Chapter 1: Overview
FreeStyle Precision Pro Blood β-Ketone Test Strips and Precision Xceed Pro Blood β-Ketone
Test Strips are also available for use with the FreeStyle Precision Pro system. ese test strips
have chemistry to specically measure β-hydroxybutyrate, the primary ketone produced
when a patient is developing ketoacidosis.
Both glucose and ketone test strips also have exclusive blood application features to ensure
reliable sampling. First, the target area may be lled by applying a drop of sample to the top
of the test strip or by touching the end of the test strip to the sample. Second, the ll trigger
electrode ensures that the test will only start once sucient blood has been applied. Together,
these features minimise the possibility of errant results due to sample application technique.
IMPORTANT: Do not apply blood to the test strip when the test strip is out of the meter.
Do not use wet, bent, scratched or damaged test strips.
Each test strip is protected by a foil packet bearing an individual barcode label. e foil packet maintains the integrity of each
test strip by protecting it from exposure to air and moisture and accidental contamination. e barcode label holds information
about the test strip including the lot number, calibration, expiry date, and expected control solution ranges. One quick scan
provides the meter with all this information at the time of the test.
IMPORTANT: Do not scan a packet’s barcode and use a test strip from another packet. Use the test
strip immediately after opening its foil packet. Do not use the test strip if the foil packet
has a puncture or tear in it. Failure to follow instructions can cause incorrect results to
be generated.
