Intended Use
What it is:
The CLEVER CHEK TD-3250 system is a 2 in 1 system designed to measure
blood glucose outside of human body and to measure blood pressure
non-invasively. The system performs only one function at a time to avoid any
interference problems. The system consists of the CLEVER CHEK TD-3250
monitor, test strips, and check & code strip. The system also comes with
control solutions for quality control.
How it works:
Blood glucose is tested using an Amperometric Biosensor. Capillary action at
the absorbent hole of the test strip draws a small amount of blood into the
reaction chamber, and then the reading is displayed after 10 seconds.
Blood pressure is measured non-invasively at the upper arm based on the
oscillometric method.

Health Information
Blood Glucose
Blood glucose monitoring plays an important role in diabetes control. A
long-term study shows that keeping blood glucose levels close to normal can
reduce the risk of diabetes complications by up to 60 %.*
The results you get with the CLEVER CHEK TD-3250 can help you and your
healthcare professional monitor and adjust your treatment plan to gain better
control of your diabetes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA)
recommends that you keep your blood sugar levels at:
Time of day ADA recommendation
Before
meals
80-120 mg/dL / 4.5-6.7
mmol/L
1-2 hours
after meals
Less than 180 mg/dL /
10 mmol/L
Bedtime 100-140 mg/dL /
5.6-7.8 mmol/L

BEFORE YOU START
Blood Pressure
Clinical studies show that the adult diabetes is often accompanied by elevated
blood pressure. People with diabetes can reduce their heart risk by managing
their blood pressure along with diabetes treatment*.
Knowing your routine blood pressure trend tells whether your body is in good
condition or not. Human blood pressure naturally increases after reaching
middle age. This symptom is a result of continuous aging of the blood vessel.
Further causes include obesity, lack of exercise, and cholesterol (LDL)
adhering to the blood vessels. Rising of blood pressure accelerates hardening
of the arteries, and the body becomes more susceptible to apoplexy and
coronary infarction. The WHO (world health organization) published the
guideline of blood pressure range:

HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD GLUCOSE
Important Information and Possible Interferences
Important Information:
Test results below 3.3mmol/L (60mg/dL) indicate hypoglycemia, which
means abnormally low glucose level. If higher than 13.3mmol/L (240 mg/dL),
symptoms of hyperglycemia might occur. Consult your physician when a
result above occurs.
If you have symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose or
pressure level AND you have followed all instructions described in the user’s
manual, contact your healthcare professional.
Possible interferences:
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results.
A red blood cell percentage (hematocrit) that is extremely high (above 60%)
or low (less than 20%) may cause false results.
Elevated blood triglyceride, reducing substances such as uric acid and
ascorbic acid at normal blood concentration, or acetaminophen, dopa,
methyldopa, L-dopa, and tolbutamide at normal blood concentrations do not
significantly affect the test results.
21
HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD GLUCOSE
Coding the Monitor
You must code the monitor every time you begin to use a new vial of test strips.
Test results may be inaccurate if the code number displayed on the monitor
does not match the number printed on the strip vial.
Step 1- Insert the check & code strip
when the monitor is off. Wait until the
code number appears on the LCD
display. (Fig 8)
Make sure the code number on LCD
display, on check & code strip, and
on strip vial are the same.
Step 2- Remove the check & code strip, the LCD display will
show “OK”. This tells you that the monitor has finished coding
and is ready for blood glucose testing.
22
(Fig. 8)
HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD GLUCOSE
Checking the Code
When you start measuring blood glucose, check the code number first.
Step1- With the monitor off, insert a test strip into the Test Slot. Make sure you
insert the end with the contact bars first and facing up. Contact bars must be
inserted all the way into the monitor for an accurate result. (Fig. 9)
Step2- The monitor will display “CHK” and the strip
symbol. (Fig. 10) In about 1 second, the ambient
temperature will be shown (Fig. 11).
Step3- Then the code number and flashing blood drop
appears. Check if the number shown on the monitor
matches the number on the test strip vial. (Fig. 12) If it
matches, you can proceed with your test.
If it does not match, please code the monitor as described in previous page.

