greater than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L)*2 indicates high blood glucose (hyperglycemia).If your results
are below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), repeat the test, and if the results
are still below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), consult your healthcare
professional immediately.
4.Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or patients in shock. Inaccurate low
results may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without
ketosis. Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood glucose meters.
5.Abnormal red blood cell counts may cause false results. Please consult your healthcare professional
if you do not know your hematocrit level.
6.Interference: Reducing substances occurring in the blood naturally (uric acid, bilirubin) or from thera-
peutic treatments (ascorbic acid, acetaminophen) will not significantly affect Microlife GlucoTeq test
results. However, elevated concentrations of these substances may affect test results. The
compounds listed in the table were found to have no affect at the concentration indicated.

2.Getting to know your System
The Microlife GlucoTeq Glucose Monitoring System
The Microlife GlucoTeq system uses the latest technology to provide you with easy and comfortable
testing. The system requires only 0.5uL blood sample to complete the testing in only 5 seconds.
Please review the contents of your purchase to confirm that all the components are included as listed
on the side of your meter box.
The system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only). It should be used
only for self-testing blood glucose (blood sugar) and only with fresh capillary whole blood
samples. The system is intended for use in the home and in clinical settings. The system should
not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for the testing of newborns.

Battery
Microlife GlucoTeq meters come with one (1) CR2032 lithium battery. The battery is manufactured in a
charged state and not designed for recharging. Recharging the battery can cause battery leakage, or
in some cases, high pressure rupture.
Warning: Batteries can explode or leak and cause burns if installed backwards, disassembled,
charged or exposed to water, fire or high temperatures.
Low Battery
The meter will alert you when the power is getting low by displaying two different messages:
When the battery symbol AR appears alone on the display, the meter is functional and the results
remain accurate, but you should change the battery as soon as possible.
When the battery symbol AR appears together with the «E-b» symbol on the display, the battery does
not have enough power for a test. You must change the battery before using the meter.
Replacing the battery does not affect the meter’s memory (previous test results stored in
memory). However, the date, time and unit settings may need to be updated; update the settings
by following the steps in «Setting Time and Date».
As with all small objects, the battery should be kept away from small children. If the battery is swal-
lowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
Remove the battery if you are not going to use the device for a long period of time (i.e. 3 months
or more), or the battery might leak chemicals.
Please discard the product or the batteries properly according to the regulations of your country.
Setting Mode
Please install battery first and complete the setting before you begin to test.

3.Prepare for blood sampling
If your lancing device did not come with a lancing device insert, the following information shall take
the place of the insert.
Microlife LD-100 Lancing Device
Your lancing device and lancets are used for obtaining blood samples from the puncture site.
Special Features
Intended Use: The lancing device is intended for use by a single person with the lancet puncturing
through the skin for collecting blood sample.
Safety Switch design: when the depth adjustable cap is open, the trigger will be relieved automatically
which prevents users from being pricked if you are not intended to start the test. You can eject the used
disposable lancet on one hand operation by pushing the plunger with your thumb at this status.
When the cap is closed, it will lock the lancet eject function and prevent the lancet from being removed
when you are intended to start the test.
Stable and sophisticated structure design ensures almost no vibration, so that the lancet pricking is
steadier with almost no pain. It lowers the psychological pressure of users very much and let people
recover the test frequencies which recommended by HCPs.
A stylish, slim and ergonomic design is very convenient and user friendly.
Clear indication for depth penetration (numeric display): easy to read and adjust for users.
Important Lancing Device and Lancets Information
1.Lancet is for single use only.
2.Keep lancing device and lancets clean.
3.Use caution when removing the used lancet from the device and when disposing the used lancet.
The meter and lancing device are for single patient use.
Do NOT share them with anyone including family members.
Do NOT use on multiple patients.

How does the Microlife {item_name} measure blood glucose?
The Microlife GlucoTeq blood glucose meter measures blood glucose in the following steps:
1. Wash your hands with mild soap and water before performing the test. Make sure to dry them thoroughly.
2. Insert a test strip into the meter's test strip slot, ensuring that the contact bar end enters first. The meter will turn on automatically.
3. If you want to perform a control solution test, press and hold the main button for 5 seconds after the "⚠" symbol appears on the display. This will mark the test as a control solution test and prevent the result from being stored in the memory.
4. Apply a drop of control solution onto a clean, non-absorbent surface or your clean fingertip. Touch the tip of the test strip to the drop of solution until the meter beeps. The control solution test result will appear on the display, and you should compare it with the range printed on the test strip vial.
5. To measure your blood glucose, prick your fingertip with a lancet and bring the tip of the test strip to touch the blood drop. The meter will automatically start the test and display the result after five seconds. Make sure to follow the instructions for blood sample collection during specific situations, such as before meals, after exercise, or during steady state blood glucose conditions.
6. After the test, you can review your test results by entering the memory mode. Press and hold the main button to turn on the meter, then press the main button again to enter memory mode. You can recall average test results for different time periods and individual test results.
7. To exit the memory mode, press and hold the main button for three seconds.
Remember to store the meter, test strips, and control solution properly according to the specified storage conditions to ensure accurate results. Avoid using organic solvents to clean the meter and handle it with care to prevent damage.
Please note that the information provided is based on the Microlife GlucoTeq blood glucose meter's manual and is intended for informational purposes only. Always consult the manual or healthcare professional for specific instructions and guidance.
What should I do if I experience symptoms inconsistent with the test results from the Microlife {item_name}?
If you experience symptoms that are inconsistent with the test results from the Microlife GlucoTeq blood glucose meter, there are a few steps you can take:
