INTRODUCTION

Regular monitoring of your blood glucose levels can help you and your doctor gain better control of your diabetes. Dr Trust Gold Standard Blood Glucose Monitoring System – 9001 is the next generation Blood Glucose monitor using advanced GDH-FAD Enzyme technology to measure accurate blood glucose using GDH-FAD enzyme. Fast and accurate testing in just 5 seconds is ensured with only 0.5 µL blood sample. While due to its compact size and easy operation, you can use it to easily monitor your blood glucose levels by yourself anywhere, anytime.

Intended Use:
This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by health care professionals in clinical settings. It is intended to be used for the quantitative measurements of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples (from the finger, palm, forearm, and upper arm), and from venous whole blood. It should not be used for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes. Professionals may test with capillary and venous blood sample; home use is limited to capillarywhole blood testing.

Test Principle:
Your system measures the amount of glucose in whole blood. The glucose testing is based on the measurement of electrical current generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the strip. The meter measures the current, calculates the glucose level, and displays the result. The strength of the current produced by the reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Use this device ONLYfor the intended use described in this manual.

• Do NOT use accessories which are not specified by the manufacturer.

• Do NOT use the device if it is not working properly or if it is damaged.

• This device does NOT serve as a cure for any symptoms or diseases. The data measured is for reference only. Always consult your doctor to have the results interpreted.

• Before using this device to test blood glucose, read all instructions thoroughly and practice the test. Carry out all the quality control checks as directed.

• Keep the device and testing accessories away from young children. Small items such as the battery cover, batteries, test strips, lancets and vial caps are choking hazards.

• Do NOT use this device in close proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic radiation, as these may interfere with the accurate operation and results.

• Proper maintenance and periodically control solution tests are essential to maintain the longevity of your device.

• If you are concerned about accuracy of measurement, please follow all the instructions shared in this manual or take help from a medical practitioner.
  Important Note:

• Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings which are lower than actual values. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.

• If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual, and you do not have any symptoms of illness, first repeat the test. If you have symptoms and continue to get results which are higher or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.

• Use only fresh whole blood samples to test your blood glucose. Using other substances wi I I lead to incorrect resu Its.

• If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent, you’re your blood glucose test results and you have followed all the instructions given in this owner’s manual, contact your healthcare professional.

• We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive individuals or patients in shock. Please consult the healthcare professional before use.

• The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of blood or plasma glucose can either have a weight dimension (mg/ dl) or a molarity (mmol/L). The approximate calculation rule for conversion of mg/dl in mmol/Lis:

For example:

1. 120 mg/dl + 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2. 7.2 mmol/Lxl8 = 129 mg/dl approximately.

   Warning:
   When doing the control solution test, you have to mark it so that the test results will NOT mix with the TEST RESULTS stored in the memory. Failure to do so will mix up the test results with the control solution test results in memory.

3. Apply control solution
   Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before use. Squeeze out the first drop and wipe it off, then squeeze out another drop and place it on the tip of the vial cap. Hold the meter to move the absorbent hole of the test strip to touch the drop. Once the confirmation windowfills completely, the meter will begin counting down.
   NOTE:
   To avoid contaminating the control solution, do not directly apply control solution on a strip.

TESTING WITH BLOOD SAMPLE

Preparing the Lancing Device for Blood Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for collecting a blood sample.

Preparing the Puncture Site
Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site before blood extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value obtained. Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a measurably different glucose concentration than blood from the finger. When the puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference was significantly reduced.

Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of blood:

• Wash and dry your hands before starting the test.
• Select the puncture site either at fingertips or another body parts (please see section “Alternative Site Testing” (ASD on how to select the appropriate sites).
• Rub the puncture site for about20 seconds before penetration.
• Clean the puncture site using cotton moistened with 70% alcohol and let it air dry.

Warning:
To reduce the chance of infection:

• Never share a lancet or the lancing device.
• Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
• Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets and the lancing device.

COLLECTING BLOOD SAMPLE

Fingertip testing
Press the lancing device’s tip firmly against the lower side of your fingertip. Press the release button to prick your finger, and then a click indicates that the puncture is complete.

Blood from sites other than the fingertip
Replace the lancing device cap with the clear cap for AST. Pull the cocking control back until it clicks. When lancing the hand, avoid lancing the areas with obvious veins because of excessive bleeding.

NOTE:

• Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures at the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
• Please consult your health care professional before you begin AST.

Performing a Blood Test:
To perform a blood test, you will need: glucometer device, test strip, lancing device and sterile lancet

1. lnsert theteststripto turn on the meter
   Wait forthe meter to display the “ “and ” “

2. .Select the appropriate measuring mode by pressing M.

3. Obtaining a blood sample
   Use the pre-set lancing device to puncture the desired site. The size of the drop should be at least as big as (actual size), which is 0.5 microliter(µL) of volume for blood glucose test.
   Gently squeeze the punctured area to obtain another drop of blood. Be careful NOTto smear the blood sample.

4. Apply the sample
   Gently apply the drop of blood to the absorbent hole of the test strip at a tilted angle. Confirmation window should be filled if enough blood samples have been applied. Do NOTremove yourfingeruntilyou hear a beep sound.
   NOTE:

   • Do not press the punctured site against the test strip or try to smear the blood.
   • If you do not apply a blood sample to the test strip within 3 minutes, the meter will automatically turn off. You must remove and reinsert the test strip to start a new test.
   • The confirmation window should be filled with blood before the meter begins to count down. NEVER try to add more blood to the test strip after the drop of blood has moved away. Discard the used test strip and retest with a new one. If
   • you have trouble filling the confirmation window, please contact your health care professional or the local customer service for assistance.

5. Read Your Result
   The result of your testwill appear after the meter counts down to 0. The result will be stored in the memory automatically.

Eject the used test strip

• Eject the test strip by pushing the eject button on the side. Use a sharp bin to dispose of used test strips. The meterwill switch itselfoff automatically.

Always follow the instructions in the lancing device for inserting and removing the lancet safely.
WARNING:
The used lancet and test strip may be biohazardous. Please discard them carefully according to your local regulations.

ALTERNATIVE SITE TESTING

You can test on a variety of locations on your body.

Important:

• There are limitations with AST (Alternative Site Testing).
• Please consultyour health care professional before you perform AST. Areas for the Hand

When to use AST?
Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affect blood glucose levels. Capillary blood at the fingertip reflects these changes faster than capillary blood at other sites. Thus, when testing blood glucose during or immediately after a meal, physical exercise, or any other event, take a blood sample from your finger only.

We strongly recommend that you perform AST ON LY at the following times:

• In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).
• Two hours or more after taking insulin.
• Two hours or more after exercise.

Do NOT use AST if:

• You think your blood glucose is low.
• You are unaware of hypoglycemia.
• You aretestingfor hyperglycemia.
• Your AST results do not match theway you feel.
• Your routine blood glucose results often fluctuate.
