General Precautions This section provides information about potential hazards
that may harm your Dario System or cause it to not function properly.
Inspect the Dario System prior to use. Avoid using any part of the system with
broken seals or expired dates. Do not attach or use a component if it is
damaged in any way, as it may not work properly.
· The Dario System is not water-resistant and should not get wet. If it does
get wet, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.
· Blood glucose testing with the Dario System should only be done in
temperatures between 50°F-95°F (10°C-35°C) and relative humidity between
15-85%. Test results may not be correct if the room temperature and/or
humidity are outside this range.
· Modifications to the Dario System not expressly approved by LabStyle
Innovation Ltd. will void your warranty and could result in injury
· Avoid testing with your Dario System in altitudes higher than 10,000 feet
(3,048 meters), as accuracy cannot be assured.
· Do not leave the meter in very hot or cold places. Do not leave it near a
heat source (radiator) or in a car in hot or cold weather.
15
· Do not store the meter or test strips in an area where the humidity is
outside of the range 1090%, such as a bathroom or kitchen.
· Do not use in oxygen rich environment and with flammable anesthetics and
flammable agents.
Additional Information For your safety, observe the following recommendations
when monitoring your blood glucose using the Dario System: · It is recommended
that you have a backup testing
method available. Failure to test could cause a delay in treatment decisions
and lead to a serious medical condition. Examples of backup testing methods
include a backup glucose meter device or testing by a laboratory. Ask your
health care provider about other possible backup methods. · Do not change your
treatment based on a single result that is inconsistent with how you feel or
if you believe that your test result could be incorrect. The blood glucose
reading displayed on your smart mobile device by Dario System should not be
the only information you use to make decisions about your health. Always
consult your health care provider to interpret and understand the measurement
results. · Never make changes to your diabetes control program or ignore
physical symptoms without consulting with your health care provider.

Dario Control Solution The Dario Control Solution confirms that the meter and
test strips are performing as expected.
Shake the control solution container thoroughly before use. Squeeze out a drop
and place it on the tip of the container cap. Hold the meter to move the
yellow testing window of the test strip to touch the drop.
Compare the results on the meter with the values displayed on the test strip
cartridge.
The Dario Control Solution package can be ordered separately as indicated in
page 23. The Dario Control Solution package comes with two bottles of control
solution (Level 1 (M), Level 2 (H)).
Control Solution Precautions Note the following about the control solution:
33
· Avoid contact with your eyes. Contact your health care provider immediately
if solution is swallowed, injected, or comes in contact with your eye.
· The dye in the control solution may stain skin, clothing, or surfaces.
· Store the control solution in an area where the temperature is between
46°F-86°F (8°C-30°C). Keep away from direct sunlight, fluorescent light, and
heat.
· Do not freeze. · Once you open a new bottle of control solution,
mark the date on the bottle. · Ensure that your control solution has not
expired.
Check the expiration date on the bottle. · Ensure that your control solution
was not opened
more than three (3) months ago. · Keep the control solution out of reach of
children. · Shake the control solution well before using. · After each use,
wipe the container tip clean and
close the container tightly. · No reconstitution or dilution of the control
solution is necessary.
Control Solution Test Principle The Dario Control Solution contains a known
amount of glucose that reacts with chemicals on the Dario Test Strip.
Shake the control solution container thoroughly before use. Squeeze out a drop
and place it on the tip of the container cap. Hold the meter to move the
yellow testing window of the test strip to touch the drop.
34
The glucose in the control solution reacts with chemicals in the test strip.
The result displayed on the meter should fall within the expected range
printed on the test strip cartridge label. You only need to obtain a single
result within the expected range to verify system performance. A result
outside the range printed on the test strip cartridge label may indicate the
system is not performing correctly.
!
The control solution is not for use as a
cleaning solution.
Chemical Composition Dario Control Solution is an aqueous solution that contains d-glucose as the reactive ingredient in the approximate concentration.
