1 introduction

dear customer,

we are delighted that you have decided to purchase this blood sugar measuring system. The device measures your blood sugar with extremely high accuracy. It is fitted with an automatic memory for 450 measured values with date and time. In addition, the device can calculate average values based on blood sugar measured values carried out over the last 7,14, 21, 28, 60 and 90 days. This enables you to follow changes easily and tell your doctor about them in good time. The system is intended for use by private persons for active blood sugar checks. It is not suitable for the determination of diabetes or for the determination of blood sugar values for newborn babies. When testing, use only fresh, capillary whole blood. This instruction manual is for your information. Please read it carefully and completely, follow all instructions and carry out all control tests as described before you actually carry out a blood sugar test. Keep this instruction manual in a safe place.

Subject to technical alterations.

Preliminary notes!

This blood sugar measuring device conforms with the requirements of EU guideline 98/79 for "in vitro"

diagnostic devices and has been issued with the "CE 0123" conformity sign.

The ibp company confirms conformity with these requirements for the device

supplied together with this instruction manual. The conformity declaration is available.

CE 0123

• Never change prescribed predicament quantities by yourself because of your measured blood sugar values. Only your doctor can evaluate measured results.
• Results which lie below 3.3mmol/L ( 60mg/dL ) are an indication of "hypoglycemia", blood sugar levels which are too low. If the results are above 13.3mmol/L ( 240mg/dL ), it is possible that symptoms of too high a blood sugar level ("hyperglycemia") can occur. You should visit the doctor if your measured results are regularly above or below these limit values.
• If the measured results show "HI" or "LO", carry out the measurement again. If you again receive measured results of "HI" = over 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L) or "LO" = below 20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L), please carry out your doctor's instructions or contact him immediately.
• Lack of water or large fluid losses (such as through sweating) can cause falsified measured values. If you suspect that you are suffering from dehydration, in other words lack of fluids, you should visit a doctor as soon as possible.
• If your level of red blood cells (hematotic value) is very high (over 55% ) or very low (below 30% ), this can lead to falsified measured results.
• If have read all the instructions in this instruction manual and symptoms are still occurring which are not compliant with your blood sugar levels or your blood pressure, please contact a doctor.

3 before operation

the blood sugar measuring system

Your blood sugar measuring system can be used to measure blood sugar levels up to a height of 3275m above sea level without affecting the test results. The blood sugar measuring system consists of three components: the blood sugar measuring device, the test strips and the control solutions. These components were specially designed to match each other, tested and quality-confirmed in our R&D department. This enables this measuring device to measure and display the blood sugar level extremely precisely (whole blood calibrated measurement results). Only use test strips and control solutions approved for use with this blood sugar measuring device. If you have any questions about your measured values, please contact your doctor.

6 test strips

Your measuring device determines the sugar levels in your blood. When you put a drop of blood on the absorption gap on the test strip to do a test (chemical components of test strip: 1. Glucose oxidase (A. niger) 30 IU, 2. Electron shuttle 1.5mg , 3. Enzyme protector 0.13mg , 4. Non-reactive ingredients 2.5mg , 5. Each vial cap with 3.0g molecular sieve), the blood is automatically sucked into the reaction cell. A reaction now takes place here.

Test strip components

Contacts

Feed this end of the test strip into the blood sugar measuring device. Push the strip firmly into the device up to the stop.

Control window

This little window on the test strip shows you whether you have applied enough blood.

Absorption gap

Place a small drop of blood in contact with the absorption gap. The blood is sucked into the test strip by itself.

Handle

Grip the test strip at this end while applying blood and feeding the strip into the device.

important information about test strips:

• Keep the test strips in a cool, dry place (only in original container, below 40^ or 104^ ). Protect the strips from direct sunshine and do not freeze them.
• Only touch the test strips with clean, dry hands. When taking the strips out of the container and feeding them into the measuring device, try to hold them only by the handle.
• When you take a test strip out of the container, put the cover back on the container straight away and make sure that it is closed to form an airtight seal. Always use each test strip as soon as you have taken it out of the container.
• Write the opening date on the container label when you open it for the first time. You should use the rest of the test trips up within 90 days of opening.
• Do not use any test strips which are past their use-by date, since this can falsify the measured results. The use-by date is printed on the container.
• Only apply blood samples or the control solutions supplied to the gap on the test strip. Application of other substances leads to inaccurate or false measured values.
• The test strips must not be bent, cut or otherwise altered in any way.

