Important Information: Read This First
To receive safe and optimum system benefits, please read the
entire manual contents before using the system. Please note the
following information.
• Do not use the system for diagnosis or screening of diabetes.
• Use only fresh capillary whole blood samples for testing.
• Alternate site and fingertip test results may differ significantly
due to rapid changes in the blood glucose level after eating,
insulin injection or exercise.
Intended Use
• The ReliOn™ Premier Voice Blood Glucose Monitoring System is
intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh
capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips and
alternate sites such as the forearm, palm, thigh and calf.
• Alternate site testing should be used only during steady-state
blood glucose conditions.
• The ReliOn™ Premier Voice Blood Glucose Monitoring System is
intended for at-home in vitro (outside the body) self-testing by
people with diabetes as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness
of diabetes control.
• The system is intended to be used by a single person and
should not be shared.
• The system is not intended for use on neonates, and is not for
the diagnosis or screening of diabetes.

5
• ReliOn™ Premier Blood Glucose Test Strips are for use with the
ReliOn™ Premier Voice Blood Glucose Meter to quantitatively
measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn
from the fingertips and alternate sites.
• ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions are for use with the ReliOn™
Premier Voice Meter and ReliOn™ Premier Test Strips to check
that the meter and test strips are working together properly,
and that the test is performing correctly.
• The ReliOn™ Premier Voice Blood Glucose Monitoring System
is intended for in vitro (outside the body) diagnostic use only
and for the quantitative measurement of glucose in capillary
whole blood.
• The
ReliOn™ Premier Voice Blood Glucose Monitoring System
is intended for use by a single user only. Do not share the
meter and lancing device with another person.
• The
ReliOn™ Premier Voice Blood Glucose Meter is designed
to minimize code-related errors in monitoring by using the
no-coding function.
• Glucose in blood samples reacts with the chemical in the
test strip to produce a small electrical current. The
ReliOn™
Premier Voice Meter converts this electrical current to
glucose concentration.
• The
ReliOn™ Premier Voice Blood Glucose Meter should be
used only with the ReliOn™ Premier Test Strips.
• An abnormally high or low red blood cell count (hematocrit
level over 60% or below 20%) may produce inaccurate results.
Important Health-related Information

hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.
• Inaccurate results may occur in patients undergoing
oxygen therapy.
• Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood
glucose meters.

Checking the System
ReliOn™ Premier Voice Meter and Test Strips should
be checked using ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions,
available in two levels (Level 1 and 2). ReliOn™ Premier
Control Solutions contain known amounts of glucose
and are used to check that the meter and test strips
are working properly.
The test strip vials have ReliOn™ Premier Control
Solution ranges printed on their labels. Compare the
result displayed on the meter to the control solution
range printed on the test strip vial.
Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips, you should
conduct a control solution test following the procedure on
pages 20-22 with ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions.
NOTE
• Use ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions only.
• Check the expiration dates printed on the bottle. When the
control solution bottle is first opened, record the discard
date (date opened plus three (3) months) in the space
provided on the label.
• Make sure the meter, test strips and control solutions are
at room temperature before testing. Control solution tests
must be done at room temperature (68–77˚F, 20–25˚C).
• Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard
the first 1 or 2 drops and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a
temperature between 46–86˚F (8–30˚C).

20
Use ReliOn™ Premier Control Solution when:
• You want to practice the test procedure, instead of using blood
• You use the meter for the first time
• You begin using a new vial of test strips
• You suspect that the meter or the strips are not
working properly
• You think your test results are inaccurate or they
do not reflect how you feel
• The meter is dropped or damaged
Step 1
Insert a test strip into the meter’s test strip
port, with the contact bars facing upwards.
Gently push the test strip into the port until
the meter automatically turns on and the
symbol appears. If the talking function is on,
the meter will say “Blood glucose test. Please
apply blood onto the test strip.”
