CAUTION
● If "LO" or "HI" appears on the screen:
Repeat the test. If "LO" or "HI" still appears, contact your doctor or
healthcare professional. "LO" appears if your test result is less than 20
mg/dL (1,1 mmol/L). "HI" appears if your test result is more than 600
mg/dL (33,3 mmol/L).
● The "hypo" or "hyper" icons may appear depending on the threshold
limit you have set (§7.4).
● β-Ketone test warning. If your own blood glucose is above a given
threshold (to be set, §7.5), the ketone icon will start blinking at the
bottom left hand corner of the display and an intermittent beep
will sound, reminding the user that a blood β-ketone test would be
recommended.
● If test results do not match with how you feel: Make sure you have
performed the test correctly as explained in §4.2. Then, conduct
a glucose control test to check that the system is working properly
(§4.3). Repeat the test using a blood sample taken from a fingertip (do
not use an alternative site). If the test result still does not match how
you feel, contact your doctor or healthcare professional.
● Do not ignore test results. Do not alter your blood glucose
management or treatment without first consulting your doctor or
healthcare professional.
d. Press the release button to remove the test strip. The meter will

CAUTION
● When ejecting the used test strip, point your meter downwards and
away from others.
● Disposal of biohazardous waste
Used test strips and lancets are biohazardous waste. They must therefore
be disposed according to local regulations on biohazardous waste.
4.3 Glucose control test
Conduct a control test if:
● you suspect the meter or GlucoMen® areo Sensor test strips are not
working properly;
● the meter has been dropped;
● the meter is damaged;
● your blood glucose test results do not match with how you feel;
● you want to check the performance of the meter and GlucoMen® areo
Sensor test strips when you first get them or any time you want to check
their performance before a blood glucose test.
NOTE
● To test your meter and GlucoMen® areo Sensor test strips only use the
GlucoMen® areo Control (provided separately).
● Do not use the GlucoMen® areo Ket Control for testing the GlucoMen®
areo Sensor: erroneous results would be obtained.
CAUTION
● Do not use control solutions after their expiry date. The expiry date is
indicated on the control solution vial next to the
● For accurate test results, allow the meter, test strips and control
solution to adjust to the surroundings for at least 30 minutes before
running the control test:
- temperature: 5 to 45 °C (41 to 113 °F);
- humidity: 20 to 90% RH.
● Do not use the control solutions if 3 months or more have passed
since first opening the vial.
● Do not drink the control solution. It is not intended for human
consumption.
● Avoid contact of the solution with the skin and the eyes as this could
cause inflammation.
To perform a glucose control solution test, proceed as follows:
a. Insert a new GlucoMen® areo Sensor test strip into the test strip port.
The drop icon starts blinking on the screen and the Glucose icon
"Glu" will be shown at the bottom left hand corner of the display. If
nothing appears on the screen, remove the test strip, insert it into the
test strip port again and wait for the drop icon to start blinking.
b. Enable the CTL mode (§2.1).
WARNING
● If the CTL mode has not been enabled before performing the control
solution test, the result will be stored as a blood test and used for
calculating averages.
● Always enable the CTL mode before conducting a control solution
test or the results may fall outside the acceptable range. To enable the
CTL mode, simultaneously press the UP/DOWN (
two seconds while the drop icon is blinking on the screen.
● Once CTL mode is enabled, CTL mark is displayed together with "ctl"
message written in bigger characters on the main screen.
c. Gently shake the control solution vial before testing. Discard a drop
before use. Squeeze a drop of control solution onto a clean, hard, dry
surface.
d. Touch the control solution drop with the tip of the test strip until the
check window is full. A beeper will sound (if enabled) as the countdown
timer starts on the screen.
NOTE
● The test will not start if you apply your control solution directly to the
check window. The test starts when the meter detects the control
solution. During the test the meter counts down from 5 to 1.
● Tightly close the control solution vial.
● Do not touch the test strip once the meter has started the countdown.
e. Check that your test result is within the acceptable range indicated
on the label of the GlucoMen® areo Sensor test strip vial. If out of range,
make sure that no procedural errors were made, then repeat the control
solution test.
CAUTION
● If you still have test results that fall outside the acceptable range, stop
using the system, and contact the A. Menarini Diagnostics customer
service.
f. Press the release button to remove the test strip. The meter will
switch off.
