2.7 Inserting Test Strips into the Meter

Start with the following steps to test your blood glucose level.

1. With clean, dry hands, remove 1 test strip from the bottle.

Do not bend the test strip.

NOTE

 Tightly close the bottle immediately after taking out a test strip.

 Do not apply blood to the test strip before inserting it into the meter.

2. Insert the test strip fully into the test strip slot.

The meter turns on. Check that a full display appears as

in chapter 2.6.

After the most recent test result appears, the

blood symbol will flash on the screen.

If nothing appears on the screen, remove the test strip and insert it back into

the test strip slot.

NOTE

 You can turn on the test strip light.

 The test result that appears right after power turns on is the most recent

result without a control test flag or delete flag.

 If the thermometer symbol appears on the screen, see “If a

Message Appears” in the “Information for Users”.

 If you insert a test strip beyond the expiration date you set, the

blood symbol and expiration symbol will alternately flash on the

screen. If this occurs, see chapter 6.3.

3.4 Sampling from Your Fingertip

1. Remove the head cap.

2. Insert a new lancet into the holder until it stops.

NOTE

Use a lancet before its expiration date.

3. Twist off the protective cap on the lancet. Keep the

protective cap for disposing of the lancet after the test.

Next ...

Go to chapter 3 “Blood Sampling”. Draw blood and apply it to the test strip no

more than 5 minutes after you insert the test strip into the meter. Double beeps

begin to sound 4 minutes and 30 seconds after inserting the test strip. Thirty

seconds later, the meter turns itself off.

NOTE

In the ECO mode, the blood symbol flashes 2 minutes shorter than otherwise.

See chapter 7 “Meter Setup”.

If you cannot test your blood glucose due to a problem with your meter or

test strips, promptly contact your healthcare professional and distributor.

CAUTION

3. To flag the test result:

See step 2 in chapter 5.1.

This chapter briefly explains how to get a blood sample using the Multi-Lancet

Device

and Multilet

. If using some other lancing device to sample blood, see

the manual for that device.

3.1 Lancing Device Parts

3.2 Cautions on Using the Multi-Lancet Device

Follow these cautions to reduce the risk of infection by pathogenic

microorganisms.

3.3 Selecting a Sampling Site

Alternative site testing (AST): This meter can test the glucose level of blood

from your fingertip, palm, forearm or upper arm. However, test results from

sites other than the fingertip may differ from a fingertip measurement. Consult

your doctor or healthcare professional before testing blood from the palm,

forearm or upper arm.

Use blood from: If you are going to test:

Chapter 3 Blood Sampling

 Wash the puncture site with soap and water. Dry the site thoroughly

before sampling blood.

 Do not share the same lancet or lancing device with anyone to avoid the

risk of infection.

 Always use a new lancet. Lancets are for single-use only. Do not reuse a

lancet that you have already used.

CAUTION

Fingertip, palm,

forearm or

upper arm

 Before meals

 Two hours or more after meals

 Two hours or more after exercise

Fingertip

 When there is the possibility of blood glucose level

changing rapidly (e.g. after meals or exercise)

 When experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia

such as perspiration, cold sweats, a floating

sensation or trembling

 When immediate testing is needed for suspected

hypoglycemia

 When in poor physical condition such as having a

cold, etc.

This meter checks itself every time you insert a test strip. You do not need to

run frequent control tests. Do a control test if:

 You suspect the meter or test strips are not working properly.

 You dropped the meter.

 You damaged the meter.

 Your test results do not match how you feel.

 You want to check performance of the meter and test strips before a blood

glucose test.

NOTE

Use only the control solution, GLUCOCARD

X-METER CONTROL, to test

your meter and test strips

1. See steps 1 and 2 in chapter 2.7.

2. Select the control test flag.

As an alternative, you can attach the control test flag after the

test result appears on the screen. Test results with the control test flag are not

part of your result averages.

3. Make sure that the blood symbol is flashing on the screen.

4. Squeeze a drop of control solution to the tip of the test strip.

The test will not start if you apply your control solution to

the check window directly.

The test starts when the meter detects the control

solution. The meter counts down from 5 to 1 during the

test.

NOTE

 Tightly close the control solution bottle.

 Do not touch the test strip once the meter starts counting down.

5. Check your test result is within the acceptable range.

The acceptable range is shown on the package insert that come with the

control solution. If within range, the meter and the test strip are working

properly. If out of range, test the control solution again.

Chapter 8 Control Test

 Do not use control solutions beyond their expiration date. The expiration

date is written on the control solution bottles next to “Exp.”.

 Leave the meter and test strips at

10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F) and 20 to 80% RH,

and the control solution at

22 to 28°C (72 to 82°F)

for at least 30 minutes before running the control test.

 Do not drink control solution. It is not for human consumption.

 Keep control solution away from skin and eyes. Contact may cause

inflammation.

CAUTION

6. Slide the test strip disposal lever to eject the test strip.

The meter turns itself off.

If you still have test results that are out of the acceptable range, stop using

your meter, test strips and control solutions, and contact your distributor.

CAUTION

9.1 Storing Your Meter

After use, tightly close the caps of the test strip bottle and control solution bottle

to maintain their quality.

Store your meter, test strips, control solutions and manuals in your carrying

case and store it in a dry location. The correct storage temperature is 0 to 50°C

(32 to 122°F) for the meter and 1 to 30°C (34 to 86°F) for the test strips and

control solutions. Do not freeze. Avoid heat, humidity and direct sunlight.

Chapter 9 Meter Care

9.2 Cleaning Your Meter and Lancing Device

Your meter and lancing device do not need special cleaning. If your meter and

lancing device get dirty, wipe them with a soft piece of cloth moistened with

water. To disinfect these items after cleaning, wipe with a soft cloth moistened

with 70% ethanol, 70% isopropanol or diluted household bleach (0.05% sodium

hypochlorite solution).

9.3 Changing the Batteries

When the battery symbol appears on the screen, the batteries

are getting low. Before using your meter, change the batteries.

Past results remain in the memory even when the batteries are

changed.

NOTE

Your meter uses two CR2032 3V lithium batteries. This type of batteries is

available in many stores. Keep spare batteries handy at all times.

You do not need to set the date and time if you insert new batteries within 1

minute after removing the old batteries. Even if you change the batteries within

1 minute, your meter’s clock may stop if:

 The batteries are not replaced soon after the battery symbol appears.

 The batteries are inserted upside down.

 You touch the metal parts inside the meter with hands or metal.

1. Make sure the meter is off.

2. Grip the strap hole with the tip of your finger and pull

open.

3. Remove the batteries.

4. Set the new batteries into the battery holder with the

“+” side facing upward.

NOTE

If the batteries are inserted upside down, the meter will

not operate.

5. Close the battery holder.

6. The “SET” screen appears when the time has been reset. If it appears, set

the correct time. See the setup mode flowchart in chapter 7. If you do not set

the time, all subsequent test results will be stored as 12:00 AM or 00:00.

Dispose of old batteries according to your local environmental

regulations.

To obtain accurate test results:

 Do not use test strips or control solutions if their bottles are broken or

have been left open.

 Do not use the test strips or control solutions beyond their expiration

dates.
