Important Health-Related information

• Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may receive inaccurate results.
• Some people with diabetes do not experience symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Others, such as children or people who are unconscious or have certain disabilities, may not be able to communicate their symptoms to caregivers. For these reasons, do not change any treatment without first talking to your doctor
• Run a control test when you open a new box of test strips or if you think that your test result is incorrect. Running a control test lets you know that the meter and test strips are working properly.
• DO NOT CHANGE YOUR TREATMENT BASED ON A SINGLE RESULT THAT DOES NOT MATCH HOW YOU FEEL OR IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR TEST RESULT COULD BE INCORRECT. If your blood glucose result doesn’t match how you feel and you have followed the instructions in this manual, follow your doctor’s instructions, or call your doctor.
• Children should be taught how to use the meter and any other medical products appropriately.
• Being severely dehydrated or losing a lot of water may give you false (low) test results. If you think you’re suffering from dehydration, call your doctor right away.
• If you have followed all the instructions in this booklet and still have symptoms that don’t seem to match your test results – or if you have questions – talk to your doctor.
• The system is designed for use with fresh capillary whole blood venous blood and or neonatal blood.
• Inaccurate test results may be obtained at high altitudes more than about 3048 meters above sea level.
• BS-602 blood glucose test strip: more than 70% of the hematocrit ratio will affect the measurement results. Please contact your doctor to determine your hematocrit ratio.
• Some substances may cause false results with enzymatic tests.

Limitations
The interference listed below has been tested and shown no apparent influence on results at the normal or higher therapy levels.

Other interfering substances in EN ISO 15197: 2015 Annex A are not verified, it may also affect the test results.

Alternative Site Testing (AST)
Alternative Site Testing (AST) means you can use parts of the body other than your fingertips to check your blood glucose levels. The system allows you to test from the palm, forearm, calf, or thigh.

WARNING

• Ask your healthcare professional if Alternative Site Testing (AST) is right for you.
• Do not calibrate a continuous glucose monitoring device from an AST result.
• Do not calculate an insulin dose based on an AST result.
• Your meter can be used for fingertip or AST testing.

Do not use AST under the following conditions:

• If you think your blood sugar is low.
• When blood sugar is changing rapidly, such as after a meal, after an insulin dose, or during or after exercise.
• If you are unable to feel symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemic unawareness.
• If you get alternative site blood sugar results that do not agree with how you feel.
• During illness or times of stress.
• If you will be driving a car or operating machinery.

Alternative site results may be different from fingertip results when glucose levels are changing rapidly (e.g., after a meal, after taking insulin, or during or after exercise). Additionally, glucose levels may not rise as high or fall as low as levels in the fingertip. As such, fingertip results may identify hypoglycemic levels sooner than alternative site results. Alternative Site Testing is recommended only when it is more than 2 hours after a meal, diabetes medication, or exercise.

Minors who cannot complete blood collection on their own need to do it with the help of a guardian or professional.

2. High glucose results
   If your test is above 33.3mmol/L(600mg/dL ), HI will appear on the display screen.

   • HI Reading with Symptoms
     If you feel symptoms such as fatigue, thirst, excess urination, or blurry vision, then follow your doctor’s recommendation to treat hyperglycemia.

   • HI Reading without Symptoms
     If you get a HI reading but have no symptoms of high blood glucose, then retest with a new test strip. If you still get a HI reading, follow your doctor’s recommendation to treat hyperglycemia.

3. Unusual hematocrit
   Too high (above 70%) hematocrit can cause inaccurate results. Please contact your doctor to determine your hematocrit ratio.

Comparing Your Meter result to a Laboratory result

Comparing your meter’s results with laboratory results periodically.
The results of the Kinetik Wellbeing BG-710 meter are plasma equivalent. This method will help you and your healthcare professional compare your meter results with laboratory test results. The Kinetik Wellbeing BG-710 meter’s test result and laboratory test results both are expressed in plasma- equivalent units. However, your blood glucose meter result may differ from your laboratory result due to normal variation. Your blood glucose meter results can be affected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way

• If your blood glucose is below 5.55mmol/L (100mg/dL), your results generally should fall within ±0.83mmol/L (±15mg/dL) of the laboratory result.
• If your blood glucose is equal to or over 5.55mmol/L (100mg/dL), your results generally should fall within ±15% of the laboratory result.

