On Call Sure Sync Patient Counseling Information

Instructions for Use: Blood Glucose Test Strips: See your User's Manual for complete instructions for blood sample collection before use.
1. Open the cap of the test strip vial only to remove a test strip for testing. Replace the cap immediately to protect the remaining test strips from moisture in the air.
2. Run the blood glucose test following the instructions contained in your User's Manual.
3. The blood glucose test result will be shown on the meter display window. This result should fall within the target range. Your healthcare professional should recommend your target range. If your blood glucose test results are higher or lower, ask your healthcare professional what to do. Always consult your healthcare professional before making any changes to your treatment plan.
IMPORTANT: On Call Sure Blood Glucose Monitoring System, On Call Sure Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System and On Call GU Dual Blood Glucose & Uric Acid Monitoring System allow alternative sites testing for forearm and palm testing in additional to fingertip testing. There are important differences between forearm, palm and fingertip samples that you should know.
Important information about forearm and palm glucose testing: When blood levels are changing rapidly such as after a meal, insulin dose or exercise, blood from the fingertips may show these changes more rapidly than blood from other areas.
Fingertips should be used if testing is within 2 hours of a meal, insulin dose or exercise and any time you feel glucose levels are changing rapidly.
You should test with the fingertips anytime there is a concern for hypoglycemia or you suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness.
Range of Expected Values: Blood glucose monitoring requires the help of a healthcare professional. Together you can set your own range of expected blood glucose values, arrange your testing times, and discuss the meaning of your blood glucose results.
Expected blood glucose levels for people without diabetes: See Table 8.

Checking the System: Your blood glucose meter must be handled carefully. See your User's Manual for detailed instructions for meter care. The quality control test should be used to check that the meter and test strips are working together properly. Follow the test procedure in your User's Manual to run a quality control test. Three ranges CTRL 0, CTRL 1 and CTRL 2 are shown on the test strip vial label. Control Solution 1 is sufficient for most all self-testing needs. If you think your meter or strips may not be working correctly, you may also want to do a Control Solution 0 or Control Solution 2 test. Contact your dealer for information on purchasing control solution.
For confirmation of results, Control Solution 0 tests should fall within the CTRL 0 range, Control Solution 1 tests should fall within the CTRL 1 range and Control Solution 2 tests should fall within the CTRL 2 range. When testing with Control Solution 1, make sure you are matching the results to the CTRL 1 range on the vial label.
CAUTION: If your quality control test result falls outside the control range shown on the test strip vial, DO NOT use the system to test your blood, as the system may not be working properly. If you cannot correct the problem, contact your distributor for help.
Glucose Control Solution: 1. Insert a new test strip to turn on the meter. Refer to your meter's User's Manual details on how to record the result as a quality control test and for further details on operating the meter.
2. Shake the control solution bottle thoroughly.
3. Squeeze the control solution bottle gently and discard the first drop. If the tip clogs, tap the tip gently on a clean, hard surface, shake again, and then use.
4. Squeeze out a second small drop on a clean nonabsorbent surface. Touch the sample tip of the test strip to the control solution drop and ensure the strip get sufficient sample.
Notes: Do not apply control solution to the test strip directly from the bottle.
If you applied the control solution sample but do not see the starting of the count down, you may reapply a second drop within 3 seconds.
5. Read the result from the meter display.
Expected Results: Control solution test results should be within the control range. The ranges for CTRL 0, CTRL 1 and CTRL 2 are displayed on the test strip vial (or on the foil pouch). For confirmation of results, Control Solution 0 tests should fall within the CTRL 0 range, Control Solution 1 tests should fall within the CTRL 1 range, and Control Solution 2 tests should fall within the CTRL 2 range. If the test results with control solution fall within the specified control range, it indicates your Blood Glucose Monitoring System is working properly and you are performing the procedure correctly.
If the control solution test results do not fall within the respective ranges: Check the expiration date of the test strip and control solution. Discard any expired test strips or control solution.
Confirm the temperature in which you are testing is between 10 and 40°C (50-104°F).
Make sure that the test strip vial and the control solution bottle have been tightly capped.

Make sure that you followed the test procedure correctly.
After checking all of the conditions listed previously, repeat the control solution test with a new test strip.
