Important Information

•Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings

which are lower than actual values. If you believe you are suffering

from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional

immediately.

•If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual, and

you do not have symptoms of illness, ﬁrst repeat the test. If you

have symptoms or continue to get results higher or lower than

usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.

•Use only fresh whole blood sample to test your blood glucose.

Using other substances will lead to incorrect results.

•If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your

blood glucose test results and you have followed all instructions

described in this owner’s manual, call your healthcare professional.

•We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive

individuals or patients in shock. Readings which are lower than

actual values may occur for individuals experiencing a

hyperglycaemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.

Please consult the healthcare professional before use.

Intended Use

This system is a 2 in 1 system designed to measure blood glucose

outside the human body (in vitro diagnostic use) and to measure

blood pressure non-invasively. It is intended for use in the home and in

clinical settings as an aid to monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes

control.

It shall not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes and hypertension, or

for the testing of neonates.

Test Principle

Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole blood.

The glucose testing is based on the measurement of electrical current

generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the strip. Your

monitor measures the current, calculates the blood glucose level, and

displays the result. The strength of the current produced by the reac-

tion depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.

The blood pressure is measured non-invasively at the arm based on

the Oscillometric method.

This device is NOT able to take measurements in the presence of

common arrhythmia, such as arterial or ventricular premature beats or

arterial ﬁbrillation. It may produce reading errors.