The remaining chemical components of the Dario Control Solution are:
· Buffer 75mM · Polyvinylpyrolidone 5% · Polyethylene glycol 5% · SDS 0.1% · Preservative 0.1%
Checking Your Glucose Meter with Dario Control Solutions
To perform a control solution test, you must perform the following three
procedures: · Removing the Glucose Meter from the Housing · Removing a Test
Strip from the Cartridge · Performing a Control Solution Test
35
Removing the Glucose Meter from the Housing Before performing a control
solution test or testing your blood, remove the glucose meter from the

TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL
The Dario Glucose Meter measures the amount of glucose in your blood. Once you
place a small drop of blood from your fingertip onto the test strip, the
result will display in six (6) seconds on the screen in the Dario App.
Carefully read and follow the instructions provided in this chapter and in the
package inserts for the test strips and control solutions. It is very
important to follow the instructions to prevent an incorrect result or
improper treatment.
Do not put any fluids into the test strip port.
Once you start the Dario App, follow the prompts on the screen.
Blood Glucose Testing Precautions The meter, test strips, and control
solutions are only intended for use outside the body (in vitro). Do not eat
the test strips. Do not swallow or inject control solutions or use control
solutions for any purpose other than testing your blood glucose. FDA Public
Health Notification: “Use of Fingerstick Devices on More than One Person Poses
Risk for Transmitting Bloodborne Pathogens: Initial Communication” (2010). You
can find this document at www.fda.gov. CDC Clinical Reminder: “Use of
Fingerstick Devices on More than One Person Poses Risk
44
for Transmitting Bloodborne Pathogens” (2010). You can find this document at www.cdc.gov. The meter and lancing device are for singlepatient use only. Do not share them with anyone including other family members. Do not use on multiple patients.
!
It is advised that you wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before
and after handling the meter, lancing device,
or test strips.
Incorrect test results may result in the wrong therapy recommendation and may
lead to serious adverse health conditions. Therefore, follow the proceeding
instructions carefully and read the items listed in Test Strip Precautions
below.
Test Strip Precautions · Only use Dario Test Strips. Using other test strips
with the Dario Glucose Meter can produce inaccurate results. · Inspect each
test strip cartridge before opening it for the first time. If you see any
damage to the cartridge lid, or if anything prevents the lid from closing
properly, do not use the test strips. · Run a control test every time you open
a new test strip cartridge. For additional information, refer to Checking Your
Glucose Meter with Dario Control Solutions on page 35.
45
· Store unused test strips in their original cartridge. Do not remove test
strips from the test strip cartridge and put them into another container.
· Close the cartridge tightly right after you remove a test strip. This helps
to keep the test strips dry.
· Check the “Use by” date on the test strip cartridge. Do not use the test
strips after that date.
· Write down the date the test strip cartridge was first opened. Check this
date before you use a test strip from this cartridge. If the current date
exceeds the shelf life, do not use the test strips from this cartridge. Refer
to the Instructions for Use information on the test strip cartridge packaging.
· Do not move tests strips from one cartridge to another.
· Use the test strip immediately after removing it from the cartridge.
· Use the test strips as indicated in this guide. · Do not store your test
strips in temperatures
below 36°F (2°C) or above 90°F (32°C). · Store your test strips in an area
where the relative
humidity is between 10-90%. · Do not place the test strips in a freezer. · Do
not expose your test strips to direct sunlight or
moisture. · Do not apply blood or control solution to the test
strip before inserting it into the glucose meter. · Do not reuse test strips.
Once control solution or
blood is placed on a test strip, discard the strip. If you need to retest, use
a new test strip.
46
· Do not bend, cut, or alter the test strips. · Do not get dirt, food, or
other substances on the
test strip. · It is recommended that you use the test strip
immediately after removing it from the cartridge. It is not recommended that
you use a test strip that has been outside of the cartridge for more than
three (3) minutes. · Do not touch the yellow testing site when handling the
test strip. · Do not use a damaged test strip. · Make sure that the gold
contact area of the test strip is clean from dirt, blood, moisture, and any
other material. An unclean test strip will affect the test result and can
cause an inaccurate blood glucose level result.
