Important Information : Read This First! To receive safe and optimum system benefits, please read the entire manual contents before the system. Please note the following instructions: • Do not use the system for the diagnosis of diabetes or for testing newborns. • • Use only fresh capillary whole blood samples for testing. Alterative site and fingertip test result may differ significantly due to rapid change in the glucose level post meal, insulin injection, or exercise.
Important Information · The AutoChek t blood glucose monitoring system is intended for selftesting outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use). · The glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals on the test strip where to produce a small electrical current. The AutoChek t meter detects this electrical current and measures the amount of glucose in the blood sample. · The AutoChek t blood glucose meter is designed to minimize code related errors in monitoring by using the no-coding function.

Checking the System You may check your meter and test strips using the AutoChek t Control Solution. The AutoChek t Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose and is used to check that the meter and the test strips are working properly. The test strip vials have AutoChek t Control Solution ranges printed on their labels. Compare the result displayed on the meter to the AutoChek t Control Solution range printed on the test strip vial.
Caution: If all the results you get from testing continuously (at least three times)are within the range printed on the test strip, the meter and test strips are working properly and you may use them for your blood glucose test. Control Solution Testing Step 1 Insert a test strip into the meter’s test strip port, with the contact bars facing upwards. Gently push the test strip into the port until the meter beeps. Be careful not to break the strip while pushing it in.
Note: The meter may be turned off, if the blood sample is not applied within 2 minutes of the icon appearing on the screen. If the meter is turned off, remove the strip, reinsert, and start from step 1. Step 3 A test result will appear after the meter counts down from 5 to 1. After your control solution result appears on the display, press the ▼ for 3 seconds until the ‘check’ icon appears on the display.
Comparing the Control Solution Test Results Repeat the control test if the test result falls outside the range printed on label of the test strip vial.
Using the Lancing Device You will need a lancing device in order to collect a blood sample. You may use the lancing device contained in the AutoChek t Blood Glucose Monitoring System or any other medically approved lancing device. • The lancing device should be used by one individual and communal use is strongly discouraged • Use a soft cloth or tissue to wipe the lancing device. If necessary, a small amount of alcohol on a soft cloth or tissue may be used.
Preparing the Lancing Device for Blood Sample Retrieval Step 1 Wash hands and fingertip sample site with soap and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Step 2 Unscrew the lancing device tip Step 3 Firmly insert the new lancet into the lancet holder. Hold lancet firmly. Gently twist to pull off the protective disk. Save the disk to recap the lancet after use. Replace the lancing device tip. www.i-sens.
Step 4 Select a desired depth of one-to-five (1-5) on the lance’s adjustable tip. Rotate the to align the desired number with the A beginning setting of three (3) is recommended. Step 5 To cock the lancing device, hold the tip in one hand. Pull the sliding barrel on with the other hand. The lancing device is cocked when you feel a click. Note: The skin depth to retrieve samples will vary for various people at different sample sites.
Preparing the Meter and Test strip Step 6 Insert a test strip with the contact bars facing upwards into the meter port. Push the strip in gently until the meter beeps. Be careful not to bend the test strip. The symbol will appear on the screen. Flagging Post-meal Test Result The AutoCheck t meter allows you to flag a result of an post-meal test with the ( ) icon. The post-meal test flag ( ) can be attached just before applying the blood sample.
Applying Blood Sample Step 8 Obtain a blood sample using the lancing device. Place the device against the pad of the finger. The best puncture sites are on the middle or ring fingers. Press the release button. Remove the device from the finger. Wait a few seconds for a blood drop to form. A minimum volume of 0.5 microliter is needed to fill the Confirmation window. (actual size of 0.
Step 10 The test result will appear after the meter counts down from 5 to 1. The result will be automatically stored in the meter’s memory. If the test strip is removed after the test result is displayed, the meter will be automatically turned off after 3 seconds. Discard used test strips safely and dispose. www.i-sens.
Result Data Transmission I Step 1 In the “T1” mode, the measured data is sent to a server immediately after each measurement. (Refer the Setting the Cellular function On/Off ) After measuring Blood glucose and discard an used test strip, the meter will starting the data transfer operation. ‘Snd’ will be appeared on the screen. Step 2 Once the data transfer begins, the progress indication dash dot (blinking) will be appeared at the bottom of the screen.
Result Data Transmission II Step 1 Transfer mode 2 (T2 Mode) (Refer the Setting the Cellular function On/Off ) User can set the schedule, then BGM sends all test results to the server once a day only at a reserved time. Step 2 At the reserved time, GSM meter wakes up automaticallyandgathering all measured data of the day The data will be sentto the server. “Snd” appears during the data transfer. Step 3 At the bottom of thescreen, it displays the progress indicator dots. www.i-sens.
Step 4 When the meter successfully sent the test result, ‘SUCC ESS’ will be appeared at the bottom of the screen. www.i-sens.

Discarding Used Lancets Step 1 Unscrew the general lancing device tip. Step 2 Place the protective cover on the lancet. Push the lancet ejector forward with the thumb and simultaneously pull out the sliding barrel to dispose the used lancet into a proper biohazard container. Cautions: The lancet is for single use only. Never share or reuse a lancet. Always dispose of lancets properly. www.i-sens.
Alternative Site Testing What is AST(Alternative Site Testing)? AutoChek t BGMS is caplable of testing your blood glucose from your palm, arms, tight, or calves, usually referred to as an alternative site test, or AST. Alternate site testing can be less painful than fingertip testing,. However, because of the physiological differences between your fingertip and palm, AST results may be significantly different.
Acceptable situation for AST • Fasting period • Before a meal • Before sleeping Situation requiring fingertip test • • When the glucose levels are rapidly increasing during the two hours after a meal or exercise • When sick or when glucose levels seem quite lower than test value • When hypoglycemia is not well recognized • When insulin has the biggest effect 2 hours after an insulin injection • AST Precautions • • • • • Do not ignore the symptoms of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
Note: Results from alternative site and fingertip samples may appear differently as there is a time lag for the glucose levels to reach the same value. Use a fingertip for drawing if you suffer from hypoglycemia or have experienced hypoglycemic shock or symptoms. drawing if you suffer from hypoglycemia or have experienced hypoglycemic shock or symptoms. Note: If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact with hair or with a line in you palm, do not use that sample.
HI and Lo Message HI Message The meter displays results between 20 ~ 600 mg/dL (1.1 ~ 33.3 mmol/L). The Hi icon will be appeared when the blood glucose level is more than 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L) and indicates hyperglycemia. If the Hi icon is displayed again on re-testing, please contact your healthcare professional immediately. Lo Message The Lo icon appears when the result is less than 20 mg/dL (1.
