alcohol swab or soapy water. Use warm water wash hands to increase blood flow if

necessary. Then dry your hands and the test site thoroughly. Make sure there is no

cream or lotion on the test site.

9

Getting a Blood Drop and Testing

Here is an example of how to use a VivaChek™ Safety Lancet for fingertip

blood sampling. If you use a different single—use auto—disabling safety lancet

or lancing device, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Carefully rotate and pull off the protective cap.

Avoid placing your thumb or fingers over the

uncapped end of the safety lancet.

2. Hold the safety lancet against the puncture site.

Note: Before using a single—use auto—disabling

safety lancet for blood sampling, wash both hands

with soap and warm water and disinfect the puncture

site with a topical skin antiseptic such as an alcohol

swab.

3. Gently press the safety lancet against the puncture

site to lance the skin. Listen for an audible click. This

indicates that the safety feature of the device has

been activated. Dispose of the lancet in an

appropriate biohazard sharps container. Please see

the Caution Statement.

4. Gently massage from the surrounding area toward

the puncture site to collect the required blood

volume.

For the greatest reduction in pain, lance on the sides

of the fingertips. Rotation of sites is recommended. Repeated punctures in

the same spot can make fingers sore and callused.

Caution Statement

• Do not use the single—use auto—disabling safety lancet if the cap is

missing or loose.

• Always use a new, sterile single-use auto—disabling safety lancet. Do

not reuse the single—use auto—disabling safety lancet.

• Avoid getting the single—use auto—disabling safety lancet dirty with hand

lotion, oil, dirt or debris.

• Single—use auto—disabling safety lancets appropriate biohazard sharps

container. If a biohazard sharps container is not available use a heavy

duty plastic container such as a laundry detergent bottle. Ensure the

container is leak—resistant and has a hard puncture proof lid. Do not

place loose sharps into the trash and do not flush down the toilet. Do

not place sharps into the recycle bin as they are not recyclable.

10

5. Immediately touch the tip of the test strip to the drop of blood. The blood

pulled into the test strip through the tip. Make sure that the blood sample

has been fully filled the check window on the strip tip. Hold the tip of the test

strip in the blood drop until the meter beeps.

Note:

If the blood sample does not fill the check window, do not add a second drop.

Discard the test strip and start over with a new test strip.

6. The meter counts down 5 seconds and your result appears on the display

after a beep. The test result will automatically be stored in the meter

memory. Please do not touch the test strip during the countdown as this

may result in an error.

Discard the Used Test Strip

You can discard the used test strip by slide the strip ejector to the direction of arrow.

Meter turns off automatically after a beep.

Potential Biohazard

Dispose of the used test strips as medical waste.

Alternative Site Testing

The forearm and palm areas have less nerve endings than the fingertip. Because

of this, you may find that obtaining blood from these sites is less painful than from

the fingertip. The procedure for forearm and palm sampling is different. You need

the lancing device with clear cap to draw blood from these sites. The clear cap is

not adjustable for puncture depth. And our starter kit is not included the lancing

device, and please contact Customer Support at 800—951—8430 for information

about purchasing the lancing device. Please contact your health care professional

if you need help.

Blood samples for glucose testing may be taken from sites other than your

fingertips. Alternative site testing using blood from the forearm or palm may give

glucose results that significantly differ from fingertip blood. Differences occur when

11

blood glucose levels are changing rapidly, such as after a meal, after insulin, and

during or after exercise.

The lancing device with clear cap is not included in the kit. Please purchase it

separately if you need. Please refer to the lancing device insert which you

purchase for AST testing.

1. Unscrew the lancing device cover from the body of the lancing device. Insert a

sterile lancet into the lancing device and push it until the lancet is fully inserted.

2. Hold the lancet firmly in the lancing device and twist the safety tab of the lancet

until it is loose, then pull the safety tab off the lancet. Save the safety tab for

disposing of the used lancet.

3. Screw the clear cap onto the lancing device.

4. Choose a puncture site on the forearm or palm. Select a soft and fleshy area of

the forearm or palm that is clean and dry, away from bone, and free of visible

veins and hair. To bring fresh blood to the surface of the puncture site, massage

the puncture site vigorously for a few seconds until you feel it getting warm.

12

5. Place the lancing device against the puncture site. Press and hold the clear

cap against the puncture site for a few seconds. Press the release button of

the lancing device, but do not immediately lift the lancing device from the

puncture site. Continue to hold the lancing device against the puncture site

until you can confirm a sufficient blood sample has formed.

Notes:

• Consult your doctor or health care professional to determine if alternative site

testing is right for you.

• Alternative site testing is not recommended if you have hypoglycemic

unawareness (you do not recognize the symptoms of or cannot tell when you

have low blood glucose). Please consult with your doctor or health care

professional if you have a low blood glucose level.

• Select a soft, fleshy area of skin that is free from hair, moles and visible veins

for alternative site testing. Wash the site with soap and warm water, then rinse

and dry thoroughly.

• Use alternative site testing for blood glucose tests only when it is more than 2

hours after: ·A meal ·Taking medication · Exercise

IMPORTANT: There are important differences among forearm, palm and fingertip

samples that you should know. Important Information about forearm and palm

glucose testing:

• You should consult your doctor before choosing to perform forearm or palm

testing.

• When blood levels are changing rapidly, such as after a meal, insulin dose or

exercise, blood from the fingertips may show these changes more rapidly than

blood from other areas.

• You should use fingertips if testing is within 2 hours of a meal, insulin dose or

exercise. You should also use fingertip testing any time you feel glucose levels

are changing rapidly.

• You should test with the fingertips anytime there is a concern for hypoglycemia

or you suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness.

13

Expected Diabetes Control Goal:

Blood glucose values will vary depending on food intake, medication dosages,

health, stress, or exercise. Ideally, to control the glucose level as close to a normal

(non—diabetic) blood glucose level as you safely can.

Expected blood glucose levels for people without diabetes:1

Time Range, mg/dL Range, mmol/L

Fasting and Before Meals 70—100 3.9 – 5.6

2 hours after meals Less than 140 Less than 7.8

Reference:

1. ADA Clinical Practice Recommendations, 2015.

Warning:

• If your blood glucose reading is under 50 mg/dL or you see LO (less than

20 mg/dL) on the meter display, contact your health care professional as

soon as possible.

• If you test result is above 250 mg/dL or you see HI (greater than 600 mg/dL)

on the meter display, contact your health care professional as soon as

possible.

• Do not change your medication therapy based on VivaChek™ Ino Sound

test result before consult your health care provider.

• If you want to mark your result (only in Advanced Mode (L-2)) you will need

to do it before removing the test strip.

Questionable or Inconsistent Results:

If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel, please:

• Check the expiration date and the discard date of the test strip. Make sure

that the test strip vial has not been opened for more than 4 months.

• Confirm the temperature in which you are testing is between 41—113°F.

• Make sure that the test strip vial has been tightly capped.

• Make sure the test strip has been stored at 36—86°F, 10—90% humidity..

• Make sure the test strip was used immediately after removing from the test

strip vial (or the foil pouch).

• Make sure that you followed the test procedure correctly.

• Perform a control solution test (See Performing a Control Test for

instructions).

After checking all of the conditions listed above, repeat the test with a new test strip.
