INTRODUCTION:
TRUE METRIX AIR
Blood Glucose Monitoring System
TRUE METRIX AIR is a simple, accurate way to test
whole blood glucose (sugar) level, anytime, anywhere.
Our goal is to provide quality healthcare products and
dedicated customer service.
Importance of Blood Glucose Monitoring
A Doctor or Healthcare Professional determines how
oen to test and what the target ranges are for blood
glucose results. Having most blood glucose results within
target range shows how well a treatment plan is working
to control glucose levels. Keeping results within target
range helps slow or stop complications from diabetes.
NEVER change a treatment plan without consulting a
Doctor or Healthcare Professional.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
For the most accurate results using TRUE METRIX AIR:
• Read all product instructions for use before testing.
• Use of TRUE METRIX AIR in a manner not specified in
this Owner’s Booklet is not recommended and may
aect ability to determine true blood glucose levels.
• TRUE METRIX AIR is an in vitro (outside body)
quantitative system that is used for self-testing of human
whole blood only.
• Do not use TRUE METRIX AIR System during a xylose
absorption test. is may falsely raise glucose results.
Please check with your Doctor before using TRUE
METRIX AIR.
• Alternate site (forearm) testing should not be used to
calibrate continuous glucose monitors (CGMs).
• Alternate site (forearm) testing should not be used for
insulin dose calculations.
• Use only TRUE METRIX Test Strips and TRUE METRIX
Control Solution with the TRUE METRIX AIR Meter.
• Remove only one test strip at a time from test strip vial.
Recap vial immediately.
• NEVER reuse test strips. NEVER wipe test strips with
water, alcohol or any cleaner. DO NOT attempt to
remove blood or control solution from test strips or
clean test strips and re-use. Reuse of test strips will cause
inaccurate results.
• NEVER add a second drop of sample to test strip. Adding
more sample gives an error message.
• Perform Control Tests before performing a blood glucose
test for the first time.

3
IMPORTANT INFORMATION (cont.):
• Perform Control Tests with more than one level of
TRUE METRIX Control Solution. ree levels of control
solution are available for Control Tests. Contact place
of purchase or contact for assistance to obtain control
solution.
• Do not use for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes
mellitus or for measuring blood glucose in newborns.
FOR PATIENTS:
• DO NOT use on more than one person. ALL parts of
the TRUE METRIX AIR Blood Glucose Monitoring
System could carry blood-borne pathogens aer use,
even aer cleaning and disinfecting.
2
• e TRUE METRIX Blood Glucose Monitoring System
is for one person use ONLY. DO NOT share your Meter
or your Lancing Device with anyone, including family
members.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water
before and aer handling the meter, lancing device,
lancets, or test strips as contact with blood presents an
infection risk.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who
provides testing assistance, the meter and lancing device
should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use by the
second person.
• It is important to keep the meter and the lancing device
clean. For instructions on how to clean the meter and
lancing device, see Meter Care, Cleaning/Disinfecting
and Lancing Device Care and Cleaning.

4
• If there are symptoms of low or high blood glucose,
check blood glucose immediately. If the result does not
match the way you feel, repeat the test. If the results
still do not match the way you feel, contact a Doctor or
Healthcare Professional immediately.
~ Low blood glucose (hypoglycaemia) symptoms may
be trembling, sweating, intense hunger, nervousness,
weakness, and trouble speaking.
~ High blood glucose (hyperglycaemia) symptoms may
be intense thirst, a need to urinate oen, dry mouth,
vomiting, and headache.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION (cont.):
FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS:
• e TRUE METRIX AIR Blood Glucose Meter can be
used on multiple patients. Healthcare Professionals always
need to wear gloves and follow Cleaning/Disinfecting
section and/or adhere to the infection control policies and
procedures approved by their facility. e test strips and
lancets are for single-use. Lancing device is restricted to
be used on one patient only.
• Venous whole blood drawn into only sodium heparin
blood collection tubes must be used for testing. Mix well
before use.
• DO NOT use venous whole blood collected in sodium
uoride blood collection tubes for testing, as this may
cause inaccurate results.
• Reuse of devices labeled for single-use may result in
product contamination and patient infection.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who
provides testing assistance, the meter and lancing device
should be disinfected prior to use by the second person.
• DO NOT perform capillary blood glucose testing on
the critically ill. Capillary blood glucose levels when
critically ill with reduced peripheral blood ow may not
reect the true physiological state. Reduced peripheral
blood ow may result from the following conditions (for
example):
3
~ shock • severe hypotension • severe dehydration
~ hyperglycaemia with hyperosmolarity, with or without
ketosis.

