Introduction
The Nova Max Plus Glucose and ß-Ketone Monitor
The monitor is a hand-held testing device that measures glucose
(sugar) in capillary whole blood and ß-ketone in capillary whole
blood. The test strip is touched to a drop of blood to initiate the
test process. The monitor activates after a Nova Max Plus test strip
is inserted. The screen displays “Glu” or“Ket,” depending on which
type of Nova Max Strip is inserted. The blue strip measures blood
glucose levels, and the green strip measures ß-ketone levels.

CAUTION: The monitor should be handled with care. Dropping, rough
handling, etc. may damage the monitor. If the monitor is not to be used
for an extended period of time, remove the battery to eliminate the risk
of battery leakage. Also, protect the monitor from moisture, prolonged
direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures.
Overview
To perform a test, the operator simply inserts a test strip; waits for
the blood drop symbol to appear on the screen (“Glu” or “Ket” also
appears - the meter is ready); brings the test strip to the drop of
blood; and obtains a test result in 5 (Glu) or 10 (Ket) seconds. The test
result is automatically stored into the monitor’s memory. The opera-
tor can recall and review test data stored in the monitor.
