CHAPTER 1. UNDERSTANDING THE NEW ANALYZER
1. Indication for use; purpose of the analyzer
The SD LipidoCare Professional Analyzer is intended to be used by individuals in the
Professional to measure total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), HDL cholesterol (HDL), and
glucose in capillary whole blood with the SD LipidoCare Professional Lipid Profile Test Strips and
SD LipidoCare Professional Blood Glucose Test Strips; it is also intended to calculate low density
lipoprotein (LDL), the LDL/HDL ratio, and non-HDL. This analyzer is to be used outside the
body (in vitro diagnostic).
The SD LipidoCare Professional Lipid Profile Test Strips are intended to be used by medical
professionals to measure total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and HDL cholesterol (HDL) in
capillary whole blood and venous blood on an SD LipidoCare Professional Analyzer. Cholesterol
measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol
in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders. Lipoprotein measurements are used
in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis,
and various liver and renal diseases. Triglyceride measurements are used in the diagnosis and
treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver obstruction, other diseases
involving lipid metabolism, or various endocrine disorders. Calculated LDL-cholesterol values are
reported only when triglycerides are ≤400mg/dL; when triglycerides are >400 mg/dL, the
calculated LDL-cholesterol and LDL/HDL (LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol ratio) are not
reported.
The SD LipidoCare Professional Blood Glucose Test Strips are intended to be used by medical
professionals to measure glucose in capillary whole blood on an SD LipidoCare Professional
Analyzer. Glucose measurement is for the quantitative measurement of the concentration of
glucose in capillary whole blood that can be taken from the fingertip, palm, upper arm, and/or
forearm as an aid in the management of diabetes. Glucose measurement is not to be used for
the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes or neonatal use. Alternate site testing should be done
during steady-state times, when glucose is not changing rapidly.
The SD Lipid Control Solution and SD Glucose Control Solution are used as quality control
materials for the SD LipidoCare Professional System.

2. Test principle
LIPID
The SD LipidoCare Professional System combines enzymatic methodology and solid-phase
technology to measure total cholesterol (TC), HDL cholesterol (HDL), and triglycerides (TG).
Blood sample used for testing is whole blood from a fingerstick. The sample is applied to an SD
LipidoCare Professional Test Strip. The test strip is then placed into the SD LipidoCare
Professional Analyzer, where a unique system on the test strip separates the plasma from the
blood cells. A portion of the sample flows to the bottom layer of the test strip and is transferred
to the total cholesterol, triglyceride, and HDL cholesterol (HDL) reaction pads. The SD
LipidoCare Professional Analyzer measures TC, TG, and HDL by an enzymatic method based on
the method formulation of Allain et al.6 and Roeschlau.7 To measure TC, TG, and HDL in the
blood, the following formulations are used:
GLUCOSE
The SD LipidoCare Professional Blood Glucose test strip is designed with an electrode that
measures glucose levels. Glucose in the blood mixes with the reagent on the test strip and
causes a small electric current. The amount of current created depends on how much glucose
is in the blood. The SD LipidoCare Professional Analyzer measures the current created and
converts it to the amount of glucose. The blood glucose result is displayed on the LCD display.
Once a drop of blood touches the tip of the glucose test strip, the strip's reaction chamber
automatically draws the blood into the strip through capillary action. When the chamber is full,
the SD LipidoCare Professional Analyzer starts to measure the blood glucose level.
- 5 -
3. Before you start a test
CAUTION
Carefully read and follow the instructions and package inserts for the lipid/glucose test strips
and control solutions. It is very important to follow the instructions in order to prevent an
incorrect result or improper treatment.
Samples
For measuring lipid (cholesterol)
The SD LipidoCare Professional Analyzer for lipid testing is designed for testing a fresh capillary
whole blood sample from the fingertip.
For measuring glucose
The SD LipidoCare Professional Analyzer for glucose is designed for testing a fresh capillary
whole blood sample from the fingertip, palm, upper arm, or forearm.
Refer to the Safety Information
There is a potential risk of infection. To clean and disinfect this analyzer, please refer to the
Chapter 6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting section.
Operating conditions
To ensure proper function of the SD LipidoCare Analyzer, observe the following guidelines:

