About the meter and test strips
• It is very important to carefully read and
follow the instructions in order to prevent
an incorrect result or improper treatment.
It is advisable to read all the pages before
using the meter. The detailed instructions
commence with “Inserting the Battery” on
page 17.
• The meter, test strips and control solutions are
only for use outside the body (in-vitro).
• Your new meter is designed for testing fresh
capillary whole blood samples (for example,
blood from your ngertip, palm, upper arm,
or forearm). Only use SD CodeFree™ test strips.
Other test strips will give inaccurate results.
• Do not use the SD CodeFree™ blood glucose
monitoring system for testing of serum or
plasma or arterial, venous whole blood.
• Inspect the container of test strips before using
them for the rst time. If you see any damage
to the container cap or if anything prevents
the cap from closing properly, do not use the
test strips. Contact the SD Biosensor Customer
Care Service Center. Damaged test strips can
cause inaccurate results, which could lead to
improper treatment.
