children. Small items such as the battery cover, batteries,
test strips, lancets and vial caps are choking hazards.
The use of this instrument in a dry environment,
especially if synthetic materials are present (synthetic
clothing, carpets etc.) may cause damaging static
discharges that may cause erroneous results.
DO NOT use this instrument in close proximity to sources
of strong electromagnetic radiation as these may
interfere with the correct operation.
Proper maintenance as well as timely calibration of the
device together with the control solution is essential in
ensuring the longevity of your device. If you are
concerned about the accuracy of the measurement,
please contact customer service for assistance on
1800 451 737.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE
Keep the device and testing supplies away from young

3
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause
readings which are lower than actual values. If you
believe you are suffering from severe dehydration,
consult a healthcare professional immediately.
If your blood glucose or β-Ketone results are lower or
higher than usual and you do not have symptoms of
illness, first repeat the test. If you have symptoms or
continue to get results which are higher or lower than
usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare
professional.
Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood
glucose or β-Ketone. Using other substances will lead to
inaccurate results.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent
with your blood glucose or β-Ketone test results and you
have followed all the instructions described in this
owner’s manual, contact your healthcare professional.
We do not recommend using this product on severely
hypotensive individuals or patients in shock. Readings
which are lower than actual values may occur for
individuals experiencing a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar
state, with or without ketosis. Please consult your
healthcare professional before use.

INTRODUCTION
This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro
diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by
healthcare professionals in clinical settings as an aid to
monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is intended
to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose
(sugar) with capillary from fingertip, venous, arterial and to
measure β-hydroxybutyrate (Ketone) in fresh whole blood
samples from the finger. It should not be used for the
diagnosis of diabetes or screening for diabetes mellitus.
Professionals may test blood glucose with capillary sampling
from a finger tip or with venous, arterial and neonatal blood
from the heel. Test β-Ketone with a capillary sampling from
the fingertip. Use only heparin for anticoagulation of whole
blood.
Home use is limited to capillary blood from the fingertip.
Your system measures the amount of glucose or β-Ketone in
whole blood. The glucose or β-Ketone testing is based on the
measurement of electrical current generated by the reaction
of glucose or β-Ketone with the reagent of the strip. The
meter measures the current, calculates the blood glucose or
β-Ketone level and displays the result. The strength of the
current produced by the reaction depends on the amount of
glucose or β-Ketone in the blood sample.

BEFORE TESTING
You must calibrate the device every time you begin to use a
newbox of β-Ketone test strips by setting the meter with the
correct code. To ensure test accuracy, make sure the code
number displayed on the display screen matches the number
printed on the test strip vial or individual foil pack.
1. Insert the β-Ketone strip into the test strip slot of the
device. Wait for the device to display the code number.
Important
Make sure that the code number displayed on the device
matches the number on the test strip vial or individual foil
pack before you proceed.
2. Remove the β-Ketone strip, the display will show “OFF”
indicating the device has finished coding and ready for
β-Ketone or blood glucose testing.
Make sure the code number on display and test strip vial or

If it matches, you can proceed with your test. Otherwise,
please stop testing and repeat the calibration procedure. If
the problem persists, contact customer service for further
assistance.
Important
It is important to make sure that the LCD display code is
the same as the code on the test strip vial or individual foil
pack before testing. Failure to do so will cause inaccurate
results.
Our Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose or
β-Ketone that reacts with test strips and is used to ensure
your device and test strips are working together correctly.
Test strips, control solutions or sterile lancets 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 blood glucose test beforehand.
Control Solution Testin
g

13
Do a control solution test when:
you first receive the device.
you begin using a new vial of test strips.
you suspect the device or test strips are not working
properly.
your blood glucose or β-Ketone test results are not
consistent with how you feel or if you think the results
are not accurate.
you have dropped or think you may have damaged the
device.
Perform a control solution test:
1. Insert the test strip into the test strip slot of the device.
Wait for the device to display the test strip “ ”and
blooddrop “ ”.
2. The meter will detect the difference between control
solution and blood samples automatically. It will
automatically mark the result as a control solution test
with “QC” displayed.
3. Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before use.
Squeeze out a drop and wipe it off then squeeze another
drop and place it on the tip of the vial cap. Hold the
device to move the absorbent hole of the test strip to

14
touch the drop of control solution. Once the confirmation
window is filled completely, the device will begin counting
down.
Note:
To avoid contaminating the control solution, do not directly
apply the control solution onto a strip.
4. Read and compare the result. After counting down to 0,
the test result of the control solution will appear on the
display. Compare this result with the range printed on the
test strip vial or individual foil pack and it should fall
within this range. If the test result is out of range, read
the instructions again and repeat the control solution
test.
Note:
Control solution test results are stored in the memory.
The control solution range printed on the test strip vial or
