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 (neonates).
Do not use the MyGlucoHealth for any purpose other
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. Lancets must
be changed before every test and used only once, reusing lancets will af-
fect testing accuracy.
Before using the MyGlucoHealth Wireless Meter for the rst time, read all
instructions in this manual and the additional information given in instruc-
tions 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.
entrahealthsystems.com/learning.html
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 MyGlucoHealth with-
out 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 calibrated laboratory in-
struments, the MyGlucoHealth Meter meets
higher performance standards when com-
pared to many o-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 re-
sults. Keep this in mind when comparing MyGlucoHealth test read-
ings to those of whole blood calibrated meters.
A few high-end or professional quality blood glucose meters,
including the MyGlucoHealth Wireless meter, are already
calibrated or set to give a “plasma” test result, making this
conversion unnecessary. For an accurate comparison of your blood
glucose meter to a laboratory result, you must rst know how the me-
ter is calibrated.
METER
ACCURACY
note:
When comparing readings between an older meter and MyGlucoHealth
you may see dierences 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 testing 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.

USING THE
LANCING DEVICE
Unscrew the lancing device tip
and insert a lancet rmly into
the carrier.
If a lancet was previously
installed in the device, remove
the lancet and reattach the
lancet’s protective cover.
Dispose of the used lancet
safely.
1 2
Pinch the lancet and twist
o the protective cover. Do
not discard the lancet cover,
as it must be used to safely
re-cover the needle before dis-
posal. 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 re-
used 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
3 4
Screw on the lancing device tip,
covering the lancet.
The tip of the lancing device
oers 5 dierent 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.
alternate site testinG
The MyGlucoHealth Wireless meter oers the option of Alternate
Site Testing by taking blood samples from the upper arm, fore-
arm, hand, palm, thigh or calf. See pages 41-42 for information on
alternate test sites if approved by your doctor.

Place the lancing device against the tip of the nger Press the
trigger button. Your blood sample should now be ready to be ap-
plied to the test strip. Lift the lancing device out and away.
Practice using the lancing device and become familiar with its
use. Make sure your hands are clean and dry before using the
lancing device and testing.

AUTO CODE
RECOGNITION
note:
1. Do not bend the test strip.
2. If the code recognition label is damaged, code recognition
failure may occur. Check the code number on the LCD dis-
play 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 automatically
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.

1. Inserting a test strip in the wrong direction will turn the me-
ter on, but a test cannot be performed.
2. If the meter does not power ON, pull the test strip out of the
port and re-insert the strip.
3. Avoid testing in direct sunlight.

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 MyGlucoHealth
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 o to save battery life. If this hap-
pens, start the test procedure again using a new test strip.
