Dear GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding Blood Glucose

Monitoring System Owner Thank you for choosing the GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System. This booklet has important information you need to know about the GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Please read it carefully. We understand that self-testing of blood glucose level provides a way to control your diabetes and may give you peace of mind by testing regularly. As a result GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding was developed to provide you with a fast and accurate reading with a convenient and simple process. Our goal at GLUCO- LABTM Auto-coding is to provide the best quality healthcare products coupled with superior customer service. Always consult with your healthcare profes- sional before making any changes to your diabetes management. The GLU- COLABTM Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System is for in vitro diag- nostic use only. Important information The GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only). It should be used only for testing blood glucose and only with fresh capillary whole blood samples. It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes. Consult your physician or diabetic healthcare professional about daily man- agement of your diabetes and proper use of the glucometer. Please pay close attention when handling blood. Improper procedures may cause serious hazards to your health. The GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System contains small parts. Please keep your monitoring system out of reach of children. Test Principle The enzyme glucose oxidase on the blood glucose test strip reads specifically with the blood glucose. The current generated is converted and displayed as blood glucose value. The GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding Blood Glucose Monitoring System is plasma- calibrated to allow easy comparison of results with laboratory methods. A blood glucose meter which is calibrated against a whole blood method may have different results in comparison to GLUCOLABTM Auto-coding.

Alternate Site Testing

Upper Arm Forearm Thigh Calf Dorsal Hand Fingertips Important Information About Using Alternative Sites Testing : • Alternate sites where you can test are dorsal hand, ventral palm, upper arm, forearm, calf, and thigh. • Under certain conditions, blood glucose test results obtained using sam- ples taken from your alternate sites may differ significantly from fingertip samples • The conditions in which these differences are more likely to occur are when your blood glucose is changing rapidly such as following a meal, as insulin dose, or associated with physical exercise. • When blood glucose is changing rapidly, fingertip samples show these changes more quickly than alternate sites samples. • When your blood glucose is falling, testing with a fingertip sample may identify a hypoglycemic (low blood glucose) level sooner than a test with a alternate sites sample. • Use alternate sites samples only for testing prior to or more than two hours after meal, insulin doses, or physical exercise. • Testing performed within two hours after meals, insulin doses, or physical exercise or whenever you feel that your glucose levels may be changing rapidly should be done from the fingertip. • You should also use fingertip testing whenever you have a concern about hypoglycemia (insulin reactions) such as when driving a car, particularly if you suffer from hypoglycemic unawareness (lack of symptom to indicate as insulin reaction), as forearm testing may fail to detect hypoglycemia. Important : We recommend that you test on your fingertips if you are testing for hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) or if you are suffering from hypoglycemia unawareness. www.infopia21.com Performing a Blood Test Using and Alternate Site Performing a Blood Test Using an Alternate Site To ensure accurate results when lancing your forearm, upper arm, hand, thigh, or calf, wash the test site with soap and water. Make sure there is no cream or lotion on the test site.Thoroughly dry your hands and test site. CAUTION •To receive accurate test results, at least 1.0㎕minimum sample volume is required.
