I. Introduction
Thank you for using the smartLAB®sprint nG Self-Monitoring Blood
Glucose System (SMBG). This system was designed to be depend-
able, easy-to-use, compact, lightweight and portable to help you
monitor your blood glucose on a regular basis.
Please read this manual thoroughly before you begin testing. It pro-
vides you and your diabetes care team with important information
and step-by-step direction to use the system correctly. Although
your smartLAB®sprint nG system is easy to use, you should con-
sult your healthcare professional (this may be your doctor, diabetes
nurse educator or pharmacist) for instructions on how to use the
system. The only way to obtain accurate results from any system is
to make sure you correctly use it. If you have any concerns, please
call your authorized distributor in your country during business
hours.

48
Measuring principle
The smartLAB®sprint nG Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose System is
designed to allow rapid measurement of blood glucose by using an
electrochemical biosensor technology. This system employs a dis-
posable dry reagent strip technology, based on the FAD-binding
glucose dehydrogenase.
Each test strip features an electrode containing FAD-binding glu-
cose dehydrogenase. A capillary blood sample is applied to the col-
lecting area of the strip, and is automatically drawn into the reac-
tion zone, where the FAD-binding glucose dehydrogenase catalyzes
the glucose dehydrogenation. It will produce gluconolactone.
During the reaction, a mediator transfers electrons to the electrode
surface and generates a current. The amount of the current is pro-
portional to the amount of glucose present in the blood sample.
After 5 seconds, the smartLAB®sprint nG will show glucose concen-
tration on the screen.
Intended use
The smartLAB®sprint nG is intended for the quantitative measure-
ment of glucose in venous whole blood or fresh capillary whole
blood from fingertips, palm and forearm. Testing is done outside
the body (In citro diagnostic use). It is indicated for self-testing
(over the counter [OTC]) by persons with diabetes, or in clinical
settings by healthcare professionals, as an aid to monitor the ef-
fectiveness of diabetes control. The meter should be used only with
smartLAB®nG blood glucose test strips.

ENGLISH
Important information
• The smartLAB®sprint nG blood glucose system is designed and
approved for testing venous whole blood or fresh capillary
whole blood samples from your fingertips, palm and forearm.
The meter is for in vitro diagnostic use ONLY (for testing out-
side the body). It should not be used to diagnose diabetes.
• The smartLAB®sprint nG blood glucose system can only be used
with smartLAB®nG Blood Glucose Test Strips. Other test strips
will give inaccurate results.
• Severe impact may cause the meter to malfunction. Do not dis-
assemble the meter as it may damage components inside and
cause an incorrect reading. The warranty will be void if the
meter has been disassembled.
• Testing is not valid for neonatal blood specimens.
• Incorrect results may occur when performing the test. If you
believe you are not feeling well, please contact your healthcare
professional immediately.
• Always keep the meter clean and store it in a safe place. Pro-
tect from direct sunlight to ensure a longer lifespan.
• The strip slot should be kept free from dirt, dust, blood stains,
and water stains.
• Do not store the system and test strips in a car, a bathroom or

50
a refrigerator. And the system, strips and lancing device should
be kept away from children or pets.
• Remove batteries if the meter will not be used for one month
or more.
• Store the kits in a dry place with temperature range is 2 to
30°C (35.6 to 86 °F). Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Store your test strips in their original vial only. Do not transfer
them to a new vial or any other container.
• Indicate the date you open the vial. Discard all unused
strips immediately after 90 days from open date. The strips are
for single use only.
• You should not test critically ill patients with home-use blood
glucose meters.
• Warning for potential biohazard: Healthcare professionals us-
ing this system on multiple patients should be aware that all
products or objects that come in contact with human blood,
even after cleaning, should be handled as if capable of trans-
mitting a viral disease.
• Please dispose device according to the local rule of the disposi-
tion of electronic device / accessory waste.
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the man-
ufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be

51
ENGLISH
impaired.
Do not touch the test strip with wet hands
Do not use expired test strips
(see expiration date on the strip vial)
Do not bend, cut or twist the strip
Consult with your healthcare professional before testing
on your palm or forearm.
Altitude up to 3,048 meters above sea level has no effect
on readings.
Health-Related Information
• If you are experiencing dehydration, frequent urination, low
blood pressure, shock or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonke-
totic coma (HHNKC), you may get a test result that is lower
than what your blood glucose really is. If you think you are
dehydrated, call your healthcare professional right away.
• If you have followed the steps in the user’s manual, but still
have symptoms that do not seem to match your test results, or
if you have questions, please contact your healthcare profes-
sional.
• Please read your test strip instructions carefully for additional
health-related information
Note on smartLAB® nG „NO CODE“-test strips
The smartLAB®nG blood glucose test strips compatible with
smartLAB®nG glucose meters need not to be coded, any more.

Low Battery
The meter uses two alkaline 1.5V (AAA) batteries. Batteries will
normally last for more than 2000 tests. Other types of 1.5V (AAA)
batteries are also acceptable, but the capacity of test times may
differ. Insert the batteries when you first use the meter or replace
with new batteries when the “LP” (low power) message and the low
battery symbol appear on the display.
The meter will not turn on the first time batteries are inserted.
Please press and hold right button or insert the test strip to turn
your meter on.
The meter will turn off automatically. Or you can press and hold
right button to turn your meter off.
Note:
1. The meter won’t delete earlier records after you replace batte-
ries.
2. You should reset the time and date again after you replace the
batteries.
3. 1.5V (AAA) x 2 batteries are available at most stores. You may
take the old batteries with you for replacement.
4. Remove batteries when you will not be using the meter for one
month or more.

Using smartLAB®nG Blood Glucose Test Strips
• Use only with smartLAB®nG Blood Glucose Systems.
• Run a control solution test every time you open a new box of
test strips (See Chapter „Control Solution Testing.“)
• Keep the test strips in their original bottle.
• After you take a test strip out of the bottle, tightly close the
bottle immediately. This keeps the test strips dry.
• Use the test strip within three minutes after taking it out of
the bottle.
• The strip is for single use only. Do not reuse it.
• Record the date you open the test strip bottle. Be sure to check
the expiration date on the test strip bottle. The test strip is
good for 6 months from the date the bottle is opened or until
the expiration date on the bottle, whichever comes first.
• Store the test strip bottle and your system in a cool dry place.
• Store the test strips between 2°C ~30°C (36°F - 86°F). Do not
freeze.
• Do not apply blood or control solution to the test strip before
you insert it into the system.
• Do not touch the test strip with wet hands. Do not bend, cut,
or twist the test strips.

ENGLISH
Function check
You can carry out a function check with the Check Strip which is
included in your system set. You do not have to do the function
check before every measurement. It helps you to control if your
smartLAB®nG system works properly, from time to time, though.
1. Insert check strip into the meter:
Make sure your check strip is inserted with writing to top. The meter
will turn on automatically and the display will show „CHK“.
2. Check message in LCD display:
The function check will take approx. 3 seconds. The check can pro-
duce the following messages on the display:
•„OK”-yourmeterworksproperly
•„FAL“-changebatteriesandcheckagain.Ifthemessagestillap-
pears, please refer to your local supplier.
3. Remove check strip:
The meter will turn off automatically after removing the test strip.
Please keep the check strip in the soft case of the meter.