Factors That Interfere with Blood Glucose Testing Certain substances can
interfere with the blood glucose system and cause inaccurate results. For more
information, refer to the test strip package insert. If you are taking
medication or dietary supplements, consult your health care provider. Refer to
System Limitations on page 8 for full list of interfering substances.
Certain health conditions, such as serious illness and dehydration, can cause
false test results in glucose meters. If you are very sick or think you are
dehydrated, or are urinating frequently, call your health care provider
immediately.
You should not use this system to test your blood glucose if you are
critically ill (examples
47
include: severe hypotension or shock, hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, hypoxia, and diabetic ketoacidosis).
!
Unwashed hands or wet hands could affect
your results. Alcohol can affect test results.
Interpreting the Results If the displayed test result is consistent with how
you feel, continue as instructed by your health care provider .
If the test result is inconsistent with how you feel, check your Dario System
by running a control solution check, as described in Performing a Control
Solution Test on page 38. Repeat the blood glucose test afterward. If your
blood glucose result is still inconsistent with how you feel and you have
followed the instructions provided in this chapter, follow your health care
provider’s instructions.
Do not change your treatment based on a single result that is inconsistent with how you feel or if you believe that your test result is incorrect. The blood glucose reading displayed on your smart mobile device by Dario System should not be the only information you use to make decisions about your health. Always consult your health care provider to interpret and understand the measurement results.
48
Measurement Range Your meter measures blood glucose results in the range of 20
mg/dL to 600 mg/dL (1.1 – 33.3 mmol/L). Results outside of this range should
be reviewed according to the following information. · If your test result is
lower than 20 mg/dL (1.1
mmol/L), “LOW! Measure with a new strip, if recurs contact your physician
immediately” displays instead of a result.
LOW may indicate that your blood glucose is very low (possibly severe
hypoglycemia). Follow your health care provider’s instructions immediately and
repeat the test.
· If the result is higher than 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L), “HIGH! Measure with a
new strip, if recurs contact your physician immediately” displays instead of a
result.
· If your blood glucose test results in a LOW! or HIGH! message, repeat the
blood glucose test following all instructions in Step Five: Testing Your Blood
Glucose on page 54.
· If your blood glucose test results in a LOW! or HIGH! message a second time,
follow the protocol established by your health care provider or contact your
health care provider immediately.
· Note that many factors determine whether your blood glucose reading is
outside the range of 20 mg/dL to 600 mg/dL (1.1 – 33.3 mmol/L), including
individual differences and the time since your last meal.
49
The American Diabetes Association suggests that the following expected glucose
values for individuals without diabetes: Before eating (FPG) < 100 mg/dL (5.6
mmol/L) Two hours after meals (OGTT) < 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) Reference:
American Diabetes Association (2017). Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes
2017. Diabetes Care, 40 (Supplement 1): S1-S132. Factors That May Lead to
Inaccurate Results Certain medications, food supplements, medical treatments,
and health conditions can interfere with the blood glucose system and cause
inaccurate results. Incorrect testing technique or improper storage or
handling of the Dario System may also lead to inaccurate test results which
are inconsistent with how you feel. The following conditions could lead to
incorrect results: · Your hands may not have been washed
thoroughly. · Your glucose meter test strip port may be
contaminated. · Your test strip has been bent. · The test strip is expired.
Check the Use By date. · The length of time that has passed since first
opening the test strip package exceeds the shelf life. · Test strips were
stored incorrectly.
50
· Testing was done in a humid environment (for humidity specifications, refer
to General Precautions on page 15).
· Your glucose meter has been dropped
!
If your meter has been dropped and you are
receiving error messages or implausible
results, Contact Customer Support, for
contact information please see page 93.Do
not rely on the blood glucose measurement
alone in making health care decisions.
Step One: Inserting a New Lancet into the Lancing Device
To prevent infection, always use a new, sterile lancet in your lancing device
each time you test your blood glucose.
