samples mixes with the reagent (special chemicals) of the test strip. The electrical

current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample. The Medicare System-

LiS meter measures the strength of the electrical current, calculates your blood glucose

level and then displays your result in either milligrams of glucose per deciliter (mg/dL) or

millimoles of glucose per liter (mmol/L).

Caution

1. The user should not take any decision of medical relevance without first consulting

his or her medical practitioner.

2. Call your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms that are not consistent with

your blood glucose test results.

3. High altitudes above than 3,402 meter (11,161 ft) may affect the test results.

4. Temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F) may affect the test

results. Do not test beyond of temperature range.

IMPORTANT HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION

1. Apply only capillary whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. Applying other

substances or plasma, serum will cause wrong results.

2. Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. If

you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult your healthcare

professional immediately.

3. Test results below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L)*1 indicates low blood glucose

(hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L)*2 indicates high

blood glucose (hyperglycemia).If your results are below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or

above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), repeat the test, and if the results are still below

60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), consult your healthcare

professional immediately.

parameters.

2. Your meter displays 7, 14 and 28-day averages which you can access from the meter 

memory. These averages are calculated from your latest result obtained during the last 7, 

14 and 28 days. 

3. Your meter can display test result in milligram per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter 

(mmol/L). The mg/dL unit is standard in the United States. The mmol/L unit is standard 

in Canada and European countries. Your meter has been preset at the factory with the 

standard unit measurement used where you live. When you turn off the meter or replace 

the battery, the unit will not be changed. 

4. Use of the wrong unit of measure may cause you to misinterpret your blood glucose 

level, and may lead to incorrect treatment. Please always consult with your healthcare 

professionals before you reset the unit of measure.

Control Solution Testing

If your Medicare control solution did not come with an Medicare control solution

Instruction, the following information shall take the place of the instruction.

Medicare control solutions contain a pre-set amount of glucose that reacts with

OKmeter test strips. By testing your 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.

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. Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.

2. When your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel, or

when you think your results are not accurate.

3. When test strips are exposed to extreme environmental conditions.

4. If you drop the meter.

5. After changing the battery.

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 ºF/20-25ºC) before testing.

3. Shake the bottle before use, discard the first drop of control solution after

squeezing, wipes 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 (normal and high) available to purchase.

Please contact with your local distributor when required.

2. The control solution range printed on the test strip vial is for Medicare 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

5. Disodium EDTA

2. Polyvinyl acetate (aqueous emulsion)

6. Food Pigment Red No.6

3. Fumed silica

7. Antifoaming agent

4. Sodium Benzoate

(Polyethylene Glycol 4000)

4. Was the test strip used before the expiration date?

5. Were the test strips stored away from extreme temperatures in very cold or

hot weather or from areas of high humidity?

Then run a control test with Medicare control solution. If the control test result

is within the acceptable range, review testing procedure and repeat your blood

glucose test with a new test strip. If your blood glucose value is still inconsistent

with your previous results, glucose trend, or how you feel, contact your doctor

immediately for help.
