ReliOn™ Premier COMPACT Blood Glucose Meter

ReliOn™ Premier COMPACT Blood Glucose Meter Display

NOTE

• The unit of measurement for your ReliOn™ Premier COMPACT Meter is preset and fixed in mg/dL.

Checking the System

ReliOn™ Premier COMPACT Blood Glucose Meter and Test Strips should be checked using ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions, available in two levels (Level 1 and 2). The ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions contain known amounts of glucose and are used to check that the meter and the test strips are working properly. The test strip vials have ReliOn™ Premier Control Solution ranges printed on their labels. Compare the result displayed on the meter to the ReliOn™ Premier Control Solution range printed on the test strip vial. Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips, you should conduct a control solution test following the procedure on page 7 with ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions.

NOTE

• Use ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions only (available for purchase separately).
• Check the expiration dates printed on the bottle. When you first open a control solution bottle, record the discard date (date opened plus three (3) months) in the space provided on the label.
• Make sure your meter, test strips, and control solutions are at room temperature before testing. Control solution tests must be done at room temperature 68–77 °F (20–25 °C).
• Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard the first 1 or 2 drops and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a temperature of 46–86 °F (8–30 °C).

Use ReliOn™ Premier Control Solution when:

• You want to practice the test procedure using the control solution, instead of blood.
• You use the meter for the first time.
• You begin using a new vial of test strips.
• You suspect that the meter or the test strips are not working properly.
• You think your test results are inaccurate or they do not reflect how you feel.
• The meter is dropped or damaged.

Control Solution Testing

Step 1
Insert a test strip into the meter’s test strip port, with the contact bars facing upwards until the meter beeps. Be careful not to bend the strip while pushing it in. The symbol will appear on the display.

|
---|---

Step 2
Shake the ReliOn™ Premier Control Solution bottle before each test. Removethe cap and squeeze the bottle to discardthe first 1 or 2 drops. Then  ipe the tip with a clean tissue or cloth. After the symbol appears on the display, apply the solution to the narrow edge of the test strip until the meter beeps. Make sure the confirmation window fills completely.

NOTE

• The meter will switch off if the control solution sample is not applied within 2 minutes of the symbol appearing on the screen.
• If the meter turns off, remove the strip, reinsert it. Then start from step 1.

Step 3
A test result will appear after the meter counts down from 5 to 1.
Step 4
Compare the result displayed on the meter to the range printed on the test strip vial. The result should fall within that range. Used test strips should be discarded safely in disposable containers.

CAUTION

• The ranges printed on the test strip vial are for ReliOn™ Premier Control Solutions only. They do not have any connection to your blood glucose level.

Comparing the Control Solution Test Results
The test result of each control solution should be within the range printed on the label of test strip vial. Repeat the control solution test if the test result falls outside of this range. Out of range results may occur due to the following factors:

•  When the control solution bottle was not shaken well.
•  When the meter, test strip, or the control solution were exposed to high or low temperatures.
•  When the first drop of the control solution was not discarded or the tip ofthe bottle was not wiped clean.
•  When the meter is not functioning properly.| Repeat the control solution test by
referring to the ‘NOTE’ on page 6.
•  When the control solution is past the expiration date printed on the bottle.
•  When the control solution is past its discard date (the date the bottle was opened plus three (3) months).
•  When the control solution is contaminated.| Discard the used control solution and repeat the test using a
new bottle of control solution.

CAUTION

• If results continue to fall outside the range printed on the test strip vial, the meter and test strip may not be working properly. Do not use your system and contact Customer Service: 1-855-776-0662, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central time, 7 days a week.

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 ReliOn™ Premier COMPACT Blood Glucose Monitoring System or any other medically approved lancing device.

• The lancing device is for use by a single user only and should not be shared with anyone including other family members.

CAUTION

• To reduce the chance of infection
• All components that come into contact with blood samples should be considered biohazardous and capable of transmitting viral diseases, even after disinfection.
• Do not use a lancet that has been used by another person and never share your meter and lancing device with anyone.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling your meter, lancing device and test strips.
• Keep your meter and lancing device clean. See the pre-cleaning and disinfection section on page 16.

NOTE

• Repeated puncturing at the same sample site may cause pain or skin calluses (thick, hard skin).
• Choose a different site each time you test.

Preparing the Lancing Device

| Step 1
Wash hands and the sample site with soap and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
---|---
| Step 2
Pinch and pull the cap to remove.
| Step 3
Insert a new disposable lancet firmly into the lancet holder.
| Step 4
Twist off the protective cover of the lancet and set it aside. Keep the protective cover to replace on top of the used lancet after testing.
| Step 5
Replace cap on the lancing device.
| Step 6
The lancing device has seven (7) puncture depth settings. The shorter lines are for a shallower puncture and the longer lines are for a deeper puncture. Adjust the depth of puncture
as necessary.
---|---
| Step 7
Cock the lancing device by holding the body in one hand and pulling on the charger. A click may be heard.

NOTE

• The skin depth to get blood samples will vary for various people at different sample sites.
• The adjustable tip of the lancing device allows the best depth of skin penetration for an adequate sample size.
• A beginning setting of three (3) is recommended.