CHAPTER 3. COLLECTING BLOOD SAMPLES
CAUTION
• When collecting the capillary blood from the fingerstick, palm, forearm, or upper arm, there
is the possibility of a bloodborne pathogen transmission.
• Users should wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the meter, lancing
device, or test strips.
1. Getting a blood sample from fingersticks
1) Twist off the protective lancet cap.
2) Position the lancet and press it firmly against the puncture site.
3) Gently apply intermittent pressure to the puncture site to obtain sufficient blood.
CAUTION:
• A lancet should be used only once. Do not share used lancets with another person. To
prevent possible infection, a used lancet should not be touched by another person.
• Dispose of used lancets in a biohazardous waste container with lid.
- 29 -
2. Getting a blood sample from alternative sites
Important Information About AST
Sites other than fingertips may have fewer nerve endings, so obtaining a blood sample from
these sites may be less painful. The technique for alternative site testing is different from
fingertip testing. However, blood glucose results from sites other than your fingertip could be
significantly different, because blood glucose levels change rapidly after a meal, insulin, or
exercise. Consult with your healthcare provider prior to testing from a site other than your
fingertip. Rapidly changing results are likely to occur after eating. Insulin dosing and physical
activity are shown in the fingertip more quickly than in an alternative sites. The AST results
should never be used to calibrate CGMs or for insulin dose calculations.
AST Precautions
• AST testing should not be done within 2 hours of a meal, exercise, or medication.
• Results from AST testing should not be used to calibrate continuous glucose monitors
(CGMs).
• Results from AST testing should not be used for insulin dosing calculations.
• AST testing should not be done if your AST results do not match the way you feel.
• AST should only be done at times when the patient’s blood glucose is not rising or falling
rapidly.
Things to Know When using alternative sites
Please read the following before testing at alternative sites (palm, forearm, and upper arm).
The capillary whole blood of the fingertips reflects changes in glucose levels more rapidly than
in alternative sites. The test results from the fingertip testing and AST may differ, due to factors
such as lifestyle and ingested food, which affect glucose levels.
Use Alternative Site Testing only When
Use Fingertip Testing
•
Testing before a meal
• You are in a fasting state
• Two hours have passed since a meal
• Two hours have passed since insulin dosing
• Two hours have passed since physical activity
•
Within two hours after a meal
• Within two hours after insulin dosing
• Within two hours after physical activity
• If you have a history of hypoglycemia,
are experiencing low-blood glucose, or
suffer from hypoglycemic
unawareness (you cannot tell when
you have low blood glucose)
• During times of stress or illness
NOTE:
• Results from alternative site and fingertip samples may differ from each other, as there is a
time lag for the glucose levels to reach the same value. Use a fingertip sample if you suffer
from hypoglycemia or have experienced hypoglycemic shock or symptoms.
• If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact with hair or with lines on your
palm, do not use that sample. Try puncturing again in a smoother area.
- 30 -
Sampling for the AST Procedure
1) Select a soft, fleshy area on the palm, forearm, or upper arm free of visible veins, moles,
and hair and away from bone.
2) Press and vigorously rub the selected area for 10 seconds until it starts to feel warm to the
touch.
3) Wash the area with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. If you use alcohol wipes
to cleanse the site, make sure that the area is dry before lancing the site.
4) Twist off the protective lancing device cap.
5) Position the lancing device and press it firmly against the puncture site.
6) Lift the disposable lancing device straight up.
7) Touch and hold a drop of blood to the edge of the test strip until the yellow window is
completely filled with blood. The blood is drawn into the strip automatically.
8) The meter counts down from 5 to 1 second with beep sound.
9) The blood test result appears in just 5 seconds and is displayed in mg/dL.
10) Remove and discard the used test strip. The meter automatically shuts off in 5 seconds after
removing the test strip.
NOTE:
• Repeat the blood draw if the fluid is clear.
• It is recommended to use the lancing device with the clear end cap when testing
alternative sites. Please call 855-486-2888 to order an AST lancing kit containing the
lancing device, lancets, and the clear end cap.

