Chapter 1: Overview
is untextured area (22 mm wide by 12 mm high) provides a space in which to apply a facility-specic location label. At the
bottom is the data port for connecting the meter to a data upload cable or docking station (Chapter 10 provides information on
uploading data to a data management system).
Each FreeStyle Precision Pro meter is shipped with this Operator’s Manual and two AA batteries.
Test Strips
FreeStyle Precision Pro and Precision Xceed Pro Test Strips oer the latest advancements in biosensor technology. e test strips
work by rst inserting the contact bars into the meter. en the sample is applied to the target area, covering both the working
electrode and the reference electrode. is area is coated with active ingredients that react in the presence of glucose or ketone
to make a small electric current. is current is passed through the strip to the contact bars and the meter, which calculates a
glucose or ketone result.
FreeStyle Precision Pro and Precision Xceed Pro Blood Glucose Test Strips use proprietary glucose-specic chemistry that
includes the glucose dehydrogenase enzyme, NAD cofactor and PQ mediator (GDH-NAD). is chemistry is used for testing
glucose because it is not aected by maltose, icodextrin, and other common substances at elevated levels. It also ensures minimal
measurement bias from oxygen and haematocrit.
IMPORTANT: Avoid getting dust, dirt, blood, control solution, water or any other substance in
the meter’s test strip port.