Getting Started
Meter comes with pre-set time and date, and
Bluetooth Smart feature on. e Event Tag feature,
Ketone Test Alert, and all Test Reminders are o.
Before using the meter for the first time or aer
a battery change, check the time, date, Bluetooth
Smart, Event Tags, Alert and Reminders, and
update as needed (see Meter Set Up).
e meter turns on when a test strip is inserted into
the Test Port or when “ • ” Button is pressed (see
Memory and Meter Set Up).
Meter turns o when the test strip is released or
removed from the meter, “ • ” Button is pressed, or
aer 2 minutes of non-use.
e Bluetooth Smart feature turns o when a test
strip is inserted into the Test Port or when meter is
placed into docking station.
Turning the Ketone Test Alert on sets a reminder to
check your ketones per your treatment plan when a
blood glucose result is over 13.3 mmol/L.
Test Reminders are set like an alarm clock to sound
a tone for 10 seconds to remind you to test. Up to
four Test Reminders per day may be set.

Getting Started (cont.)
Event Tags allow you to tag your blood glucose
results to link to the following events:
Before meal –test was taken just before a meal,
Aer meal –test was taken aer a meal,
Exercise – test was taken during or aer exercise,
Medications – medication taken may have
aected test result,
Sick – test was taken when sick,
Other – any other reason that the test is unique
or dierent in some way (example: stress,
drinking alcohol). In your logbook, note the
reason that the test result was tagged. Seeing a
result with this Event Tag in the meter Memory
reminds you that there is more about this test
result in your log book.
Tagging results helps track the eect specic
events may have on your blood glucose test results.
Event Tagging may assist you and your Doctor
or Healthcare Professional with managing your
diabetes.

Quality Control Testing
To assure you are getting accurate and reliable results,
the System oers two kinds of quality Control Tests.
ese tests let you know that your
System is working properly and your
testing technique is good.
Automatic Self-Test
An Automatic Self-Test is performed
by the meter each time a test strip is
inserted correctly into the Test Port.
Insert a test strip into the Test Port.
e meter is working properly if:
~ the full Display appears, then
~ the time appears in the upper
part of the Display, and then,
~ the Drop Symbol begins to blink.
If an error message appears in the Display,
the meter will not perform a test. See
Troubleshooting or contact for assistance (see
Booklet cover for contact information).
If any segments are missing in the Display
when meter is first turned on, do not use the
meter for testing. Contact for assistance.

Control Test
We recommend performing Control Tests to check the
performance of the system.
Control Tests should be performed:
• To practice before using the system for the rst time,
• For practice to ensure testing technique is good,
• Occasionally when using a vial of test strips,
• When opening a new vial of test strips,
• If results seem unusually high or low,
• If a vial has been le opened or exposed to extreme
heat or cold, or humidity,
• Whenever a check on performance of the system is
needed,
• If meter damage is suspected (meter was dropped,
crushed, wet, etc.)
Note: It is important to perform Control Tests with more
than one level of TRUE METRIX Control Solution.
ree levels of control solution are available for
Control Tests. Use contact on the cover for more
information on how to obtain control solution.
Ranges printed on test strip vial label are for
Control Test results only and are not suggested
levels for blood glucose. Do not drink control
solution.

How to Test Control Solution
Use ONLY TRUE METRIX Control Solution with
the TRUE METRIX AIR Meter and TRUE METRIX
Test Strips.
1. Check dates on control solution label
and test strip vial label. Do not use
control solution or test strips if either
Use By Dates have passed. (control
solution - 3 months aer rst
opening or date next to on bottle
label; test strips - aer open vial Use
By date (see test strip Instructions
