OWNER’S BOOKLET
(TD-4141)
Dear owner of GlucoRx Nexus mini ultra Blood Glucose Monitoring System,
The system consists of three main products: the meter, test strips and control solution.
These products have been designed, tested, and proven to work together as a system to
produce accurate blood glucose test results. Only use GlucoRx Nexus test strips and control
solutions with the GlucoRx Nexus mini ultra Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
Intended Use
This system is intended for external use (
in vitro
diagnostic use) only. It is used for the
quantitative measurement of glucose in samples of fresh capillary whole blood taken from
the palm, forearm, or fingers. It is not intended to diagnose or screen for diabetes mellitus,
or to be used on newborn babies.
Professionals may test with capillary and venous blood sample; home use is limited to
capillary whole blood testing.
This system provides you with plasma equivalent results.

STEP 2. Apply control solution
STEP 3. Read and compare the results
Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before use. Squeeze
out a drop and wipe it off, then squeeze out another drop and
place it on the tip of the vial cap. Hold the meter to move the
absorbent hole of the test strip to touch the drop. Once the
confirmation window fills completely, the meter will begin
counting down. To avoid contaminating the control solution,
do not directly apply control solution onto a strip.
After the meter counts to 0, the result of the control solution
test will appear. Compare the result with the range printed on
your test strip vial. The result should fall within this range.
Out-of-range results
If you continue to have test results falling outside the range printed on the test strip vial,
your meter and/or strips may not be working properly. Do
NOT
test your blood. Contact
GlucoRx Customer Services on 01483-755133.
Every time you perform a control solution test you must enter “QC” test mode so that
the test result will not be stored in the meter memory.
CAUTION
STEP 3. Apply blood sample
Wipe the first drop off and obtain a drop of blood of at least 0.5 µL using the GlucoRx
lancing device. Use the clear cap for sites other than fingers and refer to the strip package
insert for more details.
Preparing the Lancing Device for Blood Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for collecting a blood sample.
Never share a lancet of the lancing device. GlucoRx Lancing device is for

Our control solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with test strips. By
comparing the result of your control solution test with the expected range printed on the
test strip vial label, you can check that the meter and test strips are working together as a
system and that you are performing the test correctly. It is very important that you perform
this simple check routinely to make sure you get accurate results.
