TRUENESS Blood Glucose Test Strips Instructions
Intended Use: The TRUENESS™ blood glucose test strip is used only with TRUENESS™ and TRUENESS™ AIR blood glucose meters to quantitatively measure glucose in capillary whole blood from the nger. It is intended for use by people with diabetes mellitus at home as an aid in monitoring the eectiveness of their diabetes control program. It is intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared. It is for in vitro diagnostic use only. It should not be used for the screening or diagnosis of diabetes. It is not intended for use on neonates.
Limitations:
- For in vitro diagnostic use only.
- For self-testing.
- Not for use on the critically ill.
- Not for neonatal use.
- Not for screening or diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
- Not for alternative site testing (AST) use.
- Xylose: Do not perform test during or soon aer xylose absorption testing. High xylose level in the blood will cause inaccurate results.
- Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. If you believe you are sufferings from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
- Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or patients in shock.
- Inaccurate results may also occur in individuals experiencing a hyperosmolar-hyperglycemic-state (HHS).
- For single patient use only and should not be shared.
- NOT intended for use in healthcare or assisted-use settings such as hospitals, physician oces, or long-term care facilities, including for routine assisted testing or as part of glycemic control procedures.
- The meter and lancing device are for single patient use! DO NOT share them with anyone including other family members! DO NOT use on multiple patients. Use of this device on multiple patients may lead to transmission of Human Immunodeciency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), or other blood borne pathogens.
Important Safety Instructions:
Read this section before using the TRUENESS™ blood glucose test strip. Always take the following basic safety precautions:
-
Insucient sample may cause inaccurate test results.
-
If you have symptoms that do not reect your blood glucose test results, and you have followed all instructions described in this insert, call your healthcare professional.
-
DO NOT change your treatment based on a single result that does not match how you feel.
-
DO NOT use other brands of blood glucose test strips and control solutions with the
TRUENESS™/TRUENESS™AIR blood glucose meter. -
Before using any product to test your blood glucose level, read all instructions and practice a test. Do all quality control checks as directed and consult your diabetes healthcare professional.
-
Keep the test strip vial and control solution bottle away from children. e test strip vial, test strip, and control solution bottles can be choking hazards. Do not drink the control solution.
-
Test strips are considered biohazardous once they have been used for a blood test. ey can potentially transmit infectious diseases, even aer cleaning and disinfection.
-
If your blood glucose result is below 70 mg/dL (or a low glucose level per your healthcare professional’s instruction), or the meter displays “LO” (less than 40 mg/dL), retest with a new test strip. If you get a similar result, call your healthcare professional immediately.
-
If your blood glucose result is above 200 mg/dL (or a high glucose level per your healthcare professional’s instruction), or the meter displays “HI” (greater than 600 mg/dL), retest with a new test strip. If you get a similar result call your healthcare professional immediately.

Test Principle: A glucose test is based on measurement of electrical current
caused by the reaction of glucose with the FAD glucose dehydrogenase enzyme on
the electrode of the test strip. e blood or control solution sample is drawn
into the tip of the test strip through capillary action. Glucose in the sample
reacts with the FAD glucose dehydrogenase enzyme and generates electrons,
which produce an electrical current. e blood glucose meter measures the
electrical current and calculates the glucose result. e glucose result is
displayed by the meter in mg/dL units.
Test Environment:
Temperature: 50°F – 104°F (10℃-40℃)
Relative Humidity: 10%-90%
Sample Requirements:
Sample size: 1μL / Test time: 5 seconds
Sample type: capillary blood samples.
Applicable Meter: The TRUENESS™ blood glucose test strip is intended to
be used with the TRUENESS™ and
TRUENESS™ AIR blood glucose meters.
Test Method:
Getting ready to test: Refer to the blood glucose meter owner’s booklet
for more detailed information.
-
Allow blood glucose meter and test strips to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. If opening vial for the rst time, write date opened on vial label.
-
Check the opening date and printed expiry date on test strip vial label. Do not use affer either date printed on the test strip vial label or 6 months aer date opened, whichever comes rst. Discard vial and test with new vial.
-
Wash hands with soap and water and wipe dry.
-
Remove one test strip from vial. Recap vial right away.
-
Insert test strip into test strip port of blood glucose meter. Blood glucose meter turns on. Do not remove test strip from blood glucose meter until testing is nished.
-
Obtain blood drop. Refer to lancing device Instructions for Use for detailed instructions on cleaning and disinfecting the ngertip.
-
With test strip still in blood glucose meter, apply the blood sample to the tip of the Test Strip Reaction Zone.
Allow blood to be drawn into test strip. Remove test strip from drop immediately aer the blood glucose meter beeps. -
Result is displayed. Record result.
-
Hold blood glucose meter with test strip pointing down. Press strip eject button to discard test strip into appropriate trash container.
WARNING! Treat used test strips and lancets as a biological risk. Discard
used test strips and lancets carefully according to your healthcare
professional’s instructions or dispose them in an appropriate trash container.

Expected Results for people without diabetes:
Plasma Blood Glucose Result¹
Before Eating < 100 mg/dL
2 hours after a meal < 140 mg/dL
For people with diabetes: Please consult your healthcare professional for your
blood glucose range. If you have poor circulation, testing your own blood
glucose may not be suitable for you. Ask your healthcare provider. You should
treat your low or high blood glucose as recommended by your healthcare
provider.
With these test strips, your blood glucose meter displays blood concentrations
that refer to plasma values although you apply whole blood to the test strip.

Explanation of Test Results:
Unusual test results: If “LO” is displayed on your blood glucose meter, your
blood glucose may be below 40 mg/dL. If “HI” is displayed on your blood
glucose meter, your blood glucose may be over 600 mg/dL. For detailed
information on error codes, please refer to your meter Owner’s Booklet. If
your blood glucose result does not match how you feel, follow these steps:
- Repeat blood glucose test with a new test strip.
- Perform a control test with control solution.
- Check this list to help you solve the problem:
- Check the expiration date of the test strips.
- Ensure that the cap on the test strip vial is always closed tightly.
- Ensure that you use the test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
- Check that the test strips were stored in a cool, dry place.
- Check that you followed the test steps.
- Please refer to Owners Booklet for proper maintenance and handling procedures.
- If the blood glucose results are too low, too high, or doubtful, please contact your healthcare professional.
Performance Characteristics:
The TRUENESS™ test strip complies with the requirements of ISO 15197:2013 (in
vitro diagnostic test systems Requirements for blood glucose monitoring
systems for self-testing in managing diabetes mellitus).
Detection limit: (lowest value displayed): 40 mg/dL.
System measurement range: 40 -600 mg/dL.
Calibration: The system is calibrated with venous blood containing
various glucose concentrations. The reference values are obtained using a
validated test method. This test method is referenced to the hexokinase method
and is traceable to a NIST standard.
Accuracy for Home Use by Lay-Users:
The TRUENESS™ and TRUENESS™ AIR meter results may vary slightly from your
actual blood glucose value due to slight dierences in testing technique and
the natural variation in test technology. The table below shows the results
where typical users enrolled in a clinical study used the TRUENESS™ AIR meter
to measure their blood glucose levels. For example, in this study, the
TRUENESS™ AIR meter displayed results within 15% of their actual blood glucose
level in 345 out of 354 measurements as compared to an approved lab
instrument.
