Introduction
Thank you for choosing the TysonBio AC100 Blood Glu-
cose Monitoring System. As you already know, self moni-
toring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a necessary part of the

TysonBio AC100 System has the ability to process accu-
rate results utilizing only a small volume of blood for in vitro
diagnostics.
The TysonBio AC100 System is been designed with auto
coding feature. It means the meter will code itself auto-
matically every time you insert a test strip. The voice guid-
ance feature with TysonBio AC100 system provides a aid
for user with visually impaired to get safe accurate test
results every time.

tesded for use in the home and in professional settings