Expected Value for lipid
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute issued the Third Report of the National C
holesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatm
ent of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (Adult Treatment Panel III) in May 2011. The A

Non-HDL
ATP III identifies non-HDL (total cholesterol minus HDL) as a secondary target of therapy in
persons with high triglycerides (≥200mg/dL). The goal for non-HDL in persons with high
serum triglycerides can be set at 30mg/dL higher than that for LDL cholesterol, on the
premise that a VLDL level ≤30mg/dL is normal.1 Non-HDL can be calculated using the
equation below. non-HDL (calculated) = Total Cholesterol - HDL
LDL
LDL can be calculated using the equation below. Calculated LDL is an estimation of LDL and
is valid only if the triglyceride level is 400mg/dL (4.55mmol/L) or below.3
LDL (calculated) = Total Cholesterol - HDL - (Triglycerides/5) (mg/dL)
LDL (calculated) = Total Cholesterol - HDL - (Triglycerides/2.17) (mmol/L)
- 38 -
TC/HDL Ratio
The ATP III report does not comment on the use of the ratio of total to HDL cholesterol.
Various authors have suggested that the TC/HDL ratio is the strongest lipid risk factor and
can be a useful summary of CHD risk.4, 5 A ratio of 4.5 or less is desirable. A ratio greater
than 6.0 suggests a high risk of CHD.4
Expected Value for Glucose
• Range of Expected Values
Self-testing may help to monitor your blood glucose levels. Consult with your physician to
determine the best range of expected blood glucose values for you.
• Expected blood glucose values for non-diabetic adults are as follows10:
Before eating <100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L)
One to two hours after meals <140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
Reference:
American Diabetes Association: Diabetes Care, 2015;38(Suppl. 1):S8-S16
Your glucose results
1) After 5 seconds from applying blood to the glucose strip, you should receive a test
result between 20–600mg/dL.
2) If your blood glucose result is above 600mg/dL, you will receive
HI
. If your blood
glucose result is below 10mg/dL, you will receive
Lo
. In these cases, repeat the test
with a new glucose test strip. If these messages appear again, please contact your
healthcare provider immediately.

• Discard test strip after using. Strips are to be used once. Never re-use a test strip.
• Do not ingest.
1. Test Strip for Lipid
1) Make sure the code chip number matches the number indicated on the lipid test strip
package. Never use a code chip from a different lot.
2) Out-of-date or expired strips cannot be used in your test system. Check the expiration
date on the package or pouch.
3) Add the blood sample to the lipid test strip at once. Do not add blood to the same strip.
Test again with a new test strip and fresh blood sample.
4) Not intended for screening or diagnosis, or for use on neonates.
5) Never make significant changes to your healthcare program or ignore physical symptoms
without consulting with your healthcare provider.
6) The following hematocrit range does not affect the test result of each parameter:
• TC, TG: 30–55%
• HDL: 30–52%
2. Test Strip for Glucose
1) The SD LipidoCare Professional System is not designed to be a substitute for pathology
laboratory equipment, and it should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes.
2) Extremes in hematocrit may affect test results. Hematocrit levels less than 20% may cause
falsely high readings. Hematocrit levels greater than 60% may cause falsely low readings.
3) Not intended for screening or diagnosis, or for use on neonates.
4) Never make significant changes to your diabetes control program or ignore physical
symptoms without consulting with your healthcare provider.
5) Severe dehydration (excessive water loss) may cause false low results. If you believe you
are suffering from dehydration, consult your healthcare professional right away.