Insert a new lancet into the lancing device, as described in Inserting a Lancet on page 25.
If necessary, set the depth of the lancing device. For more information, refer to Setting Lancet Depth (Optional) on page 27.
Return the lancing device (orange) cover by sliding it into place until it clicks. Be careful not to touch or bend the lancet.
Step Two: Opening the Dario App
Before connecting the Dario Glucose Meter into your smart mobile device, open
the Dario App by tapping the Dario icon on your smart mobile device Home
screen.
51
Step Three (relevant to the US market only): Inserting the Smart Mobile Device into the Disposable Cover Before starting the testing procedure, you should cover your phone with a disposable cover.
To avoid the risk of transmitting bloodborne
!
pathogens, it is recommended that you use a
disposable sleeve to cover your smart mobile
device while taking the blood glucose test.
The disposable cover protects the mobile
device from direct contact with blood during
the glucose measurement.
Insert your smart mobile device into the disposable cover so that the opening at the bottom of the sleeve fits over the Lightning or USB-C port, as shown in the image below.
52
Step Four: Removing the Glucose Meter from the Housing Before starting the
testing procedure, remove the meter from the housing, as described in Removing
the Glucose Meter from the Housing on page 36. You should always store the
meter in the housing when you are not using it. Place the glucose meter
connector into the smart mobile device port at the bottom of the disposable
cover. Verify that the meter is inserted as far as it goes into the port of
the smart mobile device and no other device or cable is connected to the smart
mobile device. A “Connecting…” message appears in the Dario App, and then the
screen displays the following instruction: INSERT A NEW STRIP.
53
The Dario Meter should be inserted with logo facing up.
!
The screen notification
Step Five: Testing Your Blood Glucose You are now ready to test your blood
glucose. Before beginning the test, ensure you understand the information
provided in Testing Information and Guidelines.
Testing your blood glucose consists of the following two procedures:
· Removing a Test Strip from the Cartridge · Performing a Glucose Test
Testing Information and Guidelines · To perform the test, the meter requires
only a
small drop of blood about the size of a sugar grain (0.3L). For best results,
select a puncture site along the side of the fingertip. · While applying blood
to the test strip, verify that you apply enough blood to fill the test strip
window so that it turns completely red. · Testing blood from sites other than
the fingertip may generate inaccurate results. · If you have not applied
enough blood to the test strip, an alert displays that informs you that the
sample size is too small and you should try again
54
with a new strip. Blood glucose results are automatically saved to mobile App memory. · If a test strip error occurs (e.g. “used strip”), perform another test with a new test strip. · If an error message or symbol appears on the screen, refer to CHAPTER 7 TROUBLESHOOTING on page 77 for additional information. · Unwashed hands could affect your test results. · Alcohol can affect test results. · When not in use, store the meter in the Dario Housing. Do not leave your meter connected to your smart mobile device with the screen in ON mode for more than two (2) minutes, as it can get warm and can affect the accuracy of the test.
To prevent malfunction of the meter, keep the test strip port free of blood, moisture, dirt, or dust. Always store the glucose meter in the Dario Housing when not in use.
In case of a meter error, you may need to remove and insert the meter to allow the meter to reconnect to the smart mobile device.
In case of a test strip error you may need to replace the test strip and test with a new test strip.
Removing a Test Strip from the Cartridge
!
You should have a test strip cartridge already inserted in your Dario Housing. If this is not
the case, refer to Inserting the Test Strip
Cartridge on page 24.

strip.
!
Important: Continue applying blood to the test strip until the window turns red, which
indicates that enough blood has been
collected to take a reading. Do not put blood
on top of the test strip.
When the meter detects that blood has been applied, the “Measuring…” message
appears in the Dario App. The border of the circle gradually fills with
orange, indicating that the test is in progress.
59
4. Remove your finger from the strip once the above message appears. Do not
add blood to the test strip once you have removed your finger because you may
receive an inaccurate result.
