BEFORE TESTING Calibration You must calibrate the meter every time you begin to use a new vial 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.
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.
Control Solution Testing Our Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with test strips and is used to ensure your meter and test strips are working together correctly. Do a control solution test when: you first receive the meter, at least once a week to routinely check the meter and test strips, you begin using a new vial of test strips, you suspect the meter or test strips are not working properly, your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you...

2. Press M button to mark this test as a control solution test If you press M button again, the “QC” will disap- pear and this test is no longer a control solution test. WARNING: When doing the control solution test, you have to mark it as QC. Failure to do so will mix up the blood glucose test results with the control solution test results in memory.
Page 23
4. Read and compare the result After counting down to 0, the control solution test result will appear on the display. Compare this result with the range printed on the test strip vial and it should fall within this range. If not, please read the instructions again and repeat the control solution test.

MAINTENANCE Battery Your meter comes with two 1.5V AAA size alkaline batteries. Low Battery Signal The meter will display one of the messages below to alert you when the meter power is getting low. 1. The symbol appears along with display messages: The meter is functional and the result remains accurate, but it is time to change the bat- teries.
Page 35
NOTE Replacing the batteries does not affect the test results stored in the memory. As with all small batteries, these batteries should be kept away from small children. If swallowed, promptly seek medical as- sistance. Batteries might leak chemicals if unused for a long time. Re- move the batteries if you are not going to use the device for an extended period (i.e., 3 months or more).
Caring for Your Meter To avoid the meter and test strips attracting dirt, dust or other con- taminants, please wash and dry your hands thoroughly before use. Cleaning 1. To clean the meter exterior, wipe it with a cloth moistened with tap water or a mild cleaning agent, then dry the device with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use test strips beyond the expiry date. This may cause inaccurate results. Do not bend, cut, or alter a test strip in any way. Keep the strip vial away from children since the cap and the test strip may be a choking hazard. If swallowed, promptly see a doctor for help.

DETAILED INFORMATION Reference Values Blood glucose monitoring plays an important role in diabetes control. A long-term study showed that maintaining blood glucose levels close to normal can reduce the risk of diabetes complications by up to 60%* . The results provided by this system can help you and your healthcare professional monitor and adjust your treatment plan to gain better control of your diabetes.
Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results The meter provides you with plasma equivalent results. The result you obtain from your meter may differ somewhat from your labora- tory result due to normal variation. Meter results may be affected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way.
Page 44
You may still have a variation from the result because blood glucose levels can change significantly over short periods of time, especially if you have recently eaten, exercised, taken medication or expe- rienced stress* . In addition, if you have eaten recently, the blood glucose level from a finger prick can be up to 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) higher than blood drawn from a vein (venous sample) used for a lab test* .
