Ace Medical Technology AM100PK Acezin SuperGold Blood Glucose and Ketone Monitoring System User Manual

Performing Blood Glucose Test

1. Wash Your Hands and the Puncture Site: hands in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. Warm your fingers to increase blood flow.
2. Insert Test Strip: Remove a new test strip from the vial. Be sure to tightly replace the vial cap after removing the test strip insert the test strip immediately into the strip slot as illustrated. The meter turns on automatically. When the blood symbol blinking, you are ready to perform a test.
3. Select and Lance a Puncture Site: Hold the prepared lancing device firmly against the side of your fingertip. Press the release button.
4. Obtain a Blood Sample: Gently massage your finger or puncture site to obtain the required blood volume. To perform the test, you need only 0.85 pL of the blood sample. Do not smear the blood sample. To obtain the best accurate result, wipe off the first drop of blood and gently squeeze another drop of blood.
5. Apply Blood Sample: Apply the blood sample to the opening of the absorbent channel of the test strip until the confirmation window is fully covered with blood. Then the meter begins to count down and displays the test result in 5 seconds
6. Read Your Result: The meter beeps when blood is detected, and the user can then move your finger away. The glucose test result is displayed in 5 seconds. The result is shown on the display.
7. Per/Post-meal: With Meal Comment Function on, test result appears with flashing symbol, depending on the setting.
8. Remove Strip to Turn Meter Off: Your blood glucose result is automatically stored in the meter memory. Turn the meter off by removing the test strip. Discard the used strip and lancet safely in a puncture-resistant container. Users can either take out the used strip by pushing and sliding the Strip Eject button or remove the test strip directly to shut the meter off.
9. Remove the Lancing Device Cap when finished: Put the Protective Cap back onto the exposed needle of the lancet.
10. Direct the lancing device away from you and slide the Lancet Ejector in a forward motion, disposing of the lancet in an approved container.

Memory Recall

Tne ACEZIN SUPERGold Meter automatically stores 1000 glucose test results, letting you review them in order from the most recent to the oldest. The meter also calculates and displays 7, 14, 30, 60, and 90-day averages. You can review the individual or average test result by entering the memory mode.

Recall the Memory

STEP 1. Enter the Memory Mode PRESS M BUTTON to turn on the meter, and press M bottom again to enter memory mode.
STEP 2. Recalling Average Test Results When entering the memory mode, the 7-day average will appear. If you continue to press the M BUTTON, the 14-day, 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day averages will display in order.
STEP 3. Recalling Individual Test Results After the 90-day average, the most recent test result with date and time will be shown. Press M BUTTON once and the next most recent test result will appear. Each time you press and release the M BUTTON, the meter will recall up to your last 1000 test results in order. When the memory is full, the oldest result is dropped as the newest is added.
STEP 4. Exit the Memory Mode After reaching the last set of results, the meter will display “OFF” and turn off. Anytime in the memory mode, you can press and hold M BUTTON for 3 seconds to turn off the meter.

Deleting Individual Memory

2. Press SET BUTTON. The deleting symbol “dEl” appears on the display which confirms that the selected test result has been deleted successfully.
3. The meter will return to the next individual memory recall.

Control Solution Testing

If your ACEZIN control solution did not come with an ACEZIN Control Solution Instruction, the following information shall take the place of the instruction. ACE IN control solutions contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with ACEZIN SUPERGold test strips. By testing the control solution and comparing the test results with the expected range printed on the test strip vial label, you can make sure that the meter and the test strips are working properly together as a system and that you are performing the test correctly. It is very important that you do this simple check routinely to make sure you get accurate results. Why perform a control solution test?

1. To ensure that your meter and test strip are working properly together.
2. To allow you to practice testing without using your own blood.

When should the control solution test be performed?

1. When you first get yourACEZINSUPERGoemeter. Before using this system to test your blood, you can practice the procedure by using a control solution. When you can do three tests in a row that are within the expected range, you are ready to test your blood.
2. Once a week (to make sure that you continue to get accurate results)
3. When you begin using a new vial of test strips.
4. Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.
5. When your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel, or when you think your results are not accurate.
6. When test strips are exposed to extreme environmental conditions.
7. If you drop the meter.

Important Control Solution Information

1. Check the expiration date on the control solution bottle. Do not use if expired.
2. Control solution, meter, and test strips should come to room temperature (68-77 °F120-25°C) before testing.
3. Shake the bottle before use, discard the first drop of control solution after squeezing, wipe off the dispenser tip to avoid contaminations. These steps ensure you will get a good sample and an accurate result.
4. Record the discard date on the bottle when you open a new bottle of control solution.

NOTE:

1. There are two levels of control solution (medium and high) available to purchase. Please contact your local distributor when required.
2. The control solution range printed on the test strip vial is for ACEZIN Control Solution only. It is used to test meter and strip performance. It is not recommended range for your blood glucose level.

Composition:

1. D-Glucose Polyvinyl acetate (aqueous emulsion)
2. Fumed silica
3. Sodium Benzoate
4. Disodium EDTA
5. Food Pigment Red No.6
6. Antifoaming agent (Polyethylene Glycol 4000)

How to Perform a Control Test

1. Insert Test Strip: Insert a new test strip into the strip slot. the meter will activate.
2. Mark as a Control Solution Test: After the blood symbol (6) appears, press M BUTTON and “61” appears on the display indicating you are in the Control Solution Mode. The meter will not store your test result in the memory when you preset the test as a control solution test. If you decide not to perform a control solution test, press M BUTTON again and the %a” will disappear.
3. Squeeze a drop of Control Solution: Shake the control solution bottle well. Remove the cap. Squeeze the bottle, discard the first drop, and wipe off the dispenser tip with a clean tissue paper or cotton swab. Squeeze a drop on a clean non-absorbent surface.
4. Apply Control Solution: Apply the drop to the opening of the strip absorbent channel until the meter beeps. The meter begins to count down.
5. Check if the test result is in the range: After the meter counts down from 5 to 1, the test result shows up. Compare the test result with the range printed on the test strip vial. The result should fall within the printed range.

NOTE:

1. DO NOT APPLY THE CONTROL SOLUTION DIRECTLY TO THE TEST STRIP! The overdosed solution may give inaccurate results.
2. Repeat the test if the test result falls outside the control range stated on the test strip label. If a subsequent test remains to produce an unacceptable result, the meter or test strip may be faulty. DO NOT use the system. Contact us or your local distributor for help.
