Quality Control Testing
IMPORTANT:
The reference range of the control solutions may vary with each new vial of test strips. Make
sure you check the range on the label of your current vial.
Our control solutions contain a known amount of glucose that can react with test strips. You can check the
performance of the meter, test strip and your technique by comparing the control solution results with the
range printed on the label of test strip vial. Checking regularly can ensure your test results are accurate.
Please refer to the Owner's Manual for complete testing instructions.

Reading Your Result
Your blood glucose readings deliver plasma equivalent results and are displayed in milligrams of glucose per
deciliter of blood (mg/dL). The measurement range of this meter is 20-600 mg/dL (1.1-33.3 mmol/L).
Reference values
If your test results are unusual or inconsistent with how you are feeling:
■ Make sure the confirmation window of the test strip is completely filled with blood.
■ Check the expiration date of the test strips.
■ Check the performance of your meter and test strip with the control solutions.
PLEASE NOTE
: Unusually high or low blood glucose levels may be symptoms of a serious medical condition.
If most of your results are unusually high or low, please contact your healthcare professional.
Questionable or inconsistent results
Please consult your doctor to determine a target range that works best for you.
STEP 1
Insert the test strip fully into the slot of the meter until it will go no further.
When the strip is fully inserted, the meter will do several self-checks.
STEP 2
Collect a blood sample with the test strip. A sufficient quantity of blood is
required for the test to provide accurate results. Touch the blood drop with
the absorbent hole of the test strip, and wait until the confirmation window is
fully covered.
Do NOT
apply a smeared blood sample. The meter will start
counting down.
STEP 3
After a few seconds, the meter will display your blood glucose level. The last
reading will be automatically saved in the meter. Turn it off by removing the
test strip and throw away the used test strip.
PLEASE WASH AND DRY YOUR HANDS BEFORE PERFORMING ANY TESTING.
The used lancet and test strip are potentially biohazardous. Please dispose of them carefully according to
your local regulations.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for more information.
Testing Your Blood Glucose
Strip Appearance
1. Absorbent Hole
Apply a drop of blood here. The blood will automatically be absorbed.
2. Confirmation Window
This is where you confirm if enough blood has been drawn into the absorbent
hole of the strip.
3. Test Strip Handle
Hold this part to insert the test strip into the slot.
4. Contact Bars
Insert this end of the test strip into the meter. Push it in firmly until it will go
no further.
Test results might be wrong if
the contact bar is not
fully
inserted into the test slot.
The front side of the test strip
