Read the instructions in this user’s manual. Failure to follow instructions will cause incorrect results. Practise the testing procedures before using the meter. Follow your healthcare professional’s advice when testing blood glucose levels and blood β-Ketone levels.

IMPORTANT: Use only FreeStyle Optium blood glucose test strips and FreeStyle Optium blood β-Ketone test strips. Other test strips may produce inaccurate results.
Potential infection risk: Healthcare professionals performing blood tests with this system on multiple patients must always wear gloves and should follow the infection control policies and procedures approved by their facility.
Observe caution when using around children. Small parts may constitute a choking hazard.
How Your FreeStyle Optium Blood Glucose Monitoring System Works When you insert a test strip into your meter, the Apply Sample message shows on your meter’s display window. When a blood sample or control solution sample is applied to the test strip, the glucose or β-Ketone reacts with the chemicals on the test strip. This reaction produces a small electrical current that is measured. The result shows on your meter’s display window.

Use outside the body only (in vitro diagnostic use) for self testing or professional use in the management of diabetes. Use for measuring blood glucose from samples taken from the forearm, upper arm, base of the thumb, or fingers. • Test blood glucose in fresh whole blood samples • Test blood β-Ketone (β-hydroxybutyrate) in fresh whole blood samples from fingers only
IMPORTANT: See test strip instructions for use for more information about sample types.
IMPORTANT: Avoid getting dust, dirt, blood, control solution, water or any other substance in the meter’s test strip port.

Do not use expired test strips; they may produce inaccurate results. The expiry date is the last day of the month if only the month and year are shown. Do not use a wet, bent, scratched or damaged test strip. Do not use the test strip if its foil packet has a puncture or tear in it.

IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and the test site with warm soapy water to ensure accurate results. Thoroughly dry your hands and the test site. To warm the site, apply a warm dry pad or rub vigorously for a few seconds. Note: Avoid areas near bones, areas with lots of hair, and squeezing the puncture site. Bruising may occur at alternate sites, but will disappear quickly. If bruising occurs, consider selecting another site. Finger tip testing is different to alternative site testing.
