Before Starting
Intended Use
2in1.
STEP
system is intended for self-testing to monitor glucose
concentrations in fresh whole blood.
2in1.
STEP
system is for use
outside body (in vitro diagnostic use) in fingertips, forearm, upper
arm, hand, thigh and calf testing.
Test principle
The
2in1.
STEP
system is based on measurement of a small
electrical current produced by the reaction of glucose in the blood
sample with the reagents on the strip. This current changes with the
amount of glucose in the blood sample. The glucose concentration
in the sample is calculated based on the electrical current and
displayed on the meter.
Setting the time and date
Your
2in1.
STEP
meter comes preset time, date, year and measure
unit. Before using your meter for the first time or if you change the
meter battery, you should check and set the time and date. If you
do not set your meter for the first time or after changing the battery,
you can hear 3 beeps when inserting the test strip.
