Glucose
meter
The miniature glucose meter has:
·
An audio connector that is
plugged into the headphone
socket of the smart mobile device
·
A strip port for insertion of the
test strip.
The glucose meter receives its
power from the mobile device and
does not require batteries or any
other electrical source. When not in
use, the meter snaps into its slot in
the housing for protected storage.
Lancing
Device and
Cover
The lancing device is built into the
housing and uses disposable Dario™
lancets. The lancing device cover
prevents the user from unintentional
punctures. Lancets are changed for
each use. Puncture depth may be
adjusted, by removing the cover and
moving the depth selection dial. The
cover is then put back on for use.
The lancing device is activated by
sliding it with two fingers until it
clicks and then pressing the release
button. Instructions on using the
lancing device are included in
Performing a Glucose Test on

Test Strip
Cartridge
Each test strip cartridge holds 25
strips. The cartridge snaps into the
modular Dario™ housing.