5. The test result appears on the screen after approximately six (6) seconds.
The glucose test result is automatically saved to memory. If a result does not
display, you can view it in your Logbook in the Dario App.
!
In case an error message appears, you may need to start the measurement process again.
If error recurs, refer to CHAPTER 7
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 77 section for
further information.
If you receive a phone call while a measurement is in progress, the test will stop and the results will not be saved. The following message will display on the result screen: “The Test Strip Is Used” and you will have to start the test over with a new test strip. To avoid an interruption of your glucose test, you may want to set your smart mobile device to airplane mode prior to starting your test.
60
6. You may continue to complete the information about the glucose measurement
that displays on the Dario App screen (e.g., measurement setting, carb
consumption, exercise, insulin intake).
7. When the test is done, remove the test strip and disposable cover and
dispose of them in accordance with the instructions provided by your health
care provider for biohazardous waste.
8. Remove the lancet from the lancing device, as described in step 2 in
Inserting a Lancet on page 25 and dispose of the used lancet in accordance
with the instructions provided by your health care provider for biohazardous

Test Strip Limitations If you are taking acetaminophen containing drugs (e.g.
Tylenol) or Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) you may get inaccurate results with this
system. If you have a disease or condition in which uric acid levels in your
blood may be elevated (> 11 mg/dL), such as gout,
61
you may get inaccurate results with this system. If you have very high levels
of triglyceride (> 810 mg/dL), you may get inaccurate results with this
system. This system should not be used when undergoing xylose absorption
tests. Packed cell volume: Dario BGMS Test Strip suitable range is 20~60%.
62
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
This chapter provides information for cleaning and disinfecting for your Dario
Glucose Monitoring System.
The Dario System should be cleaned and disinfected once a week. The Dario
System should be properly maintained for safe and accurate use. The meter
should be properly cleaned and disinfected to prevent the spread of infectious
diseases.
Cleaning and Disinfection The outer surfaces should be cleaned when you notice
that your Dario is visibly dirty. It is advised to clean and disinfect your
Dario System once a week to avoid transmitting bloodborne pathogens.
If someone else is operating the meter to assist you with testing, he or she
should clean and disinfect the meter, housing, orange lancet cover and white
cartridge cover prior to use.
“Cleaning and disinfection” is a two steps process and should be done once a
week. Cleaning and disinfection refer to different actions. Cleaning removes
dirt and blood while disinfection kills the bloodborne pathogens. Before
disinfecting your system, first clean the meter, housing, orange lancet cover,
and white cartridge cover.
Failure to properly clean your device prior to disinfection can damage your
device and/or transmit blood borne pathogens. Wash your hands thoroughly with
soap and water before and after handling the meter, housing,
63
orange lancet cover and white cartridge cover, or test strips.
Step 1: Cleaning Clean the meter, housing, orange lancet cover, and white
cartridge cover using a disinfection wipe: · In the USA – use a Super Sani-
Cloth · In Canada use Germidice3 These wipes have been proven safe for use
with the Dario meter, housing, orange lancet cover, and white cartridge cover.
Super Sani-Cloth and Germidice3 are available online through amazon.com and
officedepot.com. Use the germicidal disposable wipe to remove visible dirt,
blood, or other substances. Before cleaning, remove the meter from its
housing. The meter must not be connected to the mobile device while cleaning.
Clean the meter, housing, orange lancet cover, and white cartridge cover by
wiping the outside surfaces with a germicidal disposable wipe to remove all
visible dirt. Remove the white cartridge cover and wipe the cartridge cap as
well. Before you begin, squeeze out any excess liquid from the wipe so that it
is damp but not dripping wet. Take extreme care not to get liquid on the test
strip port.
Step 2: Disinfection Prior to disinfection ensure you have properly cleaned
your device as recommended in Step 1: Cleaning. Disinfect the meter, housing,
orange lancet cover, and white cartridge cover using a clean Super Sani-Cloth
or Germidice3 wipe to kill the bloodborne pathogens that may spread infection.
