Important Information About the EasyMax L System:
• EasyMax L blood glucose meter is designed and approved for testing fresh capillary whole
blood samples from your fingertip and forearm. The meter is for outside the body (in vitro) use.
It should not be used to diagnose diabetes.
• EasyMax L blood glucose meter can only be used with EasyMax Blood Glucose Test Strips.
Other test strips will give inaccurate results.
• Testing is not valid for neonatal blood specimens.
• Do not disassemble the meter as this may cause damage to the components resulting in
incorrect reading. Disassembling the meter will also void the warranty.
• Always keep the meter clean and store it in a safe place. Protect the meter from direct sunlight
to ensure a longer lifespan.
• The system should be used at a temperature between 50°F-104°F (10°C - 40°C). Outside
this range, the system may get incorrect results.
• You should not store the meter and test strips in a car, bathroom, or refrigerator.
• Elevated levels of acetaminophen, uric acid, gentisica acid, levodopa, dopamine, ascorbic acid
and methyldopa may affect results.
• Remove batteries if the meter will not be used for one month or more.
• Do not touch the strips with wet hands.
• Do not use expired strips (the expiration date is shown on the bottle, and once opened the
strips have a 90 day shelf life).
• Do not bend, cut or twist the strips.
• Altitude up to 10,000 feet above sea level has no effect on readings.
• DO NOT reuse the test strips. The test strips are for single use only.
• Warning for potential biohazard: Healthcare professionals using this system on multiple patients
should be aware that all products or objects that come in contact with human blood, even after
cleaning, should be handled as if capable of transmitting viral disease.
