you have symptoms or continue to get results which are higher or
lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare

Intended Use
This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic
use) by people with diabetes at home and by health care profes-
sionals in clinical settings as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness of
diabetes control. It is intended to be used for the quantitative mea-
surement of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples. It should
not be used for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes.
Professionals may test with capillary, venous, arterial and neonatal
whole blood, home use is limited to capillary whole blood testing.
Capillarysamplesmaybedrawnfromthengertip.
Test Principle
Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole
blood. The glucose testing is based on the measurement of electrical
current generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the
strip. The meter measures the current, calculates the blood glucose
level, and displays the result. The strength of the current produced
by the reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood
sample.

of test strips by setting the meter with the correct code. Test results
may be inaccurate if the code number displayed on the monitor does
not match the number printed on the strip vial. You can easily code
your meter by selecting the correct code number in the meter.
How to Code Your Meter
1. Insert the code strip when the monitor is off. Wait until the code
number appears on the display.
Note : Make sure the code number on display, code strip, and
test strip vial are the same.
2. Remove the code strip, the display will show “OK”. This tells you
thatthemeterhasnishedcodingandisreadyforbloodglucose
testing.

Checking the Code Number
You need to make sure that the code number displayed on the meter
matches the number on the test strip vial before you proceed. If it
matches, you can proceed with your test. If the codes do not match,
please stop testing and repeat the calibration procedure. If the prob-
lem persists contact Customer Service for help.
It is important to make sure that the LCD displayed code is the
same as the code on the test strip vial before testing. Failure to
do so will get inaccurate results.