Warning:

Keep the container with the test strips away from children! The sealing cap means there is a danger of suffocation. In addition, the sealing cap contains drying materials which could be hazardous to health if breathed in or swallowed. This can lead to skin or eye irritations.

7 calibrating the device

carrying out a self-test

Every time you feed a test trip into the measuring device (Fig. 1), the display will show "CHK" for check and the "Test strip" symbol. These show that the system is briefly carrying out various self-tests. Once the self-test is finished, you will hear a long beep followed by a short one. When the test trip is removed, you will hear a shorter beep.

why coding?

The code numbers are used to calibrate the test strips with the device in order to achieve exact test results. Before you use a device for the first time, and every time you use a new container of test strips, you must first feed the check/code strips into the device. After this, every time you carry out a test you should check that the number which appears in the display is the same as the code number on the test strip container.

Warning:

If the code number displayed is not the same as the code number on the test strip container, the measured results can be falsified.

before first-time use

Before you use the measurement system for the first time, feed the check/code strip into the device until the code number is shown in the display (Fig. 2). Then pull the check/code strip out again. The display will then show "OK" (Fig. 3). This shows that the system is now calibrated and that you can start the test.

how to check the coding

1. Feed the test strip into the device when switched off (Fig. 1) to switch it on. The display will show "CHK" and the "Test strip" symbol. After this, the surrounding temperature is displayed, and then the code number is shown for three seconds.
2. Compare the code number displayed with the code number on the test strip container (Fig. 4). If the code numbers are the same, you can start the blood sugar test. If this is not the case, please proceed as described above ("before first-time use").

Note: Every time you open a new container of test strips, the device must be calibrated by feeding in the new check/code strip.

8 checking the system

control solutions

The control solutions are used to check the entire blood sugar measurement system. This allows you to determine whether the device and the test strips are working together optimally, and whether the test is being carried out correctly. It is important to carry out the test with the control fluids regularly in order to ensure that you are receiving precise measured results.

The control solutions contain a specified proportion of glucose which is precisely known. When you carry out the blood sugar test with this liquid, you can check afterwards whether the measured value is within the range of the actual value. The actual value for the control solutions is printed on the test strip container. There are two different, colour-coded control solutions, one for the "normal" value range (green) and the other for the "high" value range (red).

The control solutions should be used:

to practise the blood sugar test.
to ensure that the device and the test strips are working perfectly together.
to check that the test has been carried out correctly.

Before you carry out the first blood sugar test, you should carry out three successful tests with the control liquid one after the other. This makes sure that you are able to carry out the test correctly, and that the device is working perfectly. If all three test results reach the value which is printed on the test strip container, you can start carrying out the actual blood sugar measurement.

When should you carry out a test with the control solution?

• at least once per week
• when you open a new container of test strips

• if the measured results do not agree with the way you feel

• if the device has been dropped

• every time when you suspect that the blood sugar measuring system is not working correctly

important information about control solutions

• Only use control solutions included in delivery.
• Write the date of opening on the bottle.
• Check the use-by date for the solution. Never use solutions past their use-by date.
• The control solution should reach room temperature (20^ to 25^ / 68^ to 77^) before you use it.
• Shake the bottle of test solution well before you open it. Wipe the first drop away, and then use the second drop to ensure that you have a good sample for precise measure results.
• You should use the control solution up within 90 days of opening.
• Keep the solutions safely closed away at room temperature (below 30^ ). Never freeze them!

Warning:

The measured value for the solutions which is printed on the test strip container is only used to check the measuring system. It is not intended as a recommended value for your blood sugar level!

8 checking the system

how to check using control solutions

1. Feed your test strip into the test strip opening with the contacts first, and the device display facing you (see Page 19). You should ensure that the test strip is firmly located in the device to achieve exact measured results. The device switches itself on automatically. The display will show "CHK" and the "Test strip" symbol. After this, the surrounding temperature, the symbol and the code number are displayed. You should calibrate your device (see Page 10) if the code number shown in the display is not the same as the code number on the test strip container.

