCURACY
note:
When comparing readings between an older meter and MyGluco-
Health you may see differences due to the higher accuracy standards
and plasma calibration of MyGlucoHealth.

BLOOD TEST
PROCEDURES
Materials needed for Blood tests
Before testing, be sure to carefully read this section as well as the
test strip instructions found in the test strip box.
Make sure you have all the necessary items to begin testing:
1. MyGlucoHealth Wireless
Meter
2. MyGlucoHealth Test Strip
3. Lancing Device
4. Sterile Lancet
note:
The lancing device and sterile lancets should NOT be shared with
others. To reduce the chance of infection, they are for your personal
use only.
1. Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
2. Make sure your hands are clean and completely dry before test-
ing or using your lancing device to collect a drop of blood.
3. Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt or debris on the lancets and
the lancing device.

14
USING THE
LANCING DEVICE
Unscrew the lancing device
tip and insert a lancet rmly
into the carrier.
If a lancet was previously in-
stalled in the device, remove
the lancet and reattach the
lancet’s protective cover. Dis-
pose of the used lancet safely.
1 2
Pinch the lancet and twist off
the protective cover. Do not
discard the lancet cover, as it
must be used to safely re-cov-
er the needle before disposal.
Lancets are keyed to a slot in
the lancing device.
note:
1. The instructions for collecting a drop of blood in Steps 1
through 5 relate to the MyGlucoHealth Lancing Device
that is included in the meter kit. If using another lancing
device, read and follow instructions supplied with that
device.
2. Lancing devices are for individual use only and not to
be shared. Lancets are SINGLE USE ONLY and are
not to be reused as test results will not be accurate and
BRUISING to the test area could occur. The reuse of a
single use lancet could cause unnecessary additional
pain.

15
USING THE
LANCING DEVICE

Screw on the lancing device
tip, covering the lancet.
The tip of the lancing device
offers 5 different levels of skin
penetration, to select the best
depth: Use 1 or 2 for soft or
thin skin, 3 for average skin, 4
or 5 for thick or calloused skin.
Place the lancing device
against the tip of the nger
Press the trigger button. Your
blood sample should now be
ready to be applied to the test
strip. Lift the lancing device
out and away.
alternate site testinG
The MyGlucoHealth Wireless meter offers the option of Al-
ternate Site Testing by taking blood samples from the upper
arm, forearm, hand, palm, thigh or calf. See pages 41-42 for
information on alternate test sites if approved by your doctor.
Practice using the lancing
device and become famil-
iar with its use. Make sure
your hands are clean and
dry before using the lanc-
ing device and testing.

AUTO CODE
RECOGNITION
note:
1. Do not bend the test strip.
2. If the code recognition label is damaged, code recogni-
tion failure may occur. Check the code number on the
LCD display window and match the number on the test
vial.
The MyGlucoHealth Wireless Meter features Auto Coding of Test
Strips. When a test strip is properly inserted, the meter automati-
cally recognizes the code number and sets the meter accordingly.
This prevents input and testing errors.
Simply insert the test strip into the meter with contacts down and
the MyGlucoHealth logo facing toward you.
Make sure the code number matches the code number on the test
strip vial. The test strip icon with a drop of blood will be ashing at
the top of your screen. You are now ready for testing.

TAKING A
BLOOD TEST
Using the lancing device, lance your ngertip and draw a small
drop of blood. Gently place your ngertip on the top edge of My-
GlucoHealth Test Strip. The blood will automatically draw into the
test strip channel.
Allow your nger to remain on the edge of the strip until you hear
a beep from the Meter.
note:
1. A minimal sample volume of 0.3 µL blood is required.
2. If you do not conduct the test within 3 minutes, the meter
will automatically power off to save battery life. If this
happens, start the test procedure again using a new test
strip.
