CHAPTER 1. Understanding New Analyzer

1. Indication for Use; Purpose of the Analyzer

The STANDARD LipidoCare Analyzer is designed to measure the quantitative measurement of the blood parameters: Total Cholesterol(‘TC’), Triglycerides(‘TG’),

High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol(‘HDL’), calculated ‘LDL’, ‘LDL/HDL’, ‘non-HDL’ and glucose. This system is intended for in vitro diagnostic use to test fresh

capillary whole blood, venous whole blood plasma or serum. The STANDARD LipidoCare Lipid Test system should be only used with the STANDARD LipidoCare

Lipid Test Strip and either the STANDARD LipidoCare Blood Glucose Test Strip or the SD Codefree Blood Glucose Test strip. The system is suitable for professional

use as well as for self-testing, and is a valuable tool in monitoring diabetes and cholesterol levels, but it is not intended to diagnose diabetes or cholesterol-

related cases.

2. Test principle

LIPID

By means of a codechip, the Analyzer reads the lot-specic characteristics of the lipid test strips currently in use. Then an unused test strip is inserted into the

Analyzer. While inserted, the application area of the test strip is illuminated by an LED (light-emitting diode) from below. Before the actual measurement is

performed, the reection behaviour of the test strip is determined by means of the light which is reected (from the application area).The blood sample is then

applied to the application area and the measurement chamber ap is closed. The constituent to be determined in the applied sample undergoes an enzymatic

reaction with formation of a dye.The amount of dye formed increases with the concentration of the substance to be determined. After a certain period of time,

the colour intensity is measured by illuminating the application area again from below using the LED. The intensity of the reected light is measured with a

detector (reectance photometry). The measured value is determined from the signal strength of the reected light, with the previously measured blank value

and the read lot-specic information (codechip) also being considered. Finally, the result is displayed and simultaneously stored in the memory.

GLUCOSE

The glucose test strip is designed with an electrode that measures glucose levels. Glucose in the blood sample mixes with reagent on the test strip that causes

a small electric current. The amount of current that is created depends on how much glucose is in the blood. The STANDARD LipidoCare Analyzer measures the

current that is created and converts the measurement to the amount of glucose that is in the blood. The blood glucose result is displayed on the LCD display. By

touching a drop of blood to the tip of the glucose test strip, the strip’s reaction chamber automatically draws the blood into the strip through capillary action.

When the chamber is full, the STANDARD LipidoCare Analyzer starts to measure the blood glucose level.

3. Before You Start Testing

Carefully read and follow the instructions in the measuring and package inserts for the lipid test strips and control solutions. It is very

important to follow the instructions in order to prevent an incorrect result or improper treatment.

Samples

Lipid

The STANDARD LipidoCare Analyzer for lipid testing is designed for measuring fresh capillary whole blood or venous blood (venous whole blood, serum or

plasma) sample.

* Professional use only for venous blood.

Glucose

The STANDARD LipidoCare Analyzer for glucose is designed for testing fresh capillary whole blood samples (for example, blood from your ngertip, palm, upper

arm, or forearm). Do not use the STANDARD LipidoCare Analyzer for glucose of serum or plasma or arterial, venous whole blood.

Refer to the Safety Information

There is a potential risk of infection. We recommend that healthcare professionals using the STANDARD LipidoCare Analyzer to perform measurements for more

than one patient use gloves and follow all other locally applicable health and safety regulations.

Operating conditions

To ensure proper function of your STANDARD LipidoCare Analyzer, observe the following guidelines:

• Operate the analyzer only with the acceptable environmental conditions; temperature: 5°C to 45°C, humidity: maximum relative humidity 80 % for

temperatures up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 39% relative humidity at 45°C, altitude: up to 3,776m.

• In order to perform a measurement, place the Analyzer on a level surface or hold it in your hand.

3. Running a test - Lipid

Test Procedure

Check the following before performing a measurement:

1. Are date and time correct?

2. Does the battery symbol appear? If it appears, only a few more measurements can be performed. Replace the batteries as soon as possible.

3. Check the expiration date of the lipid test strip. Always use lipid test strips which are not expired.

4. Check the code number on the analyzer. Ensure it matches the code number on the codechip.

5. With lipid and glucose test strips, check the reaction area for discolouration before starting measurement. If you detect discolouration, this

test strip is unusable.

1. Remove a lipid test strip from the foil pouch and hold it by the

black handle with your thumb and index nger so that the

horizontal lines and triangle are facing upwards.

2. Open the Measurement Chamber Flap and insert the lipid test
