Before Starting

Intended Use

2in1. STEP

system is intended for self-testing to monitor glucose

concentrations in fresh whole blood.

2in1. STEP

system is for use

outside body (in vitro diagnostic use) in fingertips, forearm, upper

arm, hand, thigh and calf testing.

Test principle

The

2in1. STEP

system is based on measurement of a small

electrical current produced by the reaction of glucose in the blood

sample with the reagents on the strip. This current changes with the

amount of glucose in the blood sample. The glucose concentration

in the sample is calculated based on the electrical current and

displayed on the meter.

Setting the time and date

Your

2in1. STEP

meter comes preset time, date, year and measure

unit. Before using your meter for the first time or if you change the

meter battery, you should check and set the time and date. If you

do not set your meter for the first time or after changing the battery,

you can hear 3 beeps when inserting the test strip.

See page 30 (Setting the Meter) to ensure your desired settings

are saved.
