2. Introduction
Why test for glucose?
lucose test system is intended to measure
glucose in whole blood.This glucose measurement is used in
self-monitoring of glucose levels and is intended for use outside
the body, i.e.,for in vitro diagnostic use only.
If you are diagnosed with diabetes, your doctor will let you
know what you should do to manage your diabetes. Your
doctor may suggest glucose monitoring. You can use the
information from glucose testing to help follow your doctor's
instructions.
Blood glucose results less than 50mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L) or more
than 250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L) indicate that there may be a
serious health problem. In these cases, contact your doctor and
make sure you follow his or her advice. It is important to make
no changes in your diet or medication except on your doctor's
advice.
This User Guide has been prepared to describe the proper use
of Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
Please read this User Guide and the package insert that comes
with Smartest Glucose Test Strips carefully before testing.
To begin testing, you will need the following items:
1. Glucose Meter
2. Battery
3. Smartest Glucose Test Strips with Code Key
4. Check Strip
5. Lancets and Lancing Device
6. Smartest Control Solution
Glucose Meter uses Smartest Test Strips.Neither
the meter nor the test strips will work when used with any other
brand of glucose testing products.

The principle of the method
When glucose reacts with the reagents on the test strips, an electrical current is
produced, which is proportional to the glucose concentration in the blood sample.
The glucose concentration is calculated by the meter and based on the current
measured.

If there is a code key in the meter, remove it.
3.Find the new Code key in the strip box or starter kit.
4.Insert the code key into the meter (as picture).
5.Make sure that the code number on the meter display
matches the code number on the test strip vial.
Failure to code the meter correctly will cause
inaccurate test results.
6.Leave the code key in the meter until you open the
next new box of test strips.
7.Once the code is set, you may begin testing. (Refer
to page 11 for Control Solution Testing and page
14~16 for Blood Glucose Testing.)
1.Make sure the meter is off.
2.
(Note:If you see a code “ ” with date and time on
the display, plese insert a code key into the meter.)

(1) Insert a strip that has the identical
code with the code key. The code
number of the code key will be
displayed with a beep. Wait until the
blood drop icon appears. Press the C
key, and the meter will display a letter
“C”, on the left hand side of the blood
drop icon, indicating the control test
mode. The test data will not be stored
in the memory.
(2)Squeeze a small amount of Control
Solution on a flat surface and apply
to the front edge of the test strip.
You will hear another beep to let
you know the test is starting.
( )3 Wait for 15 seconds, and the meter
will display the result with two beeps.
IMPORTANT:
Always make sure you press C key for Control Solution test,
otherwise the control solution test result will be memoried and
affect your “AVG” results. Control Test only runs properly
when you use the code key that has the same code number as the
strips. (The strip code number will be printed on the strip vial
label.)

12
PR8898-M01A1
Important Control Solution Test Information:
1.You must push the C key to distinguish the control
solution test from the blood glucose test. Do not
perform the blood test in Control Solution mode.
(If you perform the blood test in Control Solution
mode, and the test result will not be memoried.)
2. Use only Smartest Control Solution with Smartest
Glucose Meter.
3.Smartest control solutions are used to check that
the meter and the test strips are working together
as a system and that you are performing the test
correctly.
4.Smartest control solution contain a known amount
of glucose that reacts with Test strips.
The Medium and High level Control Solution are
intended to check the Monitoring system in
different measurement ranges.
5.Control Solution, meter, and test strips should
come to room temperature (20~25℃ or 68~77℉)
before testing.
6.Shake the vial, discard the first drop of control
solution, and wipe off the Dispenser tip to ensure
a good sample and an accurate result.
7. Use only for 90 days after first opening. Record
the discard date (date opened plus 90 days)on the
control solution vial. Discard after 90 days.

13
8. Compare your control solution test results with
the expected range printed on the test strip vial
label. If your glucose control results fall outside
the expected range; repeat the test. Results that
repeatedly fall outside the expected range may
indicate:
(1)You may not be doing the test correctly; repeat
the test, carefully following instructions.
(2)Your meter is not coded for the strips you are
using.
(3)The control solution is expired or contaminated.
(4)The test strips are damaged or outdated.
(5)Meter malfunction.

A. Using the Meter Memory
The test result will be stored in the memory automatically
after the reading is displayed.
B. Recalling the Test Results from the Meter Memory
1.Press M key to turn on the meter. After a brief full
display, the last test result is displayed. If there is no
memoried result, “nUL” is displayed and the meter
will turn off after 5 seconds.
2.Press M and C key to review your test results backwards
and forwards.
3.To turn off the meter, press M key for 2 seconds, or the
meter will turn off automatically after 20 seconds.
4.Smartest glucose meter stores the last 1,000 test results
with time and date. When the meter has 1,000 results in
the memory, the oldest result will be deleted
automatically and the newest result is stored as the
first result.
5.To display the average (AVG) test result, while the
meter is off, hold both M and C keys down at the
same time for about 2 seconds, then release.

6.When the AVG is displayed, press the M key to show
the average result for the last 7 days AVG. Continue
pressing the M key to display the prior four 7 days
Average, 7 days Maximum (Max), 7 days Minimum
(Min), 14 days Average and 28 days Average results.
Press C key to view previous results in order.
7.Press the M key for two seconds to exit the recall
mode and turn off the meter.
8.When "nUL" is displayed, there is no data in the
memory.
Calculations:
The 7 days Average is the Average of the last 7 days
test results.
The 14 days Average is the Average of two 7 days
Averages.
The 28 days Average is the Average of four 7 days
Averages.
Note: 1. HI/LO results are stored in the memory, but
are not used in calculating averages.
2. Don't insert the strip into the meter when
you want to recall the test results.
