1. Intended use
Your GlucoMen® areo 2K meter, GlucoMen® areo Sensor, and GlucoMen®
areo β-Ketone Sensor are in vitro diagnostic medical devices to
quantitatively measure glucose and β-ketone levels in fresh capillary whole
blood. They are intended for self testing to monitor and control blood
glucose and β-ketone levels by people with diabetes mellitus; they can
also be used in a clinical setting by healthcare professionals. They are not
intended for diagnosis or screening of diabetes and DKA or for neonatal
use. Do not alter your treatment on the basis of test results of this meter
without previously consulting your doctor or healthcare professional.
