Introduction of the System

• Intended Use

The system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use
only). It should be used only for testing glucose (sugar) and only with fresh
capillary whole blood samples (from the fingertip, the palm, the forearm, the
upper arm, the calf and the thigh). The system is intended for use in the
home and in clinical settings. It should not be used for the diagnosis of dia-
betes or for the testing of newborns.
Alternative Site Testing (AST) in this system can be used only during steady-
state blood glucose conditions described in the "About AST" section.

• Principle of Measurement

The test is based on the measurement of electrical current generated by the
reaction of glucose with the reagent of the strip. The meter measures electric
current and displays the corresponding blood glucose level. The strength
of the electric current produced by the reaction depends on the amount
of glucose in the blood sample.
