NOTES ON SAFETY
Please read this section carefully to familiarize
yourself with the features and operations before
using the unit.
1. Do not allow other people to use your blood
glucose meter. The meter is specifically
assigned to you and you only. Allowing
other people to use your meter can mislead
your provider.
2. All parts of the kit are considered
biohazardous and can potentially transmit
infectious diseases, even after you have
cleaned and disinfected all parts.
3. Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
4. Do not place the device in liquid or put it
where it could fall into the liquid.
5. Use of this device is only for the intended
use described in this manual.
6. Only use AndesFit testing strips supplied by
RCP.
7. Do not allow the device to contact
surfaces that are too hot to touch.
8. Do not use the device where aerosol sprays
are being used.

9. Do not use the device if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged.
10. Read the entire manual before using the
product to test your blood glucose.
11. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
1. Open the battery cover on the back of
the meter.
2. If replacing the batteries, remove the
used batteries.
3. Insert 2 new (AAA) batteries with
correct +/- direction.
4. Close the battery cover.
Handling batteries properly
As soon as old batteries run out, replace them
with new batteries.
•Do not use old and new batteries together.
•Align the polarities of batteries correctly.
•When the unit will not be used for more than 3
months, remove the batteries. Otherwise,
batteries may leak and cause damage to the
unit.

QUICK START
Prepare: Wash your hands with soap and water. Dry
thoroughly.
Gather supplies: Lancing device, lancet, tissue (for
blotting blood from your finger after the puncture).
Prepare the lancing device: Unscrew the cap, push
the lancet firmly into the device, remove the rounded
end of the lancet by turning (save this piece), screw
the cap back on, and adjust the puncture depth
(usually 3).
Prepare the meter: Insert a test strip into the meter.
When looking at the screen of the meter, the blue
side of the strip should be facing you. The arrow on
the strip should be pointing down so that the contact
bars of the test strip are going into the meter. Push the
strip into the meter until it stops and the meter turns
on.
Perform the test: Place the lancet device on the
finger you wish to use and press the blue button.
Place a drop of blood into the absorbent hole of the
test strip. Use the tissue to absorb any extra blood
from your finger. The reading will display in the LCD
window within 5 seconds.
Cleanup up: Unscrew the lancet device cap, use the
long blue slider to eject the lancet into a sharps
container or stab the lancet into the rounded end
piece that was saved in step 3, pull out the testing
strip from the meter and throw it away.

INTRODUCTION
Intended Use
•This meter is intended for self-testing by
people with diabetes at home as an aid to
monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.
It should be used only for testing glucose
(sugar) and only with fresh capillary whole
blood samples taken from the finger and the
alternative sites including the palm, the
forearm. It should not be used for the
diagnosis or screening of diabetes. This meter
is not for use with newborns.
•Alternative site testing should be done only
during steady-state times (when glucose is
not changing rapidly).
•The ADF-B27GTS Test Strips are the only strips
to be used with this meter.
HOW IT WORKS
The test is based on the measurement of electrical
current generated by the reaction of glucose with the
reagent of the strip. The meter measures the current
and displays the corresponding blood glucose level.
The strength of the current produced by the reaction
depends on the amount of glucose in the blood
sample.

ALTERNATIVE SITE TESTING (AST)
AST can be used only during steady-state blood
glucose conditions described in the section of “About
AST”.
Important: There are limitations
for using AST.
Please consult your healthcare
professional before you do AST.
What is AST?
Alternative site testing (AST)
means that people use parts of
the body other than the
fingertips to check their blood
glucose levels. This meter
allows you to test on the palm
or the forearm with the
equivalent results to fingertips
testing.
The Advantage of AST
Fingertips feel pain more readily because they
are full of nerve endings (receptors). At other
body sites, since nerve endings are not so
condensed, you will not feel as much pain as at
the fingertip.
When to use AST
Food, medication, illness, stress, and exercise can
affect blood glucose levels. Capillary blood at
the fingertip reflects these changes faster than
capillary blood at other sites. Therefore, when
testing blood glucose during or immediately after
