The mylife Aveo™ blood glucose monitoring system is intended for in-vitro (outside the body) diagnostic use
for self-testing and used for the quantitative measurement of the glucose level as an aid in monitoring diabetes
management. The coding of the test strips is automatically detected. The test result is plasma equivalent
and achieved by using (a) fresh capillary whole blood that may be drawn from the ngertip (b) and venous whole
blood samples if drawn by healthcare professionals.
You may consult your healthcare professional for instructions on how to use the system correctly. Our customer
support staff are available to assist you. Healthcare professionals may use the mylife Aveo™ blood glucose
monitoring system for surveillance of the blood glucose levels of patients in medical facilities.
For a better understanding of this user guide, the mylife Aveo™ blood glucose monitoring system will be referred
to as BGMS; the mylife Aveo™ blood glucose meter as meter; the mylife Aveo™ Case as case; the mylife Aveo™
test strips as test strips; the mylife Aveo™ lancing device as lancing device; the mylife™ Lancets as lancets;
the mylife Aveo™ control solution as control solution; the mylife™ App as app and the smartphone or personal
computer as mobile device.
Test principle: Glucose in blood samples reacts with the chemical reagent in the test strip to produce a small
electrical current. The mylife Aveo™ meter detects this electrical current, which reects the amount of glucose
in the blood sample.

The mylife Aveo™ test strips should be used with fresh capillary whole blood samples, or with fresh venous
whole blood if drawn by healthcare professionals.
Fresh venous whole blood specimens containing the anticoagulants EDTA and Heparin are acceptable.
Iodoacetate or uoride/oxalate are not recommended.
Do not reuse test strips.
Test strips in new, unopened vials and test strips in vials that have been opened can be used up until the
expiration date printed on the test strip box and vial label if the test strips are used according to their storage
and handling methods.
Do not use test strips past the expiration date.
Store test strips in a cool and dry place at a temperature between 1– 30 ˚C.
Keep test strips away from direct sunlight or heat and do not freeze.
Store test strips only in their original vial.
Close the vial tightly after taking out a test strip for testing and use the strip immediately.
Handle test strips only with clean and dry hands.
Do not bend, cut, or alter test strips in any way.
Keep the meter and testing supplies away from young children.
Drying agents in the vial cap may be harmful if inhaled or swallowed and may cause skin or eye irritation.

The lancing device is for use by a single user only and should not be shared with anyone.
Use a soft cloth or tissue to wipe the lancing device. If necessary, a small amount of alcohol on a soft cloth
or tissue may be used.
To avoid infection when drawing a sample, do not use a lancet more than once and do not use
a lancet that has been used by others. Always use a new sterile lancet and keep the lancing device clean.
Repeated puncturing at the same sample site may cause pain or skin calluses (thick hard skin). Choose a
different site each time you test.
The blood glucose test results of blood samples taken from different sites may vary in certain conditions;
rapid changes in glucose levels following a drink or a meal, an insulin dose or exercise may be seen. Only
the ngertips should be used.

15
Wash hands and sample
site with soap and
warm water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
How to perform a blood glucose measurement
Take off the end cap by
turning both parts smoothly
in opposite directions.
Twist off and set aside
the protective cap of the
disposable lancet.
Insert a new disposable
lancet rmly into the lancet
carrier.
Close the end cap by
smoothly turning both parts
into lock position.

16
Choose the penetration depth by turning the device cap. 1 for soft or thin skin;
3 for average skin; 5 for thick or calloused skin. Finer adjustments can be made by using
the grid between 1, 3 and 5.
Prime the lancing device by
pulling the sliding barrel.

click!
17
Take one test strip from the
vial and close the cap of
the vial. Insert the test strip
into the test strip port
on the meter. The meter will
automatically activate.
Once the strip is inserted, the meter turns on, a beep signal is
issued (if volume is turned on) and the strip gets initialised
while the progress is visualised on the display . When the
meter is ready to apply blood onto the strip, the test strip
symbol will appear on the screen with the blood drop
ashing.
Obtain a blood sample
using the lancing device.
Hold the nger on the
lancing device and click
the release button.

If the conrmation window is not lled in time because of
abnormal viscosity (thickness and stickiness) or insufcient
volume, the Er4 message may appear.
The meter may switch off if the blood sample is not applied
within 2 minutes of the symbol appearing on the screen.
If the meters and test strips are exposed to considerable
temperature variation, please wait 30 minutes at room tem-
perature before performing the measurement.
Please note that the BGMS contains small parts (e.g. test
strips) which are a potential choking hazard for children.
18
Recommended sites for
obtaining blood.
Gently squeeze your nger-
tip to get a drop of blood.
You need a minimum volume
of 0.5 microliter for blood
glucose test. Apply the
blood drop to the narrow
edge of the test strip.

19
During the time the blood is
going into the test strip, the
segments will rotate clock-
wise. When the conrma-
tion window of the strip is
completely lled with blood,
you will hear a beep (if the
volume of the meter is
switched on) and the meas-
urement process starts.
The countdown mode will
start on the display.
After 5 seconds, the test
result will appear.
When the target range indication is set (see page 33), you will
also get an indication if your measurement is above
or below the blood glucose target range with every blood
glucose result. When your blood glucose is within your
dened range, there is no indication.

20
You can set a marker to a blood glucose test result to indicate particular situations. You can set up one marker per measurement. Select the marker by
using the left or right button and conrm the marker by pressing the main button. You can choose between the pre-meal marker (which is ashing
by default), a post-meal marker , a fasting marker or no marker.
If you do not wish a marker, either select “no marker” by using the left or right button or wait for 10 seconds (no matter which marker is currently ashing).
When the meter is paired with a mobile device, Bluetooth® gets automatically activated to transfer data after the marker setting (see page 23).