2. If you press the Menu button once, "CTL" is shown in the display. If the "CTL" symbol is being shown in the display, any blood sugar levels measured will not be saved to the internal memory. This means that you will not be influencing your measured values statistics when carrying out tests with the solutions. If you want to save the following measurement to the memory, however, press the Menu button again and "CTL" will no longer be shown in the display.

Warning: Every time you carry out a test with the control solution, you should always activate the CTL mode beforehand so that your saved measured value statistics are not falsified!

checking the system 8

1. Shake the control solution well before using it. Unscrew the cap and squeeze one drop out. Wipe the first drop away, and then squeeze another one out. Put the drop onto your fingertip (Fig. 7).
   Note: In order to make sure that the control solution is not contaminated by contact with the test strip, do not apply the drop directly to the strip, but first apply it to something clean or to your fingertip.
2. Apply the drop onto the absorption gap. The solution is sucked into the gap. When the control window is completely full of the solution, the blood sugar measuring device starts a 10 second countdown.
3. The glucose measurement takes place after the countdown has finished, and then the result is shown in the display. Check to see that the result is the same as the stipulated control solution value. This value is printed on the test strip container.

Warning:

If you achieve incorrect measurement results with the control solution which deviate from the stipulated value time after time, the measurement system is no longer working correctly. In this case, you should stop using the device to measure your blood sugar level. Please see the chapter entitled "troubleshooting" on Pages 29-31. If you are still unable to solve the problem, please contact our customer service department (see guarantee page).

9 the blood sugar test

preparation

Ensure that you have read all the information about the device, the test strips and all of this chapter through carefully before you start the test.

1. Make sure you have all materials required for the blood sugar test (Fig. 9) ready:

A your ibp measuring device
B the test strips
C the pricking aid
D the sterile lancets

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and dry them well.

how to obtain a blood drop

important information about avoiding infection:

• Never use a lancet or picking aid together with another person.
• Always use a new sterile lancet for each test. Lancets should only be used once.

• Try to prevent hand lotion, or oils or dirt getting in or onto the lancet or pricking aid.

• Open the pricking aid by turning the cap anticlockwise and removing it. Feed the lancet into the pricking aid up to the stop (without turning it at the same time) (Fig. 10).

• Unscrew the protective cap from the lancet (Fig. 11).
• Place the cap on the pricking aid again and tighten it by turning it clockwise (not too firmly).

The adjustable tip can be adjusted to 5 different pricking depths. Turn the end cap in the appropriate direction until the arrow points to the number for the required pricking depth (Fig. 12).

How to find a suitable pricking depth for yourself:

1-2 for soft or thin skin
3 for normal skin
4-5 for thick or calloused skin

9 the blood sugar test

1. Tension the pricking aid by pulling it apart (as shown in Fig. 13) until it engages with a "click". If it does not engage, it was probably tensioned already when inserting the lancet.
2. Place the pricking aid against your fingertip (on the side if possible) and then press the trigger button (Fig.14). Help the blood drop to emerge by massaging the location softly.

Ensure that the blood drop does not smear (Fig. 15) and then carry out the test as described on Page 15.

Note: Your system only requires a small drop of blood to carry out a test. You can obtain this from one fingertip. You should always use a different location for each test. Repeated pricks in the same location can cause inflammation and loss of feeling.
6. Open the pricking aid again by turning the cap anticlockwise and removing it. Remove the used lancet carefully by pulling it out, and then dispose of it carefully in order to avoid injuries to other people. Put the cap on once again and close it firmly.

