Blood Glucose Monitoring System
Self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is an important part of diabetes care, but
the high cost of testing can make it difficult. At ACON, our goal is to provide high
quality glucose monitoring systems at a price that allows you to test as often as
necessary. Together, we can better manage your diabetes and help you live a
longer and healthier life.
Welcome, and thank you for choosing the On Call
®
Express Blood Glucose
Monitoring System. The On Call
®
Express Blood Glucose Monitoring System will
give you accurate blood glucose results in just a few simple steps.
The On Call
®
Express Blood Glucose Monitoring System uses an electrochemical
enzymatic assay. It is for the quantitative detection of glucose in fresh capillary
whole blood. It allows people with diabetes to take blood samples from the fingertip,
forearm or palm. It is used at home as a way to monitor the effectiveness of
diabetes control programs. Alternative testing sites (forearm and palm) should be
used only during steady-state times (when blood glucose level is not changing
rapidly). The On Call
®
Express Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be
used by a single patient and should not be shared. Alternative Site Testing (AST)
should not be used to calibrate continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) nor for use in
insulin dose calculations. On Call
®
Express Blood Glucose Monitoring System is
for single patient use only. Do not share with others.
To ensure accurate results from your On Call
®
Express Blood Glucose Monitoring
System, please follow these guidelines:
Read instructions before use.
Use only On Call
®
Express Blood Glucose Test Strips with the On Call
®
Express
Blood Glucose Meter.
For in vitro diagnostic use only. Your blood glucose monitoring system is to be
used only outside the body. It’s for monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes
control. It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes.

If the meter is too cold, wait 30 minutes for it to reach room temperature before testing again. For a Power On self-check error, remove the battery for 30 seconds and reinsert it. If the problem persists or if there's an internal calibration check error, contact Customer Support at 1-800-838-9502. Also, ensure you repeat the test if the test strip was removed during the test, the sample was applied to the test strip too soon, the test strip is contaminated or used, there was an insufficient sample, or there was a sample application error due to late sample re-dosing. In the last four cases, repeat the test with a new test strip and enou...