Using a second clean wipe:
64
· Disinfect the meter on all four (4) surfaces by wiping up and down at least
two (2) times to each direction, as shown in the images on the following page.
Do not allow any moisture to get into the test strip port.
· Disinfect the housing, orange lancet cover, and white cartridge cover by
wiping the outer surfaces. Ensure that you wipe all parts including the
housing, the white cartridge cover, and the orange lancet cover up and down at
least two (2) times in each direction as demonstrated in the images on the
following page.
· Remove the white cartridge cover and disinfect the cartridge cap by wiping
it up and down thoroughly at least two (2) times in each direction as
demonstrated in the images on the following page.
· It is very important to let the liquid from the wipe sit on the outer
surface for at least two (2) minutes. Be extremely careful to avoid getting
liquid onto the test strip port.
The following images demonstrate how to wipe to clean and disinfect your Dario
System.
65
To ensure effective disinfection, let the solution sit on the meter, housing,
orange lancet cover, and white cartridge cover for at least two (2) minutes.
Allow the meter, housing, orange lancet cover, white cartridge cover and
cartridge cap to completely dry before use. Wipe off any remaining residues
with a clean, soft, and dry paper cloth.
Your Dario System has an expected life of three (3) years. It should withstand
the cleaning and disinfection recommended (156 cycles) in this user guide.
It is recommended that you clean and disinfect the entire system at least once
per week and whenever you notice blood, dirt, or visible residue.
66
If you notice changes in appearance (such as color fading, cracking,
discoloration or display malfunctions) or you are obtaining results that are
not accurate, stop using the meter or lancing device and call customer

TEST STRIPS
Important: Dario test strips are designed for use with the Dario®, Dario® LC
and Dario® USB-C Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems. Please read these
instructions for use before using this product.
Product Description and The Principle of The Use Dario Blood Glucose Test
Strip is designed with an electrode that measures glucose levels. Glucose in
the blood sample mixes with reagent on the test strip that causes a small
electric current. The amount of current that is created depends on how much
glucose is in the blood.
The Dario, Dario LC and Dario USB-C meters measure the current that is created
and convert the measurement to the amount of glucose that is in the blood. The
blood glucose result is displayed on Dario App screen.
By touching a drop of blood to the tip of Dario Blood Glucose Test Strip, the
strip’s reaction chamber automatically draws the blood into the strip through
capillary action. When the chamber is full the Dario, Dario LC and Dario USB-C
meters start to measure the blood glucose level. It is a simple and practical
system for the daily monitoring of your blood glucose level.
STORAGE AND HANDLING 1. Store the test strips at room temperature between 36°F
and 90°F (2°C and 32°C). Do not freeze. Frozen and thawed reagents may cause
incorrect glucose results.
69
2. Keep the test strip port free of dust.
3. The test strip is sensitive to humidity, keep it in 10%-90% Relative
Humidity and cool environment.
4. Do not store in direct sunlight.
5. After pulling out the test strip from its cartridge, seal the cap of the
cartridge tightly to protect test strips.
6. Do not transfer test strips from one cartridge to another.
The Dario Test Strip is structured as follows:
Yellow Window Apply a drop of blood here.
Before Applying Blood This window should be completely yellow. · After
Applying Blood This window should be completely filled with the blood drop.
Electrodes Insert a strip with gold-colored bars up and toward the meter.
Reagent Composition (per strip)
Glucose oxidase (Aspergillus sp) Potassium ferricyanide Binder Stabilizer
1.5 unit 0.093mg 0.052mg 0.031mg
Precautions
· Use only fresh capillary whole blood by finger prick for blood glucose
testing.
· A test strip should be used according to the specified intended use.
70
· A test strip is for single use only. Do not reuse · Dario Blood Glucose Test
strips should be used
with Dario/Dario LC/Dario USB-C meters only. · Insert a test strip into the
test strip port in the
glucose meter with gold-colored bars facing up and toward the meter. · A test
strip is sensitive to humidity. Therefore, you should keep a test strip in the
specified cartridge, and after pulling out the test strip from its cartridge,
close the test strip cartridge cap immediately. · After removing a test strip
from its cartridge, you should use it within 3 minutes. · Do not use a test
strip expired 1 month from opening. Discard the cartridge 1 month after
opening. · Insert a test strip in the meter port gently until it goes no
further. · The blood sample for a test strip must be at least 0.3l in volume.