To maximize your chances of an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory results, please follow a few basic guidelines:

Before going to the lab

• Perform a control solution test to make sure the meter is working properly.
• Do Not eat for at least eight hours before you test your blood glucose.

While at the lab

• Perform your meter test within 15 minutes of the lab test.
• Use fresh capillary blood obtained from the fingertip, venous blood, and neonatal blood.
• Follow all instructions in this Instruction Manual to perform a blood glucose test with your meter.

Memory and averages

Storing Blood glucose Test results
The meter automatically stores up to 1000 blood glucose test results with the time and date of the test and any test markers. Results can be reviewed at any time. Test results are stored from the newest to the oldest, so set the time and date correctly in the meter.

Use a soft cloth damped with this solution to wipe the outside of the meter and lancing device. Be sure to squeeze out any excess liquid first. After wiping, cover the surface you are disinfecting with the soft cloth damped with the bleach solution for 1 minute. Then wipe with a clean soft cloth and wait until it dries. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the meter and lancing device.

It meets the electromagnetic emissions requirements as standard EN 61326. Its electromagnetic emission is thus low. Interference from the meter to other electrically driven equipment is not anticipated.

Disposing of the meter, test strips, lancets, and batteries

Warning

• Any product coming in contact with blood is considered contaminated (potentially infectious).
• During normal testing, any blood glucose meter may come in contact with blood.
• Lancing devices may also be considered sharps. For disposal of sharps, refer to local regulations.

Refer to any laws or ordinances relating to the disposal of sharps and/or contaminated products. Contact your local health department or other appropriate authorities for proper handling and disposal of used meters, used test strips, used lancets, and used batteries.

Please consider the following points when disposing of used testing materials:

• Consider recycling the meters and batteries at an appropriate facility. Be aware that the meter is potentially hazardous electronics scrap (e-scrap) and should be disposed of accordingly. The batteries are potentially hazardous also and should be disposed of accordingly.
• Disinfect the meter before recycling or disposing.
• 29 CFR 1910.1030 – Blood-borne pathogens
• Directive 2002/96/EC – Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)

Warranty

Limited 2-Year Warranty
The meter is guaranteed for 2 years from the date of purchase. If the meter does not function properly due to defective components or poor workmanship, we will repair or replace it freely. This warranty does not cover damage due to improper handling in any way. The battery is not included in the warranty.

Traceability
The traceability of the control solution is referenced to the YSl2500 Biochemistry Analyser. The YSl2500 Biochemistry Analyser is the reference method used to assess the accuracy with which glucose results are obtained using the system. The value of the glucose is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM) 917c (D-Glucose). Concentration: 200 mg/dl

The performance of the system has been evaluated both in the laboratory and in clinical tests.

Range:
The display range of the meter is 0.5mmol/L to 33.3 mmol/L (9mg/dl to 600 mg/dl). “HI” and “Lo” messages indicate results outside of this range.

Accuracy:
The accuracy of the system was assessed by comparing blood glucose results from fresh capillary whole blood obtained by patients with those obtained using a YSI Glucose Analyser, a laboratory instrument. Table1. System accuracy results for glucose concentration <5.55 mmol/L (100 mg/dl)

When the blood glucose is below 5.55mmol/L(1 OOmg/dL), 100% of measured glucose results should fall within ±0.83mmol/L (±15 mg/dl) of the laboratory result.

Table2. System accuracy results for glucose concentration ≥5.55mmol/L ( 100 mg/dl)

When the blood glucose is equal to or above 5.55mmol/L(100mg/dL), 100% of measured glucose results should fall within ±15 % of the laboratory result.

Performance Characteristics

Table3. System accuracy results for glucose between 0.5 mmol/L (9 mg/dL) and 33.3 mmol/L (600 mg/dL)

This study shows that the system compares well with a laboratory method and meets the minimum acceptable performance criteria defined in EN ISO 15197: 2015.

Precision:
The repeatability evaluation was performed with venous whole blood and the intermediate precision evaluation was performed with control materials.

To maximize your chances of an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory results, follow a few basic guidelines:

Before going to the lab

• Perform a control solution test to make sure the meter is working properly.
• Do Not eat for at least eight hours before you test your blood.
• Take your meter with you to the lab.

While at the lab

• Conduct your meter test within 15 minutes of the lab test.
• Use fresh capillary blood obtained from the fingertip, venous blood, and neonatal blood.
• Follow all instructions in this Owner’s Booklet for performing a blood glucose test with your meter.
