Introduction What it is: The Ascensia ELITE™ Diabetes Care System is a blood glucose monitoring system. The system is made up of the Ascensia ELITE™ Meter, Test Strip, and Code Strip. For quality control of the system, the Ascensia ELITE™ Check Strip and Normal, Low and High Controls are also available. How it works: The Ascensia ELITE blood glucose testing process is based on an electrode sensor technology. Capillary action at the end of the Test Strip draws a small amount of blood into the reaction chamber and a reading is displayed in 30 seconds. No timing, wiping or blotting is required. What is new and different: Ascensia ELITE™ Test Strips are calibrated to give plasma/serum equivalent glucose results. Plasma/serum results are used by doctors and laboratories as the most accurate method for reading blood glucose levels. The Ascensia ELITE System provides you with readings that correspond directly to those of your doctor or clinic. Compare Ascensia ELITE Test Strip results only to systems which use a plasma/serum calibration. TESTING MATERIALS 8 9 6 75 1 2 3 4 11 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 12 7 Test Slot – provides an opening for inserting strip into the Meter. Icon – shows proper orientation and direction for inserting the Test Strip, Code Strip or Check Strip into the Meter. Display – displays test results, current Code (Function) Number (F– #), or low battery indicator. Batteries – provide power for the Meter. Check Strip – confirms that the Meter electronics are working properly, and acti vates the memory recall and the delete option. Code Strip – codes (calibrates) the Meter. Test Strip – tests for glucose in blood and control solutions, and can be used to “mark” a control test or to delete a test result from the memory. Test end – draws sample into the reaction chamber of the Test Strip. Meter end – inserted into the Meter to activate power. MICROLET® Adjustable Lancing Device and 11 lancet – for skin puncture. Normal Control Solution – a solution with a known amount of glucose used to confirm that the system is working properly (Low and High Control Solutions are also available). Introduction (continued) What you do: 1. Insert the Test Strip into the Test Slot located at the top, center of the Meter. 2. Touch the test end (tip) of the Test Strip to a drop of blood. A “beep” sounds after the Test Strip reaction chamber is filled with blood. The test result is displayed in 30 seconds. The Meter turns on when the Test Strip is inserted and turns off when the Test Strip is removed, therefore, no operating buttons are required. The Meter automatically stores the last 20 test results, including both blood glucose and control test results. The Ascensia ELITE System provides blood glucose results ranging from 20–600 mg/dL (1.1–33.3 mmol/L). The Meter is battery operated and approximately 1000 tests may be performed before replacing batteries. CAUTION: Before using any product to test your blood glucose (sugar), read all instructions and practice the test. Do all quality control checks as directed and consult with a diabetes health professional. These recommendations apply to all blood glucose monitoring systems and are supported by the American Association of Diabetes Educators,* the American Diabetes Association, the Food and Drug Administration and the Health Industry Manufacturers Association. *You may call the American Association of Diabetes Educators for the location of a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) near you 1-800-338-DMED. Special Feature 1. WHAT IS DIFFERENT? The part of the Test Strip that touches the sample. 2. HOW IS IT DIFFERENT? The blood sample is drawn into the Test Strip and is not put on the Test Strip. 3. WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN? The test end (tip) of the Test Strip draws (pulls) the blood sample into the Test Strip when the tip touches the blood sample. 4. IN OTHER WORDS: Think of the Test Strip as a straw used for drinking. You put the straw into the liquid. The liquid is drawn into the straw at one end...SO the blood sample is drawn into the Test Strip at one end when you put the tip of the Test Strip into the sample. We call this “Sip-in Sampling.” RIGHT WRONG Contents SECTION 1 – The Ascensia ELITE™ Diabetes Care System • Learn About the System . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 • Install/Replace Batteries . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 • Check the Meter Performance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 • The Check Strip Test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 SECTION 2 – Prepare for the Blood Glucose Test • Code (Calibrate) the Meter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 • The Control Test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 SECT...
