Blood glucose monitoring system

More freedom. More condence. With mylife™.

Thank you for choosing the mylife Aveo™ blood glucose monitoring system. Please read this user guide thoroughly before testing

your blood glucose. It provides all information you need to use the product. The mylife Aveo™ blood glucose meter must only

be used with mylife Aveo™ test strips and mylife Aveo™ control solution. The use of other test strips will lead to an error message.

The use of other control solutions may lead to incorrect test results.

It is recommended that the blood glucose level should be monitored regularly. The mylife Aveo™ blood glucose monitoring system

is accurate and easy-to-use and is therefore your reliable diabetes management assistant.

The mylife Aveo™ lancing device and mylife™ Lancets are intended for patient self-monitoring by an individual. They must not be

used on more than one person due to the risk of cross-contamination.

The mylife Aveo™ blood glucose monitoring system is manufactured by i-SENS, Inc. and distributed by Ypsomed AG.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local Ypsomed customer service (see page 59).

Performance characteristics 63

The mylife Aveo™ blood glucose monitoring system is intended for in-vitro (outside the body) diagnostic use

for self-testing and used for the quantitative measurement of the glucose level as an aid in monitoring diabetes

management. The mylife Aveo™ blood glucose monitoring system cannot be used for the diagnosis of diabetes.

The coding of the test strips is automatically detected. The test result is plasma equivalent and achieved

by using (a) fresh capillary whole blood that may be drawn from the ngertip, (b) venous and neonatal whole

blood samples if drawn by healthcare professionals.

You may consult your healthcare professional for instructions on how to use the system correctly. Our customer

support staff are available to assist you. Healthcare professionals may use the mylife Aveo™ blood glucose

monitoring system for surveillance of the blood glucose levels of patients in medical facilities.

For a better understanding of this user guide, the mylife Aveo™ blood glucose monitoring system will be referred

to as BGMS; the mylife Aveo™ blood glucose meter as meter; the mylife Aveo™ Case as case; the mylife Aveo™

test strips as test strips; the mylife Aveo™ lancing device as lancing device; the mylife™ Lancets as lancets;

the mylife Aveo™ control solution as control solution; the mylife™ App as app and the smartphone or personal

computer as mobile device.

Test principle: Glucose in blood samples reacts with the chemical reagent in the test strip to produce a small

electrical current. The mylife Aveo™ meter detects this electrical current, which reects the amount of glucose

in the blood sample.

testing

The mylife Aveo™ test strips should be used with fresh capillary whole blood samples, or with fresh venous

and neonatal whole blood if drawn by healthcare professionals.

Fresh venous whole blood specimens containing the anticoagulants EDTA and Heparin are acceptable.

Iodoacetate or uoride/oxalate are not recommended.

Neonatal capillary samples should be drawn from the heel stick, not from the neonatal cord blood samples.

Do not reuse test strips.

Test strips in new, unopened vials and test strips in vials that have been opened can be used up until the

expiration date printed on the test strip box and vial label if the test strips are used according to their storage

and handling methods.

Do not use test strips past the expiration date.

Store test strips in a cool and dry place at a temperature between 1–30 ˚C.

Keep test strips away from direct sunlight or heat and do not freeze.

Store test strips only in their original vial.

Close the vial tightly after taking out a test strip for testing and use the strip immediately.

Handle test strips only with clean and dry hands.

Do not bend, cut, or alter test strips in any way.

Keep the meter and testing supplies away from young children.

Drying agents in the vial cap may be harmful if inhaled or swallowed and may cause skin or eye irritation.

See how to use the mylife Aveo™ lancing device on page 15 in chapter “How to perform a blood glucose measurement”.

The lancing device is reusable, for one single user only and should thus not be shared with anyone.

It enables the collection of capillary blood samples in combination with sterile standard single-use lancets,

e.g. mylife™ Lancets.

Use a soft cloth or tissue to wipe the lancing device. If necessary, a small amount of alcohol on a soft cloth

or tissue may be used.

To avoid infection when drawing a sample, do not use a lancet more than once and do not use

a lancet that has been used by others. Always use a new sterile lancet and keep the lancing device clean.

Repeated puncturing at the same sample site may cause pain or skin calluses (thick hard skin). Choose a

different site each time you test.

The blood glucose test results of blood samples taken from different sites may vary in certain conditions;

rapid changes in glucose levels following a drink or a meal, an insulin dose or exercise may be seen. Only

the ngertips should be used.

Wash hands and sample

site with soap and

warm water. Rinse and dry

thoroughly.

How to perform a blood glucose measurement

Take off the end cap by

turning both parts smoothly

in opposite directions.

Twist off and set aside

the protective cap of the

disposable lancet.

Insert a new disposable

lancet rmly into the lancet

carrier.

Close the end cap by

smoothly turning both parts

into lock position.

Choose the penetration depth by turning the device cap. 1 for soft or thin skin;

3 for average skin; 5 for thick or calloused skin. Finer adjustments can be made by using

the grid between 1, 3 and 5.

Prime the lancing device by

pulling the sliding barrel.

click!

Take one test strip from the

vial and close the cap of

the vial. Insert the test strip

into the test strip port

on the meter. The meter will

automatically activate.

Once the strip is inserted, the meter turns on, a beep signal is

issued (if volume is turned on) and the strip gets initialised

while the progress is visualised on the display . When the

meter is ready to apply blood onto the strip, the test strip

symbol will appear on the screen with the blood drop

ashing.

Obtain a blood sample

using the lancing device.

Hold the nger on the

lancing device and click

the release button.

If the conrmation window is not lled in time because of

abnormal viscosity (thickness and stickiness) or insufcient

volume, the Er4 message may appear.

The meter may switch off if the blood sample is not applied

within 2 minutes of the symbol appearing on the screen.

If the meters and test strips are exposed to considerable

temperature variation, please wait 30 minutes at room tem-

perature before performing the measurement.

Please note that the BGMS contains small parts (e.g. test

strips) which are a potential choking hazard for children.

Recommended sites for

obtaining blood.

Gently squeeze your nger-

tip to get a drop of blood.

You need a minimum volume

of 0.5 microliter for blood

glucose test. Apply the

blood drop to the narrow

edge of the test strip.

During the time the blood is

going into the test strip, the

segments will rotate clock-

wise. When the conrma-

tion window of the strip is

completely lled with blood,

you will hear a beep (if the

volume of the meter is

switched on) and the meas-

urement process starts.

The countdown mode will

start on the display.

After 5 seconds, the test

result will appear.

When the target range indication is set (see page 33), you will

also get an indication if your measurement is above

or below the blood glucose target range with every blood

glucose result. When your blood glucose is within your

dened range, there is no indication.

You can set a marker to a blood glucose test result to indicate particular situations. You can set up one marker per measurement. Select the marker by

using the left or right button and conrm the marker by pressing the main button. You can choose between the pre-meal marker (which is ashing

by default), a post-meal marker , a fasting marker or no marker.

If you do not wish a marker, either select “no marker” by using the left or right button or wait for 10 seconds (no matter which marker is currently ashing).

When the meter is paired with a mobile device, Bluetooth® gets automatically activated to transfer data after the marker setting (see page 23).
