Description In vitro diagnostic medical device.
Sensors for the quantitative determination of glucose levels in fresh capillary whole blood; to be used exclusively with the GlucoMen areo 2K instrument.
The sensors are designed for monitoring and self-monitoring blood glucose levels in people with diabetes mellitus; they can also be used in hospital settings by healthcare professionals.
It is not intended for use in the diagnosis or screening of diabetes or for use in newborns.
Do not change your treatment based on test results without first consulting your doctor or healthcare professional.

How to use 1. Insert a new GlucoMen areo Sensor (white) into the test strip port. The drop symbol will start flashing on the display and the glucose symbol "Glu" will appear in the lower left corner. If nothing appears on the display, remove the sensor, reinsert it into the port, and wait for the drop symbol to start flashing.
For information on how to use the lancing device, read the instructions for use provided with it.
2. Hold the tip of the sensor in contact with the blood drop until the control window fills. You will then hear a beep (if enabled) and the display will show a countdown.
3. Read the test results. A beep will announce the test result with the glucose symbol "Glu" appearing on the screen.
4. To remove the sensor, press the eject button. The instrument will turn off.
Warnings Keep the instrument, sensors, and other components out of the reach and sight of children. Small parts may pose a choking hazard.
Handle the bottle and sensors with clean, dry hands.
Dispose of the used bottle and sensors according to local regulations.
Handling blood can be dangerous: use extreme caution when handling blood, sensors, lancets, and the meter.
Conservation Store the sensor vial in a dry place at 4-30°C. Do not freeze. Avoid heat and direct sunlight.
Store all unused sensors in the original bottle, and after removing one, close the cap tightly to preserve its quality. Do not transfer sensors to other containers.
Do not use sensors beyond their expiration date.
Do not use the sensors for more than 12 months after first opening the bottle. It is recommended to write the disposal date on the label (first opening date + 12 months).
Unopened strips have a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
Format Pack of 25 sensors.
