Glucode Chip details.
Your new g-Pet Meter is supplied with two Glucode
chips. There is one for cats, and one for dogs.

new test strip vial, please check your g-Pet Meter with
the corresponding Glucode chip for your pet type to
ensureproper performance. The g-Pet Meter uses
removable Glucode chips so you are always getting the
most up-to-date information.
(Further instructions for use of the Glucode chips are
provided on page 10).
Note: Always use the correct pet type glucode chip
for cat or dog to ensure your g-Pet meter
gives you the most accurate results.

Coding your g-Pet Meter.
Each batch of g-Pet Test Strips
comes with two Glucode Chips,
one for cats and one for dogs. The
Glucode chips are encoded with
the algorithms for the blood
glucose testing for a specific species
type. In order to ensure an
accurate result, the code number
on the display must also match the
code number found on the g-Pet
Test Strip vial for your animal type.
1. The meter must be switched
off before inserting the g-Pet
glucode chip.
Insert the g-Pet Glucode Chip,
conductive bar’s end first, into
the slot. The g-Pet Meter will
automatically be engaged.
Note: Code the g-Pet Meter
whenever you start a new
Test Strip Vial.
2. All segments of the LCD display
will appear indicating that the
g-Pet Meter is functioning
properly. Then a beep will sound,
followed by the code number.

3. Match the code number on the
g-Pet Meter display with the code
number on the g-Pet Test Strip Vial
for cat or dog. If the code matches,
you may begin to test.

mmol/l. It is suggested that you
review your testing procedure
and test again with a new g-Pet
Test Strip to confirm the result.
6. If a“Lo”message appears on your
display, your g-Pet Meter has
detected that your patients blood

The g-Pet Control Solution is used to
check the performance of the g-Pet
Meter, g-Pet Test Strips, and your testing
technique. The g-Pet System is
performing successfully when the g-Pet
Control Solution test result falls within
the specific control solution ranges listed
on your g-Pet Test Strip vial.
To do a control solution test, code meter
with glucode chip,insert g-Pet Test Strip.
When ready screen shows, hold the S
button for 3 seconds until“ ”shows
onscreen. Conduct test. Control tests do
not store in memory.
Acontrol solution test should be
performed:
1. When you first get the g-Pet
Meter, before doing a blood test.
2. When you begin using a new
vial of g-Pet Test Strips.
3. If you have forgotten to close
the g-Pet Test Strip vial.
4. When you suspect the g-Pet Meter or
g-Pet Test Strips are not working
properly.
5. When the blood glucose test results
are not consistent with how the
animal is acting, or when you think
the results are not accurate.
6. If you drop the meter.
If the test result is NOT within the range
printed on the g-Pet Test Strip vial:
1. Repeat test and double check
your procedure.
2. Code set in meter may not match
g-Pet Test Strip code.
3. g-Pet Test Strips and/or g-Pet
Control Solution were exposed
to extreme temperatures or have
expired. Repeat test with a new
batch.
4. g-Pet Control Solution test
performed outside of 15º - 40ºC
(59º - 104ºF).
