Before You Begin

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING.

The following basic safety precautions should always be taken.

1.  Close supervision is necessary when the device is used by, on, or near children, 

handicapped persons or invalids.

2.  Use the device only for the intended use described in this User Guide.

3.  Do not use test strips and control solutions which are not supplied by the 

manufacturer.

4.  Do not use the device if it is not working properly, or if it has suffered any damage.

5.  Before using any product to test your blood glucose, read all instructions 

thoroughly and practice the test. Do all quality control checks as directed and 

consult with a diabetes healthcare professional.

6.  KEEP THIS USER GUIDE WITH YOU.

Intended Use

The system is intended for use outside the body (

in vitro

 diagnostic use only). 

It should be used only for testing blood glucose (blood sugar) and only with fresh 

capillary whole blood samples. The system is intended for use in the home and in 

clinical settings. It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for the testing of 

newborns.

Principle of Measurement

Blood glucose is measured by an electrical current that is produced when a blood 

     Getting To Know Your System

The Medicare Blood Glucose Monitoring System-LiS

The Medicare System-LiS system uses the latest technology to provide you with 

easy and comfortable testing. The system requires only a 0.3 μL of blood sample to 

complete the testing in only 6 seconds.

samples mixes with the reagent (special chemicals) of the test strip. The electrical 

current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample. The Medicare System-

LiS meter measures the strength of the electrical current, calculates your blood glucose 

level and then displays your result in either milligrams of glucose per deciliter (mg/dL) or 

millimoles of glucose per liter (mmol/L). 

Caution

1.  The user should not take any decision of medical relevance without first consulting 

his or her medical practitioner. 

2.  Call your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms that are not consistent with 

your blood glucose test results.

3.  High altitudes above than 3,402 meter (11,161 ft) may affect the test results. 

4.  Temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F) may affect the test 

results. Do not test beyond of temperature range.

IMPORTANT HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION

1.  Apply only capillary whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. Applying other 

substances or plasma, serum will cause wrong results.

2.  Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. If 

you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult your healthcare 

professional immediately.

3.  Test results below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L)*1 indicates low blood glucose 

(hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L)*2 indicates high 

blood glucose (hyperglycemia).If your results are below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or 

above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), repeat the test, and if the results are still below 

60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), consult your healthcare 

professional immediately.

4.  Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or patients 

in shock. Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing a 

hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients 

should not be tested with blood glucose meters.

5.  Abnormal red blood cell counts (hematocrit level below 20% or above 60%) may 

cause false results. Please consult your healthcare professional if you do not know 

your hematocrit level.

6.  Interference: Reducing substances occurring in the blood naturally (uric acid, 

bilirubin) or from therapeutic treatments (ascorbic acid, acetaminophen) will 

not significantly affect Medicare System-LiS test results. However, elevated 

concentrations of these substances may affect test results. The compounds listed 

in the tables were found to have no affect at the concentration indicated.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

1.The meter comes with ONE Lithium battery (battery type CR2032). 
2.Battery life will vary depending on usage, so always keep a spare battery on hand. 
   The battery should last about 1000 tests or 12 months when testing 3 times a day. 
3.When the battery symbol appears on the meter display, battery is getting low. You will 

still be able to test with low battery, but you should replace it as soon as possible.

4.When battery symbol appears together with E-b on the display, the meter will no 

longer give results and you must replace the battery immediately. Please always have 

one spare battery with you to ensure that you can replace the battery anytime.

How to replace the battery

J7

1. Make sure the meter is turned off. Let the front of the meter 

rest in the palm of your hand. Press the buckle on the battery 

cover and lift up to open the cover. Remove the battery.

J7

2. With the plus (+) side up, place the battery (battery type 

CR2032) in the compartment and slide it upwards until it is 

locked into place. You should hear a beep to indicate the 

battery installed correctly. If not, please replace the battery 

correctly.

J7

3. Close battery cover.

NOTE: 

1. Replacing the battery does not affect the test result stored in memory. However the 

time and date may need to re-set.

2. As with all small objects, the battery should be kept away from small children as a 

safety precaution. If the battery is swallowed, see medical assistance immediately.

3. Batteries might leak chemicals if not used for a long time. Remove the batteries if 

you are not going to use the device for 3 months or more.

4. 

 Please discard the product or the batteries properly according to the regulations

              of your country.

choose to reset measurement unit. If you do not want to change unit,

press SET BUTTON to skip this step. If you want to change unit, press

and hold the M BUTTON for 3 seconds to change the unit to mmol/L.

Press SET BUTTON to confirm and the meter will enter to next setting.

STEP 8. Delete Memory

When the dEL symbol and the flashing memory symbol appear on the 

display, you can choose to clear the memory. If you do not want to clear 

the memory, press the SET BUTTON again to skip this step. If you want

The meter setting is now completed

IMPORTANT :

 

1. 

The time, date and unit of measurement can ONLY be changed in the setting mode. 

Therefore, when you perform a blood glucose testing, it is not possible to change those 

parameters.

2. 

Your meter displays 7, 14 and 28-day averages which you can access from the meter 

memory. These averages are calculated from your latest result obtained during the last 7, 

14 and 28 days. 

3. 

Your meter can display test result in milligram per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter 

(mmol/L). The mg/dL unit is standard in the United States. The mmol/L unit is standard 

in Canada and European countries. Your meter has been preset at the factory with the 

standard unit measurement used where you live. When you turn off the meter or replace 

the battery, the unit will not be changed. 

4. 

Use of the wrong unit of measure may cause you to misinterpret your blood glucose 

level, and may lead to incorrect treatment. Please always consult with your healthcare 

professionals before you reset the unit of measure.
