GlucoMen

Day METER Blood Glucose Monitoring System is used
for the quantitative measurement of the glucose level in capillary
whole blood as an aid in monitoring diabetes management effecti

vely at home or in clinical settings. Fresh venous whole blood drawn
by healthcare professionals can also be used. This Blood Glucose
Monitoring System should be used only for self-testing outside the
body (in vitro diagnostic use only). This Blood Glucose Monitoring
System should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes. Testing si-
tes include the traditional fingertip testing along with alternate site
testing on forearm and palm.
Glucose in blood samples reacts with the reagents in the test strip
to produce a small electrical current. The GlucoMen

Glucose meter detects this electrical current and measures the
amount of glucose in the blood sample.

An abnormally high or low red blood cell count (haematocrit level
over 65 % or below 15 %) may produce inaccurate results.
•
Inaccurate blood glucose results may occur in severely hypotensi-
ve individuals or patients in shock. Inaccurate low blood glucose re-
sults may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycemic- hype-
rosmolar state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients should
not be tested with blood glucose meters.
