Chapter 1 Introduction
*1: Although whole blood samples are used for measurement, displayed results
are equivalent to plasma glucose levels.
1.1 Intended Use
Your GLUCOCARDTM X-mini plus and GLUCOCARDTM X premium Test Strips
are for quantitatively measuring the glucose level in fresh capillary whole blood.
They are intended for use outside of the body (in vitro diagnostic use) at home
or in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor and control blood glucose levels. Do
not use them to diagnose diabetes. Also, do not alter treatment based on
the test results of this meter without instructions from your doctor or healthcare
professional.
 Store the meter at 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F).
 The meter is shipped with the batteries loaded. So, you can start testing
immediately. However, the batteries may not satisfy the “Battery life”.
 Product specifications and appearance are subject to change without notice.
1.2 Measurement Principle
Glucose in the blood reacts with the reagent in the test strip and this produces
a small electric current. The strength of this current is proportional to the
concentration of glucose in the blood. The meter measures this current and
calculates your glucose level.

Thank you for choosing the GLUCOCARD

TM

X-mini plus.

We have designed this compact blood glucose meter for faster and easier

testing of your blood glucose. We hope our product will help you manage your

diabetes. This manual explains how to use your new meter. Before testing,

carefully read through this manual and the package inserts that come with the

GLUCOCARD

TM

X premium Test Strips and GLUCOCARD

TM

X-METER

CONTROL. Pay particular attention to listed warnings and cautions. Please

keep this manual handy for future reference. If you have any questions, please

contact our authorized distributor(s) at the end of this manual.

NOTE

Store test strips in their original bottle to maintain quality. Do not transfer them

to other containers.

1.1 Intended Use

Your GLUCOCARD

TM

X-mini plus and GLUCOCARD

TM

X premium Test Strips

are for quantitatively measuring the glucose level in fresh capillary whole blood.

They are intended for use outside of the body (in vitro diagnostic use) at home

or in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor and control blood glucose levels. Do

not use them to diagnose diabetes. Also, do not alter treatment based on

the test results of this meter without instructions from your doctor or healthcare

professional.

1.2 Measurement Principle

Glucose in the blood reacts with the reagent in the test strip and this produces

a small electric current. The strength of this current is proportional to the

concentration of glucose in the blood. The meter measures this current and

calculates your glucose level.

2.2 What You Need for Each Test

Do not use this meter for your blood glucose testing if you are being tested

for galactose tolerance or xylose absorption. You may use this meter if you

are taking PAM (1-Methylpyridine-6-carbaldehyde oxime).

These treatments may produce higher test results than your actual

blood glucose level. Taking unnecessary measures to lower your blood

glucose level may induce severe low glucose symptoms such as coma.

Chapter 1 Introduction

 For accurate test results, allow the meter to adjust to the surroundings:

Temperature: 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F)

Humidity: 20 to 80% RH (Relative Humidity)

for 30 minutes before testing your blood glucose.

 Do not store or use the meter where:

• There are sharp temperature fluctuations.

• Humidity is high enough to cause condensation (bathrooms, drying

rooms, kitchen, etc.).

• There is a strong electromagnetic field (microwave oven, cell phone,

etc.).

 Do not use the meter after it has been dropped in liquid or liquids have

entered inside, even if dried afterwards.

 Keep hands away from the test strip slot on the meter. A thermo sensor is

housed inside the meter to minimize detection of errors.

 Do not connect the communication cable to the connection terminal

during testing. The meter may be damaged, leading to inaccurate test

results.

 Do not apply blood directly to the test strip slot on the meter.

 Do not share your meter with anyone to avoid the risk of infection.