(Fig. 10) (Fig. 11)
(Fig.12)
(Fig. 9)
HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD GLUCOSE
Testing with Control Solution
What is a control solution test?
The control solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with test
strips. Compare your control solution test results with the expected range
printed on the test strip vial label. This enables you to check if the monitor and
the test strips are working together properly, and that you are performing the
test correctly.
Therefore, before testing your blood glucose for the first time, practice the
procedure using control solution. When you can do three tests in a row that are
within the expected range, you are ready to test your blood sugar.
Please note that the control solution range printed on the test strip vial is for
TaiDoc Control Solution only. It is used to test the monitor and test strip
performance. It is not a recommended range for your blood glucose level.
When should I do a control solution test?
When you begin using a new vial of test strips.
If you drop the monitor.
When your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel, or
when you think your results are not accurate.
Important usage information
Use only TaiDoc Control Solution to check system performance.
Tightly close the control solution and store below 30oC (86oF).
Control solution, monitor, and test strips should be at room temperature
(20-25 oC /68-77 oF) before testing.
Use a period of 30 days from the date that you first open it.
Also check the expiration date on the control solution vial.
Do not use if expired.
Do not directly apply solution to the test strip. Place a drop
of control solution on a clean surface or on your fingertip
instead to avoid contamination.
24
HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD GLUCOSE
How to do a control solution test?
Step 1- Insert a test strip and check if the code number shown on LCD display
is the same as the code on the strip bottle.
Step 2- Press the M Button. The symbol "CtL" will appear on the display.
When you do this, control solution readings will not be stored in the memory.
Step 3- Get a drop of control solution:
1. Shake the control solution vial well.
2. Remove the cap. Squeeze the vial and
discard the first drop with a clean tissue to
ensure an accurate result.
3. Squeeze the vial again to get a hanging
drop and place the drop on your fingertip.
(Fig.13)
Step 4- Apply the drop to the absorbent hole of the test strip
until the drop is drawn into the test strip, and the confirmation
window is filled. (Fig. 14)
Step 5- The monitor will begin countdown. After 10 seconds, the control
solution test result will appear. The result should fall within the range printed
on the test strip vial.
25
(Fig. 13)
(Fig. 14)
What to do if out-of-range results appear?
If test results fall outside the range printed on the test strip vial, repeat the test.
Out-of-range results may be caused by one or more of the following:
Error in performing the test.
Not shaking the control solution vial vigorously.
Control solution too warm or too cold.
Expired or contaminated control solution.
Improper coding of the monitor.
Test strip deterioration.
Monitor malfunction.
If you continue to get out-of-range results, the system may not be working
properly. Do not use the monitor to test your blood glucose in this condition.
Please contact your local customer service for help.

glucose test.
Step 7- Discard the lancet.
Always use caution when removing the lancet.
Remove the cap of lancing device.
Place the protective disk on a hard surface and push the
exposed tip into the protective disk.
Take it out carefully and place it into a container for sharp
objects.
WARNING!
1. To reduce the chance of infection:
Never share a lancet with anyone.
Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
Avoid getting lotion, oil, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets and the sampler.
2. Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated puncture in the same
spot may cause soreness and calluses.
28
(Fig. 19)
(Fig. 21)
(Fig. 22)
(Fig. 23)
Taking a Reading
Step 1- Insert a test strip and check if the code number shown on LCD display
is the same as the code on the strip vial. If not, please refer to “Coding the
monitor”.
Step 2- Obtain a drop of blood as described in “Getting a Drop
of Blood”.
Step 3- When the “ “ symbol is flashing on the LCD display,
apply the drop of blood to the absorbent hole of the test strip.
(Fig. 21) Do not push your finger against the test strip or try to
apply a smeared sample.
Step 4- Make sure the blood sample completely
cover the confirmation window before moving
your finger away from the strip. (Fig 22) If the
confirmation window is not filled completely, do
not add more blood to the test strip. Discard the
test strip and retest.
Step 5- Read result after 10 seconds. (Fig 23) The test result
will be automatically stored in the monitor memory. Turn the
monitor off by removing the test strip.
29
HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD GLUCOSE
Ketone Warning:
When your test reading is ≧240 mg/dL(13.3 mmol/dL), “KETONE" will appear
on the LCD display.
Ketone is a byproduct produced as the body burns fat for energy when there
isn't enough insulin present for the metabolism of glucose. Ketone
accumulation in the blood may lead to a dangerous condition known as
diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
High blood glucose is a symptom of insufficient insulin for people with type 1
diabetes. If you are type 1 diabetes, please beware of high ketone when your
blood glucose is too high.
When "KETONE" appears, please test again. If continually appears, please
consult your physician.
CAUTION!
1. If you do not apply blood sample within 3 minutes, or if you accidentally turn
off the monitor by pressing the button, the monitor will alert you with flashing
test strip symbol and continuous beeping. You will need to turn the monitor off
by removing the test strip.
2. To start a blood pressure test after performing a blood glucose test, make
sure that the test strip is removed from the monitor. Then turn the monitor off
and refer to "MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE".
30
Comparing With Laboratory Results
Results obtained from your monitor may differ somewhat from your laboratory
result due to normal variation. Monitor results can be affected by factors and
conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way.
Blood glucose levels can change significantly over short periods, especially if
you have recently exercised, eaten, taken medication, or experienced stress.
The glucose level of blood from fingertip would be higher than blood from a
vein (venous sample) used in lab tests if you have eaten recently. The
difference can be as high as 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). Therefore, it is best to
fast for eight hours before doing comparison tests.
Before you go to the lab:
Perform a control solution test to make sure that the monitor is working
properly.
It is best to fast for eight hours before comparison test. Take your monitor
with you to the lab.
While at the lab:
Make sure that the samples for both tests (the monitor test and the lab test)
are taken and tested within 15 minutes of each other.
Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample.
For the monitor test, use fresh blood from the fingertip only.
Never use your monitor with blood that has been collected in a gray-cap test
tube.
Factors such as irregular amount of red blood cells in the blood (a high or low
hematocrit) or loss of body fluid (severe dehydration) may also cause
differences between the monitor result and the laboratory result.

HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE
Suggestions before Measuring
Avoid caffeine, tea, alcohol, and cigarette at least 30 minutes before
measurement.
Wait 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before measurement.
Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.
Take a 5-10 minute break between measurements. This break can be
longer if necessary, depending on your physical conditions
Keep the records for your physician as reference.
Blood pressure varies from two hands naturally. Always measure your
blood pressure on the same arm.
33
HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE
Applying the Pressure Cuff
Step 1- Connect the air plug of the tubing to the air jack at the
side of the monitor. (Fig.24)
Step 2- Assemble the cuff as Figure 25. The
smooth cloth is on the inside of the cuff loop and
the metal D-ring will not touch your skin.
Step 3- Hold your left arm in front of you with your
palm facing up. Slide the cuff onto your left arm,
above your elbow. The red line on the edge of the
cuff should be approximately 0.8 to 1.2 inch (2 cm
to 3 cm) above your elbow. Align the tubing over
the main arteries at the inside of your arm. (Fig. 26)
Step 4- When the cuff is positioned correctly, pull the end of the cuff to tighten
the cuff snugly around your upper arm. You should be able to fit your index
finger between the cuff and your arm.
Step 5- Press the hook material firmly against the pile material. The top and
bottom edges of the cuff should be tightened evenly around your upper arm.
34
(Fig. 24)
(Fig. 25)
(Fig. 26)
HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE
Proper Measurement Position
Please sit and take a rest at least 10 minutes before measuring.
Step1- Place your elbow on a table or other
object. Relax your hand with the palm facing
up. (Fig 27)
Step2- Relax and make sure the cuff is at the
same height as your heart. Press the
button. Remain still and do not talk or move
during the measurement.
(Fig. 27)
WARINING!
It is extremely important that the cuff is at the same level of the heart. If the cuff
is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the blood pressure measured will be
higher (lower) than the actual value. A 15cm difference in height may result
in an error of 10 mmHg
35
HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE
Taking a Reading
Read "Suggestions before Measuring" and "Applying the Pressure Cuff"
before taking a reading. Always apply the pressure cuff before turning on the
device.
Step 1- Press the button. All the LCD display symbols will
appear with a long “beep” sound (Fig. 28). Then cuff begins to
inflate automatically.
Step 2- After the cuff pressure is reached, the cuff begins to
deflate. When detecting pulse, the Pulse Symbol “ ” will flash,
along with a beeping sound during measurement. (Fig. 29)
Note: If a higher pressure value is needed, the monitor will stop
deflation and inflate again.
Step 3- After the measurement, the monitor displays the systolic
pressure, diastolic pressure, and heart rate. (Fig. 30)
Step 4- Press button to switch off. Or it will switch off
