Introduction

What you do:
1. Insert the Test Strip into the Test Slot located at the top,
center of the Meter.
2. Touch the test end (tip) of the Test Strip to a drop of blood.
A “beep” sounds after the Test Strip reaction chamber is
filled with blood. The test result is displayed in 30 seconds.
The Meter turns on when the Test Strip is inserted and turns off
when the Test Strip is removed, therefore, no operating buttons are required. The Meter auto-
matically stores the last 20 test results, including both blood glucose and control test results.
The Ascensia E
LITE
System provides blood glucose results ranging from 20–600 mg/dL
(1.1–33.3 mmol/L). The Meter is battery operated and approximately 1000 tests may be
performed before replacing batteries.
CAUTION: Before using any product to test your blood glucose (sugar),
read all instructions and practice the test. Do all quality control checks
as directed and consult with a diabetes health professional. These
recommendations apply to all blood glucose monitoring systems and
are supported by the American Association of Diabetes Educators,* the
American Diabetes Association, the Food and Drug Administration and
the Health Industry Manufacturers Association.