Testing Your Blood Glucose Level

Step 1
Insert a test strip with the contact bars facing upwards into the meter’s test strip port. Push the test strip gently into the test strip port until the power automatically turns on and the symbol appears.

Step 2
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.
Step 3
After the symbol appears on the screen, apply the blood sample to the narrow end of the test strip until the meter beeps.
If the confirmation window is not filled in time because of abnormally high viscosity (thickness or stickiness) or insufficient volume, an ‘Er4’ message may appear. It is recommended that the application of blood sample to the test strip be performed virtually vertical to the sample site as shown in the diagram below.

Step 4
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 automatically switch off after three (3) seconds. Discard used test strip safely in a disposable container.

NOTE

• The meter will switch off if the blood sample is not applied within two (2) minutes of the symbol appearing on the screen.
• If the meter turns off, remove the test strip, reinsert it, and start from Step 2.

Discarding Used Lancets

Step 1
Pinch and pull the cap to remove.

Step 2
Place the protective cover on the lancet. Push the lancet ejector forward with the thumb to dispose of the used lancet in a proper biohazard container.

CAUTION

• Check for damages before using the lancet. If they have been damaged, please discard it and use other lancet.
• The lancet is very sharp. Please keep away from children.
• Keep the lancets in a cool and dry place.
• The lancet is for single use only.
• Never share or reuse a lancet.
• Always dispose of lancets properly.

Alternate Site Testing

What is AST (Alternate Site Testing)?
When someone tests their glucose, they take the blood sample from the tip of the finger. However, since there are many nerve endings distributed there, it can be painful.
When doing a glucose test, using different parts of the body, such as the forearms, palms, thighs, and calves, can reduce the pain during testing. This method of testing with different parts of the body is called Alternate Site Testing. While AST may reduce the pain during testing, it may not be simple for everyone and the following precautions should be observed during testing.

Alternate Site Blood Sampling (forearm, palm, thigh, calf)
Select a clean, soft and fleshy sample site area free of visible veins and hair and away from bones. Gently massage the sample site to help blood circulation to minimize result differences between fingertip and alternate site sampling. Firmly press and hold the lancing device against site. Wait until the skin surface under the lancing device changes color. Then press the release button while continuing to apply pressure. Keep holding the lancing device against your skin until sufficient (at least 0.5 μL) blood is drawn. Carefully lift the lancing device away from your skin.

CAUTION

•  AST results should never be used to calibrate Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems nor entered into an insulin dosing calculator or pump for dosing recommendations.

Things to know when using AST
Please read the following before testing at alternate sites (forearms, palms, thighs, and calves). The capillary whole blood of the fingertips reflects changes in glucose levels more rapidly than in alternate sites. The test results from the fingertip testing and AST may differ due to factors such as lifestyle and eating food which affect glucose levels.

Acceptable situations for AST

• Fasting period
• Before a meal

Situations requiring fingertip test

• When the glucose levels are rapidly increasing, such as during two (2) 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.
• Two (2) hours after an insulin injection.

AST Precautions

• Do not ignore the symptoms of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
• When the results of the test do not reflect the way you feel, retest using the fingertip. If the fingertip result still does not reflect the way you feel, please consult your healthcare professional.
• Do not rely on AST results for changing your treatment method.
• The amount of glucose in alternate sites differs from person to person.
• Before using AST, please consult your healthcare professional.

NOTE

• Results from alternate site and fingertip samples may differ from each other, as there is a time lag for the glucose levels to reach the same value.
• Use a fingertip sample if you suffer from hypoglycemia, or have experienced hypoglycemic shock or symptoms.
• If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact with hair or with a line in your palm, do not use that sample. Try puncturing again in a smoother area.

‘HI’ and ‘Lo’ Messages

The ReliOn™ Premier COMPACT Meter displays test results between 20 to 600 mg/dL.

‘HI’ appears when the blood glucose level is greater than 600 mg/dL and indicates severe hyperglycemia (much higher than normal glucose levels). If ‘HI’ is displayed again on retesting, please contact your healthcare professional immediately.

‘Lo’ appears when a test result is less than 20 mg/dL and indicates severe hypoglycemia (very low glucose levels). If ‘Lo’ is displayed again on retesting, please contact your healthcare professional immediately.

NOTE

• If the messages persist, please contact Customer Service: 1-855-776-0662, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central time, 7 days a week. At all other times or in case of emergency, contact your healthcare professional or emergency medical response.

Viewing Test Results in Meter Memory

Step 1
The meter memory can store up to ten (10) results at one time. The results will be saved in the order it was measured and you can view stored results by pushing the ****button.

Step 2
When the button is pushed, number ‘1’ will appear on the screen for one (1) second and then the result will be shown. This is the most recent test result that is saved in the memory. To go on to the second recent result, press the button again. Now number ‘2’ will appear for one (1) second and the next result will be displayed. By repeating this process, you can go through to result number 10 which is the oldest data saved in the memory. To exit from the memory mode, press and hold down the button for about two (2) seconds. The meter will turn off.
