Please Read the Following:
[1] Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may yield
inaccurate results. If you believe you are suffering from severe
dehydration, consult your healthcare professional immediately.
[2] The ADA (American Diabetes Association) recommends
the following target ranges for adults with Diabetes:
- Pre-Prandial Plasma Glucose: 90-130 mg/dL
- Post-Prandial Plasma Glucose: < 180 mg/dL
Always consult your healthcare professional for your
recommended target ranges.
[3] Results below 70 mg/dL may mean low blood glucose
levels (hypoglycemia).
Important Health-related Information
2
CHAPTER
[4] Results over 240 mg/dL may mean high blood glucose
levels (hyperglycemia). Checking ketones may be advisable.
[5] If you get results below 70 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL and
do not have symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia,
repeat the test. If you have symptoms, or continue to get
results below 70 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL, follow your
healthcare professional’s recommendations.
[6] If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent
with your blood glucose test and you have followed all
instructions described in the WaveSense Jazz Owner’s Guide,
follow your healthcare professional’s recommendations.
[7] Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may receive
inaccurate results.
[8] Always follow your healthcare professional’s
recommendations.

obvious veins and moles.
Physiological differences
in circulation between the
fingertip, palm (at the base of
the thumb), and forearm may
result in differences in blood
glucose test results between
these sites. Differences in
glucose concentrations may be observed after
eating, taking insulin medication, or exercise.
Changes in blood glucose may be detected at
the fingertips before the palm (at the base of
the thumb) and forearm, as there may be a lag-
time in alternate test sites.
It is recommended that you use a ngertip sample if:
[1] You are testing for hypoglycemia or if you suffer from
hypoglycemia unawareness,
[2] You are testing your blood glucose within 2 hours of
eating, taking insulin or diabetes pills, exercising, or
[3] Your blood glucose results obtained from the palm (at the
base of the thumb) or forearm are not consistent with the way
you feel.
CAUTION: Please read all the instructions provided in this
Owner’s Guide and practice the testing procedures before
using the WaveSense Jazz Blood Glucose Monitoring
System. Blood glucose monitoring should be done under
the guidance of your healthcare professional.
The WaveSense Jazz System should be used:
[1] For measuring blood glucose levels from fresh capillary
whole blood samples taken from the fingertip, palms (at the
base of the thumb), or forearms.
[2] With WaveSense Jazz Test Strips and WaveSense Control
Solution only. Use with other unapproved test strips or control
solution will void the manufacturer’s warranty and will lead to
inaccurate results.
[3] Outside of the body (i.e., in vitro diagnostic use only).
Do not use the WaveSense Jazz System for:
[1] The diagnosis of diabetes.
[2] Testing the glucose levels of neonates.
[3] Testing glucose levels of arterial or venous blood.
Possible test sites:
The WaveSense Jazz System requires only 0.5 μL of blood to
perform a glucose test. For best results, test using blood from
the tip of any finger. The palm (at the base of the thumb) and
forearm are alternate, but less accurate test sites. Only select
soft and fleshy areas to lance. Avoid lancing any bony areas,

How to Test Your
Blood Glucose Level
8
CHAPTER
CAUTION: To ensure accurate results, wash your hands with
warm, soapy water and dry before every test. Make sure
there is no grease, oil or lotion on the test site. Interfering
substances (see test strip insert sheet for interfering
substances) on unwashed hands may lead to inaccurate
results. Use lancets only once. Do not use any lancet or
lancing device that has been used by another person.
How to test your blood glucose level:
[1] Preparing the WaveSense Lancing Device:
Remove Lancing Device Cap:
Pull the cap off the lancing
device.
Insert New Lancet: Insert a new WaveSense Lancet firmly into
the lancet holder cup. Pushing
the lancet into the lancet holder
cup may cock the device; this
is OK.
Pull the Lancet Cap O:Hold the lancet firmly in place with
one hand and use your other
hand to pull off the lancet cap.
Do not discard the lancet cap. It
should be used when discarding
your used lancet.
Replace Lancing Device Cap: Replace the lancing device
cap until it snaps into place.
Be careful not to touch the
exposed needle on the lancet.
Set the Lancing Level: The WaveSense Lanc-
ing Device offers 8 depth settings. Rotate
the dial to the desired setting as shown in
the depth indicator window. Level 1 is the
most shallow; level 8 is the deepest. If you
have never lanced before, it is recommended
that you start at level 3. If necessary, set the
depth level to a deeper setting to produce
enough blood to fill the test strip (0.5 μL).
Cock the Handle: Pull the cocking handle out until it clicks.
You may have already cocked the handle accidentally while
inserting the lancet; this is OK.
The lancing device is now ready
for use.

Return to Chapter
8, step 4 to continue
with testing
instructions.
Testing glucose levels with blood obtained from the palm
(at the base of the thumb) or forearm may reduce the pain of
testing. The technique for testing on the palm and forearm
is slightly different than testing on the finger. Always discuss
changes to your testing habits with your healthcare profes-
sional.
IMPORTANT: When testing on the palm (at the base of the
thumb) or forearm, you may need to set the lancing device
to a deeper setting or use a larger lancet to obtain enough
whole blood to perform a test. Consult your healthcare
professional for a recommendation.

About averages and standard deviations:
Control solution, out-of-temperature-range results, and results
without a valid time or date are not included in averages,
standard deviations, and trend graphs. Hi and Lo test results will
be included in averages as values of 600 mg/dL and 20 mg/dL
respectively. 14, 30, and 90 day averages and trend graphs
are calculated by taking the average of all readings within the
respective time period. Standard deviations, averages, and trend
graphs do not include the current day in their calculations.
The standard deviation is an expression of the variation of
readings from the average reading. The greater this value the
more variation exists between individual readings and the
average. The standard deviation feature is a way to track your
glucose variability.

The WaveSense Jazz Meter categorizes readings as happening
before or after meals. These averages allow you to see how your
blood glucose levels vary by time of day. The pre/post mealtime
averages and standard deviations only include the first instance
of a particular mealtime tag (breakfast, post breakfast, lunch,
post lunch, etc.) per day over the last 14 day period. The second
and subsequent tests marked with the same time tag (on the
same day) are not included. The standard deviation feature is a
way to track your glucose variability.
Note: Standard deviation is always
displayed with a decimal point.
