Important Information

Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings which are lower than actual values. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual and you do not have any symptoms of illness, first repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue to get results which are higher or lower than usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
Use only capillary whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. Using other substances will give incorrect results.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your blood glucose test results and you have followed all instructions described in this owner's manual, contact your healthcare professional.
We do not recommend using this product on severely hypotensive individuals or patients in shock. Please consult your healthcare professional before use.
The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of blood or plasma glucose can either have a weight dimension (mg/dL) or a molarity (mmol/L). The approximate calculation rule for conversion of mg/dL in mmol/L is:

mg/dL mmol/L

Divided by 18 Times 18

= mmol/L = mg/dL

For example: 1) 120 mg/dL � 18 = 6.6 mmol/L 2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.
Your GlucoRx Nexus meter is preset to display results in mmol/L only.
7

Intended Use
Your system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by healthcare professionals in clinical settings as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples (from the finger, palm, forearm and upper arm), and from venous whole blood. It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or testing on newborns. Professionals may test with capillary and venous whole blood; home use is limited to capillary whole blood testing.
Test Principle
Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole blood. The glucose testing is based on the measurement of electrical current generated by the reaction of glucose with the reagent in the strip. Your meter measures the current, calculates the blood glucose level then displays the result. The strength of the current produced by the reaction depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.

2. Press to switch between General, AC, PC, Exercise and QC; or Press to go straight to QC mode.

BEFORE TESTING
Control Solution Testing
TaiDoc Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with your test strips and is used to ensure your meter and strips are working together correctly.
Do a control solution test when: you first receive your meter, at least once a week to routinely check your meter and test strips, you begin using a new vial of test strips, you suspect your meter or test strips are not working properly, your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel or if you think the results are not accurate, practicing the testing process, or you have dropped or think you may have damaged your meter.
Performing a Control Solution Test
1. Insert a Test Strip to Turn on your Meter Insert a test strip into your meter. Wait for the meter to display the test strip and blood drop symbols.
17

2. Press to mark this test as a control solution test. With "QC" displayed, the meter will store your test result in memory under "QC". If you press again, the "QC" will disappear and this test is no longer a control solution test.
WARNING When doing a control solution test, you have to mark it so that the test result will NOT mix with the blood glucose TEST RESULTS stored in the memory. Failure to do so will mix up the blood glucose test results with the control solution test results in memory.
3. Apply Control Solution. Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before use. Squeeze out a drop and wipe it off, then squeeze another drop and place it on the tip of the vial cap. Hold the meter to move the absorbent hole of test strip to touch the drop. Once the confirmation window fills completely, your meter will begin counting down. To avoid contaminating the control solution, do not directly apply control solution onto a strip.
18

4. Read and Compare the Result
After counting down to 0, the test result of control solution will appear on your display. Compare this result with the range printed on your test strip vial and it should fall within this range. If not, please read the instructions again and repeat control solution test.

Example
6.5~8.8

NOTE Example results range only! Please read the exact range from your test strip vial.

Out-of-range results If you continue to have test results fall outside the range printed on your test strip vial, the meter and strips may not be working together properly. Do NOT test your blood. Contact GlucoRx Customer care on 01483 755133 for help.
NOTE The control solution range printed on your test strip vial is for control solution use only. It is not a recommended range for your blood glucose level. See the Maintenance section for important information about your control solution.
19

TESTING WITH BLOOD SAMPLE
NOTE To reduce the chance of infection: Never share a lancet or the lancing device. GlucoRx Lancing
device is for self-use only. Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only. Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets
and the lancing device.
Preparing your Lancing Device for Blood Glucose Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for collecting a blood sample.
Preparing the Puncture Site
Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site before blood extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value obtained.
Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a measurably different glucose concentration than blood from the finger. When the puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference was significantly reduced.
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of blood:
* Select your puncture site either at fingertips or another body part (please see section "Alternative Site Testing" (AST) on how to select other appropriate sites).
* Hand wash the puncture site with warm water and dry thoroughly before testing.
* Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
* Use a clear cap (included in kit) while setting up your lancing device.
20

Fingertip testing
Press the lancing device's tip firmly against the side of your fingertip. Press the release button to prick your finger. A click indicates that the puncture is complete.

Blood from sites other than the fingertip

Replace your lancing device cap with 1
the clear cap for alternative site

testing. Pull the cocking control back

until it clicks. When lancing the

forearm, upper arm or hand, avoid

lancing the areas with obvious veins

to avoid excess bleeding.

NOTE
Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures at the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
Please consult your healthcare professional before you begin AST.
It is recommended that you discard* the first drop of blood as it may contain tissue fluid which may affect your test result. * WHO Guidelines on drawing blood: best practices in phlebotomy, 2010 Section 7.2.2.

Performing a Blood Glucose Test

1. Insert a Test Strip to Turn on your Meter

Wait for your meter to display the

test strip

and blood drop

symbols.

2. Select the appropriate measuring mode by pressing . For selecting the measuring mode, please refer to the " FIVE MEASURING MODES" section.
3. Obtain a Blood Sample Use your pre-set lancing device to puncture the desired site. After penetration, discard the first drop of blood with a clean cotton swab. Gently squeeze the punctured area to obtain another drop of blood. Be careful NOT to smear the blood sample.
The volume of blood sample must be at least 0.5 microlitre (L) of volume. ( actual size).
4. Apply the Sample Position the blood drop to touch the absorbent hole of your test strip. Blood will be drawn in and after the confirmation window is completely filled, the meter should begin counting down.
22

NOTE Do not press the puncture site against your test strip or try to smear the blood. If you do not apply a blood sample to the test strip within 3 minutes, your meter will automatically turn off. You must remove and reinsert the test strip to start a new test. The confirmation window should be filled with blood before your meter begins to count down. If there is insufficient blood volume in the test strip confirmation window, you can apply more blood to the same strip as long as you see the blinking blood drop symbol displayed on the meter screen (before countdown begins). The meter will give an `E-F' error message within a few seconds if there is still underfill, in which case discard the used test strip and retest with a new one. If you have trouble filling the confirmation window, please contact your healthcare professional or GlucoRx Customer care on 01483 755133 for assistance.
5.Read the Result The result of your blood glucose test will appear after the meter counts to 0. This reading will automatically be stored in the memory.
23

6.Eject the Used Test Strip and Remove the Lancet To eject your test strip, point the strip at a sharps disposal container. Your meter will turn itself off automatically after the test strip is ejected. Always follow the instructions in the lancing device insert when removing the lancet.
WARNING The used lancet and test strip may be biohazardous. Please discard them carefully according to your local regulations.
24

About Alternative Site Testing (AST)
Important: There are limitations with doing AST. 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 allows you to test on the palm, forearm and the upper arm with 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 are not so condensed, you will not feel as much pain as at the fingertip.
When to use AST? Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affect blood glucose levels. Capillary blood at the 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 events, take blood sample from your finger only.
We strongly recommend you do AST ONLY at the following intervals:
In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since your 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 unaware you have hypoglycaemia. Your AST results do not match the way you feel. You are testing for hyperglycaemia. Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.
25
