NOTE
Store test strips in their original bottle to maintain quality. Do not transfer them
to other containers.
1.1 Intended Use
Your GLUCOCARD
TM
X-mini plus and GLUCOCARD
TM
X premium Test Strips
are for quantitatively measuring the glucose level in fresh capillary whole blood.
They are intended for use outside of the body (in vitro diagnostic use) at home
or in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor and control blood glucose levels. Do
not use them to diagnose diabetes. Also, do not alter treatment based on
the test results of this meter without instructions from your doctor or healthcare
professional.
1.2 Measurement Principle
Glucose in the blood reacts with the reagent in the test strip and this produces
a small electric current. The strength of this current is proportional to the
concentration of glucose in the blood. The meter measures this current and
calculates your glucose level.

2.2 What You Need for Each Test
Do not use this meter for your blood glucose testing if you are being tested
for galactose tolerance or xylose absorption. You may use this meter if you
are taking PAM (1-Methylpyridine-6-carbaldehyde oxime).
These treatments may produce higher test results than your actual
blood glucose level. Taking unnecessary measures to lower your blood
glucose level may induce severe low glucose symptoms such as coma.
Chapter 1 Introduction
For accurate test results, allow the meter to adjust to the surroundings:
Temperature: 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F)
Humidity: 20 to 80% RH (Relative Humidity)
for 30 minutes before testing your blood glucose.
Do not store or use the meter where:
• There are sharp temperature fluctuations.
• Humidity is high enough to cause condensation (bathrooms, drying
rooms, kitchen, etc.).
• There is a strong electromagnetic field (microwave oven, cell phone,
etc.).
Do not use the meter after it has been dropped in liquid or liquids have
entered inside, even if dried afterwards.
Keep hands away from the test strip slot on the meter. A thermo sensor is
housed inside the meter to minimize detection of errors.
Do not connect the communication cable to the connection terminal
during testing. The meter may be damaged, leading to inaccurate test
results.
Do not apply blood directly to the test strip slot on the meter.
Do not share your meter with anyone to avoid the risk of infection.
