Intended Use
The EasyTouch
®
GCU Monitoring System is designed for in
vitro diagnostic use only (external use only), and is suitable
for self-testing. The system is for healthcare professionals and
persons with diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, or hyperuricemia to
measure glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid. Simply add a drop
of blood to the test strip, and the result is displayed on the screen
in 10 seconds for glucose, 150 seconds for cholesterol, and 20
seconds for uric acid.
Test Principle
Blood glucose, cholesterol and uric acid measurements are
based on electrical current changes caused by the reaction
of glucose, cholesterol, or uric acid with the reagent on the
electrode of the corresponding strip.

Inserting the Batteries
If display shows «conn», please press any botton or re-install the
batteries again.
1. Remove the battery cover
from the back of the meter.
2. Insert two AAA batteries
into the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Setting the Time and Date
When you insert new batteries, the meter automatically enters date
and time setting. Set the correct date before using the meter.
1. Press «S» to change to the current year.
2. Press «M» to shift to the month setting.
3. Adjust the month by pressing «S» until the current month appears.
4. Repeat this process to set the date, hour and minute.
5. Simply wait for the meter to turn off automatically.
Using the Check Strip
Insert the check strip into the test strip slot on the
meter.The screen should display «OK». If «X» appears
on the screen, remove the check strip and reinsert it.
If «X» is displayed again, call our customer support.
Do not test until the meter is working properly.
Use the check strip to check the meter when:
— You use the EasyTouch
®
GCU Monitoring System for the first time.
— You drop the meter.
— You think there is something wrong with the results you got and you
want to check whether the meter and test strips are working correctly.
Control Testing —
What control test is
By using control solution that has a measured amount of glucose,
cholesterol, or uric acid, you can check if your meter and strips are
accurate. If your control results fall within the range on the test strip
vial, you can be sure that the system is working properly.
When to perform a control test
Perform a control test when you think there is something wrong with
your measurement and you want to check if the meter and test strips
are working correctly.

Glucose/Cholesterol/Uric Acid Code Key
Always write down the opening date of your glucose, cholesterol or uric
acid control solution bottle and test strip vial.
Glucose strips and control solution expire three months after first
opening or until the expiration date, whichever comes first. Cholesterol
strips and control solution expire two months after first opening or until
the expiration date, whichever comes first. Uric acid strips and control
solution expire three months after first opening or until the expiration
date, whichever comes first. The meter stores control test results in its
memory, where they appear just like test results.
Control Testing Steps
1. Insert the glucose, cholesterol or uric acid code key
into the code key slot on the back of the meter.
2. Take one glucose, cholesterol, or uric acid strip from
the vial. Close the vial quickly.
3. Insert the test strip into the test strip slot on the meter.
The meter first displays the code number, and then
the blood symbol «S».
4. Hold the glucose, cholesterol, or uric acid control
solution bottle upside down and slowly squeeze the
bottle to form a small drop. Discard the first drop of
the solution. Squeeze out a second drop and let it
touch the edge of the sample target area on the test
strip. The test strip draws the control solution into the
targeting zone.
5. Immediately after the meter sounds a beep, close the
cap of the control solution. The meter then counts
Glu
down from 10 for glucose, 150 for cholesterol, or 20
for uric acid, and displays your result on the screen.
6. Check if the displayed value falls within the
pm
acceptable range shown on the test strip vial.

7. Remove the test strip from the meter and discard it.

Understanding Control Test Results
You will find the acceptable range of glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid
levels for normal and high controls on the test strip vial label. If your
control results fall within the acceptable range, you can begin to test your
blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid levels. If your control results are
not within the acceptable range, consider the following items:
— Are your test strips or control solutions expired?
— Have you ever forgotten to close your test strip vials or control
solution bottles?
— Does the code in the meter match the code on the test strip vial?
— Did you follow all the operating instructions correctly?
Repeat the control test with a new test strip, following the steps exactly.
If you continue to receive control values that are outside of the acceptable
range, discontinue your blood testing and call customer service or your
healthcare provider immediately.

Preparing the Puncturer
Blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid monitoring devices and
lancing devices can transmit bloodborne pathogens.
To avoid infection, you should:
— Never reuse the lancets.
— Never share your puncturer with others.
— Always use a new, sterile lancet each time a test is performed.
— Always use an alcohol pad to wipe blood off of the puncturer’s
tip after use.
For safety and to prevent cross-contamination, always place
the protective cover back on before discarding the used lancets.
To avoid injury, do not leave a used lancet in the puncturer.
Always remove used lancets immediately after a test.
Please read puncturer’s instruction for use manual before use
Blood Glucose Testing
®
The first time you use the EasyTouch
GCU Meter or
open a new test strip vial, insert the code key from
the test strip vial. Each test strip vial contains one
code key. Make sure the number on the code key
matches the code number on the vial of test strips
you use.
1. Take one strip from the vial of glucose test strips.
Close the vial quickly.
2. Insert the test strip into the test strip slot on the
meter. The meter first displays the code number,
and then the blood symbol «S».
3. Clean your finger with an alcohol swab. Let it dry
completely.
To increase blood flow to the lancing site, use warm water to wash
your hands, and let your arm hang down at your side.
4. Place the puncturer on your finger.
5. Press the trigger on the puncturer.
6. Withdraw the puncturer.
It is very important that you put enough blood on your test strip so that
the entire reaction zone is covered. This ensures that your meter can
give accurate and reliable results.
7. Wipe away the first drop of blood and allow a
second drop to form.
8. Touch the drop of blood to the top of the test strip
target area. The target area turns red as the strip
absorbs the blood. The testing reaction starts
when the meter sounds a beep.
9. The meter then counts down from 10, shows
your result on the screen, and stores your result
in its memory automatically.
10. Record your glucose value on the provided log
sheet.

Blood Cholesterol Testing
The first time you use the EasyTouch
®
GCU
Meter or open a new test strip vial, insert the
code key from the test strip vial. Each test
strip vial contains one code key. Make sure
the number on the code key matches the code
number on the vial of test strips you use.
1. Take one strip from the vial of cholesterol
test strips. Close the vial quickly.
2. Insert the test strip into the test strip slot on
the meter. The meter first displays the code
number, and then the blood symbol «S».
3. Clean your finger with an alcohol swab. Let
it dry completely.
4. Place the puncturer on your finger.
5. Press the trigger on the puncturer.
6. Withdraw the puncturer.
7. Wipe away the first drop of blood and allow
a second one to form.
The blood volume needed in cholesterol test is
significantly more than that in glucose test. You
need to apply a 15 μl blood sample in cholesterol
test and a 4 μl blood sample in glucose test.
8. Touch the drop of blood to the side of the
test strip target area. The target area turns
red as the strip absorbs the blood. Apply
blood until the meter sounds a beep. The
meter then counts down from 150 seconds,
shows your result on the screen, and stores
your result in its memory automatically.
9. Record your cholesterol value on the
provided log sheet.
The following are ranges for blood cholesterol
levels:
Desirable
160 — 200 mg/dL
Borderline High
200 — 239 mg/dL
High
> 240 mg/dL

The above range is just for reference, and it may not apply to
everyone. If your blood cholesterol is borderline high or high,
discuss these results with your healthcare provider.
Consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate range for you.
