Intended Use
Use outside the body only (in vitro diagnostic use) for self testing or professional use in the
management of diabetes.
Use for measuring blood glucose from samples taken from the forearm, upper arm, base of the
thumb, or ngers.
•Test blood glucose in fresh whole blood samples
•Test blood β-Ketone (β-hydroxybutyrate) in fresh whole blood samples from ngers only
IMPORTANT: Use only FreeStyle Optium blood glucose test strips
and FreeStyle Optium blood β-Ketone test strips. Other test strips
may produce inaccurate results.
IMPORTANT: See test strip instructions for use for more information about sample
types.
Potential infection risk: Healthcare professionals performing blood tests with this
system on multiple patients must always wear gloves and should follow the infection
control policies and procedures approved by their facility.
Read the instructions in this user’s manual. Failure to follow instructions will cause
incorrect results. Practise the testing procedures before using the meter. Follow
your healthcare professional’s advice when testing blood glucose levels and blood
β-Ketone levels.
Observe caution when using around children. Small parts may constitute a choking
hazard.
How Your FreeStyle Optium Blood Glucose Monitoring System Works
When you insert a test strip into your meter, the Apply Sample message shows on your meter’s display
window. When a blood sample or control solution sample is applied to the test strip, the glucose or
β-Ketone reacts with the chemicals on the test strip. This reaction produces a small electrical current
that is measured. The result shows on your meter’s display window.
IMPORTANT: Avoid getting dust, dirt, blood, control solution, water or
any other substance in the meter’s test strip port.