If there is not enough blood sample an inaccurate test may result. · Do not
apply blood to any site except the yellow window of a test strip. · Do not
touch the yellow window of a test strip. · Do not bend, cut or modify a test
strip. · Discard the used test strip as a biohazard.

Performing a Test
Refer to Chapter 4 TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL on page 44 for full list
of interfering substances.
Understanding Your Testing Result
Normal blood glucose result
· The American Diabetes Association suggests that the following expected
glucose values for individuals without diabetes: Before eating (FPG) < 100
mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) Two hours after meals (OGTT) < 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L).
· Consult with your healthcare professional for the blood glucose range that
is appropriate for you.
Test Result Range
The Dario, Dario LC and Dario USB-C meters read blood glucose results between
20-600 mg/dL (1.133.3 mmol/L).
Unexpected Results
High or low blood glucose results can indicate potentially serious medical
conditions. In case of an unexpected result, you should repeat the test
immediately using a new test strip. If your reading is still unexpected or the
reading is not consistent with how you feel, you should treat as prescribed by
your healthcare professional and/or contact your healthcare professional
immediately.
· If “High! Measure with a new strip, if recurs contact your physician
immediately” is displayed, your blood glucose result may be higher than 600
72
mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L). You may have high blood glucose. · If “Low! Measure with
a new strip, if recurs contact your physician immediately” is displayed, your
blood glucose result may be lower than 20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L). You may have low
blood glucose.
Control of The Unexpected Results
If your blood glucose result seems unusually high, low, or inconsistent with
your previous results or glucose trends and does not reflect the way you feel,
check the following:
· Repeat the test with a new strip. · Run a control solution test with Dario
Glucose
Control Solution. · If the control solution test result is within the
acceptable range, review proper testing procedure and repeat your blood
glucose test with a new test strip. If your blood glucose value is still
inconsistent with your previous results, glucose trends, or how you feel,
please contact your healthcare professional. Follow the advice of your
healthcare professional before you change your therapy.
Causes of Unexpected Results
· Was the blood sample applied to the test strip within 3 minutes of removing
it from the cartridge?
· Was the size of the blood sample sufficient to fill the yellow window?
· Was the test strip cartridge cap tightly sealed?
73
· Was the test strip used before the expiration date?
· Were the test strips stored at extreme temperatures such as in the car
during very cold or hot weather?
· Were the test strips stored in areas of high humidity such as the kitchen or
the bathroom?
Checking by a Control Solution
Control solution test
Control solution check ensures that you are doing a test correctly and that
your system is working properly. Make sure you use the proper control solution
for the test strips you have: Dario® Blood Glucose Test Strips require Dario®
Glucose Control Solution.
When should I run a control solution test?
· If you leave the cartridge cap open. · Before using your meter for the first
time. · When you open a new cartridge of test strips. · If you drop the meter.
· Whenever your result does not agree with the
way you feel. · If you have repeated a test, and the blood glucose
result is still lower or higher than expected.
· When you want to check the performance of the
meter and test strip Do not use Dario Control Solution expired 3
! months from opening. Therefore, please

TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND SPECIFICATIONS
This chapter provides technical information about your Dario System.
How the Glucose Meter Works The Dario System determines the amount of glucose
in fresh capillary blood using electrochemical biosensor technology. An
electrical current is generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent on
the test strip (glucose oxidase). The strength of the current produced by the
reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample. The glucose
meter detects the current and converts it into a blood glucose reading.
Compatibility Dario is compatible for use on selected smart mobile devices.
For a complete list of compatible devices, please refer to: · USA:
www.mydario.com/support/getting-started/ · Canada:
