Important Information for the System
• Before using the Medisign MediKeto Plus 82 BT blood glucose and β-ketone monitoring system, please
read this manual carefully.
• Use this system only for blood glucose and blood β-ketone test.
• The Medisign MediKeto Plus 82 BT blood glucose and β-ketone meter should be used with the
Medisign GH82 blood glucose test strips and the MediKeto 82 blood β-ketone test strips.
• If results from alternative site testing do NOT match how you feel, perform a fingertip test to confirm
the result. If the fingertip test result still does NOT match how you feel, call your physician or
healthcare professional.
• If your test result does NOT match how you feel, call your physician or healthcare professional.
• NEVER ignore symptoms of high or low blood glucose and high blood β-ketone.
• If you see “HI” or “Lo” displayed, your blood glucose level may be above 600mg/dL or below
20mg/dL, repeat the blood glucose test. If the meter persists same results, contact your physician or
healthcare professional.
• If you see “HI” displayed with symbol, your blood β-ketone level may be above 8.0 mmol/L,
repeat the blood β-ketone test using a new test strip. If the meter persists same results, contact your
physician or healthcare professional.
• This system could support your healthcare program but NEVER make major changes in your diabetes
treatment program without consulting your physician.
• The results of this system should NOT be used for diabetic treatment or medications without consulting
your doctor.
• Be sure to check the blood glucose and blood β-ketone measurement unit on the meter before the test.
Use of the wrong blood glucose and blood β-ketone measurement unit may cause you to misinterpret the
test results and result in incorrect treatment. Consult your healthcare professional if you have any
questions about your blood glucose and blood β-ketone measurement units.
• Before the test you must make sure that the code number displayed on the meter matches the code
number on the test strip vial or foil packet.
• If alcohol wipes are used to disinfect the fingertip, make sure the fingertip is completely dry before
obtaining the blood sample.
• Before sampling blood, gently massage the hand and finger toward the puncture site to form a drop of
blood. Do NOT squeeze excessively around the puncture site when you produce a drop of blood.
• If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact with hair or a crease in the palm, do NOT use
that sample. Try puncturing again in a smoother area.
• Do NOT hold or shake the meter while it is testing.
