  Important Information Severe dehydration resulting from excessive water loss may cause false low results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.  Test results below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) mean low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 200 mg/dL (11 mmol/L) mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you get results below 70 mg/dL or above 200 mg/dL, and do not have symptoms, repeat the test once. If you have symptoms or continue to get results that fall below 70 mg/dL or above 200 mg/dL, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.  If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose test results AND you have followed all the instructions described in the LifeWatch V User Manual, call your healthcare professional.  A red blood cell count (hematocrit) that is either very high (above 55%) or very low (below 30%) can cause false results.  Glucose Test Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause(s) Solution Blood glucose results are inconsistent. 1. Not enough blood is placed on the Test Strip. 2. Test Strips have passed their expiration date. 3. Deteriorated Test Strip caused by heat or humidity. 4. Device, and/or Test Strip were not at room temperature when used. 1. Rerun test with a new Test Strip and apply a sufficient blood to fill the Test Strip tip.  2. Obtain new Test Strips have not yet exceeded their expiration date. 3. Run a Control Solution Test using a new Test Strip. If the results are still out of range, replace the Test Strip package. See package for proper storage instructions. 4. Allow time for the Device, Control Solution and/or Test Strips to come to room temperature before use.    48
Alternative Site Testing (AST)  Important: There are limitations for doing AST.  Do Not Use AST for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) calibration and insulin dose calculations. Please consult your healthcare professional before you do AST. What is AST?  Alternative site testing (AST) means that people use parts of the body other than fingertips to check their blood glucose levels.  This system provides the capability of testing also on the palm, forearm and  upper arm, with the equivalent results to fingertip testing.  What’s the advantage?  Fingertips feel pain more readily because they are full of nerve endings (receptors). At other body sites, since nerve endings were not so condensed, you will not feel as much pain as at the fingertip.  When to use AST?  Note: Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affect blood glucose levels.  Capillary blood at fingertip reflects these changes faster than capillary blood at other sites. Therefore when testing blood glucose during or immediately after meal, physical exercise, or any other event, take blood samples from your finger only.   49
We strongly recommend that you perform AST ONLY in the following intervals:  ♦ In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).  ♦ Two hours or more after taking insulin.  ♦ Two hours or more after exercise.  Do NOT use AST if:  ♦ You think your blood glucose is low.  ♦ You are unawareness of hypoglycemia.  ♦ Your AST results do not match the way you feel.  ♦ You are testing for hyperglycemia.  ♦ Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.  How to increase the accuracy? Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site prior to blood extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value obtained. Blood from the site without rubbing exhibits a measurably different glucose concentration than blood from the finger. When the puncture site was rubbed (20 seconds) prior to blood extraction, the difference was significantly reduced.   50
Control Solution Test Why Use the Control Solution? Ensure that your LifeWatch V and LifeWatch V Test Strips are working together properly. Practice testing without having to use your own blood. Perform Control solution tests when: ♦ First receive your LifeWatch V. ♦ You feel your LifeWatch V or test strips are not working properly. ♦ You feel your test results are not accurate. ♦ After dropping or damaging your LifeWatch V. ♦ Your healthcare professional advises you perform the test.  Avoid exposing the LifeWatch V Blood Glucose Monitoring System to liquids.

Heart Rate Calculation Method Introduction This section describes the heart rate (HR) calculation within the LifeWatch V. HR is defined as the number of heart beats during a GIVEN TIME INTERVAL (usually one minute).  Method of Calculation The momentary HR is the inverse of the time lasting between two consecutive heart beats. As the momentary HR fluctuates due to inaccuracies, timing eight momentary HR values are averaged to generate the displayed HR. Therefore the reported HR is the mean of the last momentary HR values WHICH CORRESPOND TO THE DETECTED R COMPLEXES FOR THE LAST 8 SECONDS. OCCASIONS IN WHICH THE HR IS NOT REPORTED: If during a specific QRS complex the signal is considered as too low to be considered accurate or is considered as noise, the displayed HR will be 0. 71

Normal Use Position  When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone to your ear, with the bottom towards your mouth.  Air Bags  Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area as an airbag inflates with great force and serious injury could result.  Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.  Seizures/Blackouts  The phone can produce a bright or flashing light. A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, please consult a physician.  Repetitive Strain Injuries  To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when texting or playing games with your device:  96
♦ Do not grip the device too tightly.  ♦ Press the buttons lightly.  ♦ Use the special features which are designed to minimize the times of pressing buttons, such as Message Templates and Predictive Text.  ♦ Take occasional breaks to stretch and relax.  Emergency Calls  This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection under all conditions; therefore, you must never rely solely on any wireless phone for emergency communications.  Loud Noise  This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may damage your hearing. Turn down the volume before using headphones, Bluetooth stereo headsets or other audio devices.  Phone Heating  Your phone may become warm during charging and during normal use.  Electrical Safety (Precautions) Accessories  Use only approved accessories. Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories. Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to contact or short-circuit in the battery terminals.  Connection to a Car  Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface to the vehicle electrical system.  Faulty and Damaged Products  Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessories.  Only qualified personnel are allowed to service or repair the device or its accessories. If your device or its accessories were submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, then do not use the device or its accessories until they have been checked at an authorized service center.  97
General Statement on Interference  The precautions listed below must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.  Pacemakers  Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.  Hearing Aids  People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.  The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the source of interference, increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.  Use of LifeWatch V with other Medical Devices  Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if the operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.  Hospitals  Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.  Aircraft  Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.  Interference in Cars  Please note that because of possible interference with electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.   98
Explosive Environments (Precautions) Petrol Stations and Explosive Atmospheres  In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs instructing to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment.  Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.  Blasting Caps and Areas  Power off your mobile phone when in a blasting area or in areas posted power off “two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.  99
