Important Safety Information
The ReliOn Platinum System
The ReliOn Platinum Blood Glucose
Monitoring System is comprised of the
ReliOn Platinum meter and ReliOn
Platinum test strips.
The ReliOn Platinum Blood Glucose
Monitoring System is intended to
quantitatively measure glucose in fresh
capillary whole blood from the fingertip as
an aid in monitoring the eectiveness of
glucose control.
The ReliOn Platinum Blood Glucose
Monitoring System is intended for in vitro
diagnostic single patient use by people
with diabetes at home.
The ReliOn Platinum Blood Glucose
Monitoring System is intended to be used
by a single person and should not be
shared.
This system is not for use in diagnosis or
screening of diabetes mellitus, nor for
neonatal use.
ReliOn Platinum control solutions are for
use with the ReliOn Platinum Blood
Glucose Monitoring System to check that
the meters and test strips are working
together properly and that the test is
performing correctly.
The system includes:
ReliOn Platinum meter with batteries,
ReliOn Platinum test strips*, and control
solutions*.
Alternative Site Testing
Limitations
The ReliOn Platinum Blood Glucose
Monitoring System is not indicated for
Alternative Site Testing (AST).
*Some items may not be included in the
kit. They are a separate purchase.
WARNING
• Choking hazard. Small
parts. Keep away from
children under the age
of 3 years.
• Keep new and used batteries away
from children. Ingestion or insertion
into the body may cause chemical
burns, perforation of soft tissues, and
death. Severe burns may occur
within 2 hours of swallowing. If you
think a battery might have been
swallowed or placed inside any part
of the body, seek medical attention
immediately.
• If the battery compartment does not
close securely, stop using the
product and keep it away from
children. Contact Customer Service
at 1-800-819-1097.
NOTE
• The term “blood glucose” is used
when referring to blood sugar.
• Sample data screens are shown
throughout the manual. Your data will
dier.
Limitations
• Do not use the meter at high hematocrit
levels above 65 % or low hematocrit
levels below 10 %.
• Not for use in diagnosis or screening of
diabetes mellitus.
• Not for neonatal use.

Important Safety Information
• Abnormally high concentrations (greater
than 5 mg/dL) of ascorbic acid (vitamin C )
may cause inaccurate results. High-dose
vitamin C therapy that would result in
abnormally high concentrations is
typically prescribed by your healthcare
professional. If you are not sure if this
applies to you, please check with your
healthcare professional.
• Do not use the meter system to measure
blood glucose in people who are
experiencing cardiovascular collapse
(severe shock) or decreased peripheral
blood flow.
• Do not use during or soon after xylose
absorption testing since xylose may
cause inaccurate results. Xylose
absorption testing is performed under
the supervision of a doctor. Ask your
doctor how long to wait after xylose
testing before performing a blood
glucose test.
• Not for use on critically ill patients,
patients in shock, dehydrated patients,
or hyperosmolar patients with or without
ketosis.
• This system has not been tested at
altitudes higher than 10,150 feet. Do not
use the system at altitudes above
10,150 feet.

About Testing Yourself or Others
WARNING
• DO NOT CHANGE YOUR THERAPY
BASED ON A TEST RESULT THAT
DOES NOT MATCH HOW YOU FEEL
OR IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR TEST
RESULT COULD BE INCORRECT.
• It is strongly recommended to have a
back-up testing method available.
Failure to test could cause a delay in
therapy decisions and lead to a
serious medical condition. Examples
of back-up testing methods include a
back-up meter and test strips. Ask
your healthcare professional or
pharmacist about other possible
back-up methods.
• If your blood glucose result does not
match how you feel and you have
followed the instructions in this
User’s Manual, follow your healthcare
professional’s instructions, or contact
your healthcare professional.
WARNING
• During normal testing, any blood
glucose meter may come in contact
with blood. All parts of the kit are
considered biohazardous and can
potentially transmit infectious
diseases from bloodborne
pathogens, even after you have
performed cleaning and disinfecting.
1,2
• The meter should never be used by
more than one person. Do not share
the meter with anyone, including
family members, due to the risk of
infection from bloodborne
83561_09410155001A EN ReliON.indd 383561_09410155001A EN ReliON.indd 3 3/23/2022 11:23:35 AM3/23/2022 11:23:35 AM

Important Safety Information
pathogens.1,2 Do not use on multiple
patients!
• Use of this device on multiple
patients may lead to transmission of
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Hepatitis B
Virus (HBV), or other bloodborne
pathogens.
• Cleaning and disinfecting the meter
destroys most, but not necessarily
all, bloodborne pathogens.3
• If the meter is being operated by a
second person who is providing
testing assistance to the user, the
meter should be cleaned and
disinfected prior to use by the
second person.
• Disinfect the meter before allowing
anyone else to handle it. Do not allow
anyone else to test with the meter.
• It is important to keep the meter
clean and disinfected. For
instructions on how to clean and
disinfect the meter, see the chapter
Meter Cleaning and Disinfecting.
• Wash hands and dry thoroughly
before and after handling the meter
or test strips.
NOTE
• Perform a control test when you
open a new test strip box or if you
think that a test result is incorrect.
Performing a control test lets you
know that the meter and test strips
are working properly.
• Refer to the test strip and control
solution package inserts for
additional health-related information.
• Blood glucose and BG are
interchangeable and mean the same
thing.
Special Information for
Caregivers
• Consult your healthcare professional to
determine if it is appropriate for your
child to be taught how to use the meter
system or any other medical products.
• Some people with diabetes do not
experience symptoms of low blood
glucose (hypoglycemia). Others, such as
children or people who are unconscious
or have certain disabilities, may not be
able to communicate their symptoms to
caregivers. For these reasons, do not
change any therapy without first talking
to a healthcare professional.
Before You Start Testing
WARNING
• Carefully read and follow the
instructions in the User’s Manual and
package inserts for the test strips
and control solutions. It is very
important to follow the instructions in
order to avoid an incorrect test result
that may lead to improper therapy.
• The meter, test strips, and control
solution are only for use outside the
body (in vitro). Do not eat the test

Target Range
WARNING
This function is no substitute for
hypoglycemia training by your
healthcare professional.
Consult your healthcare professional for
the blood glucose range appropriate for
you. It is very important to stay within your
target range.
The target range is set by default at
70–180 mg/dL. The target range can be
set from a lower limit of 60–140 mg/dL to
an upper limit of 90–300 mg/dL. Consult
your healthcare professional before
changing the target range.
To change the target range, pair the meter
to a mobile device, or connect it to a PC
with diabetes management software
installed. Then follow the diabetes
management software or mobile app
instructions. Functionality may vary by
software or mobile app. For questions,
contact Customer Service at
1-800-819-1097.
