instructions for use for
more information about
sample types.
Potential Infection Risk:

How Your Optium Xceed
Diabetes Monitoring
System Works
When you insertan electrode
into your monitor, the Apply
Blood message shows on your
monitor’s display window.
When a blood sample or
control solution sample is
applied to the electrode, the
glucose or ß-Ketone reacts with
the chemicals on the electrode.
This reaction produces a
small electrical current that is
measured. The result shows on
your monitor’s display window.