how to carry out the test

1. Feed the test strip into the test strip opening with the contacts first and the device display facing you (see Fig. 16). You should ensure that the test strip is firmly located in the device to achieve exact measured results. The device switches itself on automatically. The display will show "CHK" and the "Test strip" symbol. After this, the surrounding temperature, the symbol and the code number are displayed. You should code your device (see Page 11) if the code number shown in the display is not the same as the code number on the test strip container.
2. Use the pricking aid to obtain a rounded blood drop of at least 2 microlitres. When the symbol flashes in the display, apply the blood drop to the absorption window on the test strip at the location where the window and gap meet. Do not press your finger against the test strip, and do not apply smeared samples.
3. The control window in the test strip must be completely filled with blood before the device can start the countdown (Fig. 17). If the control window is not completely filled with blood (Fig. 18) and the device starts the measuring process, do not apply more blood sub

9 the blood sugar test

sequently. Pull the test strip out to stop the test process. Start again from the beginning by feeding in a new test strip and applying the necessary blood drop. If you cannot manage to fill the test strip with enough blood, please contact our service department.

Note: If you do not apply blood to the test strip within three minutes, the device switches itself off automatically. Remove the strip, and then feed it into the device again to start the test procedure once more.

1. After the device has finished the countdown, the measured results are shown in the display. The blood sugar test measured values are automatically stored in the memory. To turn the device off, pull the test strip out.

Warning: Dispose of used to test trips and used lancets very carefully in order to prevent injury or infection to other persons.

The measured results produced by your "ibp TD 4222" blood sugar measuring device are precise whole blood-calibrated test results (Fig. 19), which can be directly compared with laboratory results.

(Fig. 18)

Example: correct blood application

Example: insufficient blood application

(Fig. 19)

Example: whole blood-calibrated result

deviating measured results

Your " ibp TD 4222" blood sugar measuring device measures results between 1.1 and 33.3mmol / l (20 and 600~mg / dl)

1. If the measured results lie below 1.1 mmol/l (20 mg/dl), "LO" appears in the display (Fig. 20). This shows severe hypoglycemia (blood sugar level too low). In this case, you should follow your doctor's instructions as soon as possible.
2. If the measured results lie above 33.3 mmol/l (600 mg/dl), "HI" appears in the display (Fig. 21). This shows severe hyperglycemia (blood sugar level too high). In this case, you should seek medical help as soon as possible.
3. If the measured results lie above 13.3 mmol/l (240 mg/dl), "KETONE" and "?" appear in the display (Fig. 22). This indicates an increased blood sugar level. In this case, you should also seek medical help.

(Fig. 20)

(Fig. 21)

(Fig. 22)

11 the measured value memory

how to call up average values

Your measuring device saves the newest 450 blood sugar level values in its memory. In addition, the ibp TD 4222 can calculate average values based on blood sugar measured values carried out over the last 7, 14, 21, 28, 60 and 90 days. Proceed as follows to call up the measured values from the memory.

• If the device is switched off, press the Menu button once, and then once again after the beep. The 7-day average value is shown in the display, and also shows you that you are in the memory. Each time you press the Menu button again, the average values for the last 14, 21, 28, 60 and 90 days are shown one after the other. After this, you can call up the last 450 measured results in sequence.

The 7-day average value is obtained from the blood sugar tests

carried out over the last 7 days. In addition, the display shows you how many tests you have carried out during this period, in the example (Fig. 23) 12 tests in the last 7 days. When you use the device for the first time, the display shows "7 Davg ---". This shows that no measured results have been saved.

The 14-day average value is obtained from the blood sugar tests carried out over the last 14 days. In this case, the device also shows you how many tests you have carried out in this period. When you use the device for the first time, the display shows "14 Davg ---". This shows that no measured results have been saved. The same procedure also applies to the average values for 21,20 8,60 and 90 days.

how to call up individual measured values

• If the device is switched off, and you press the Menu button 8 times, the last measured test results will be shown in the display with date and time (after the 90-day average value) (Fig. 24). If you press the Menu button again, the test result prior to this one will be called up. By pressing the Menu button again and again, you will call up the previous measure result (up to 450 saved measured values) each time. If the measured value memory is full, the oldest measured value will be deleted as soon as a new value is saved.

Note: If you are using the device for the first time, the display will show "mem —" to show you that no test results have been saved yet.

how to quit the memory section

• Press the Menu button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds. The display shows "OFF" and the device will switch itself off.

Note: To completely delete all memory contents, please read the chapter entitled "device settings" on Page 26.
