For optimum safety and benefits, please read the entire manual
contents before using the system.
Intended use:
CareSens N Eco Blood Glucose Monitoring System is used for the
quantitative measurement of the glucose level in capillary whole
blood as an aid in monitoring diabetes management effectively at
home or in clinical settings.
CareSens N Eco Blood Glucose Monitoring System should be used
only for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only).
CareSens N Eco Blood Glucose Monitoring System should not
be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for testing newborns.
Testing sites include the traditional fingertip testing along with
alternate site testing on forearm and palm.
•
Glucose in blood samples reacts with the chemical in the test strip to
produce a small electrical current. The CareSens N Eco meter detects
this electrical current and measures the amount of glucose in the
blood sample.
•
The CareSens
N Eco Blood Glucose Meter is designed to minimise
code related errors in monitoring by using the no-coding function.
•
The CareSens N Eco Blood Glucose Meter should be used only with
the CareSens N Test Strips.
•
An abnormally high or low red blood cell count (hematocrit level over
65% or below 15%) may produce inaccurate results.
•
If your test result is below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL
(13.3 mmol/L), consult a healthcare professional immediately.
•
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.
•
Inaccurate results may occur in patients undergoing oxygen therapy.
If you need assistance, please contact your authorised i-SENS sales
representative or visit www.i-sens.com for more information.

Control Solution Range
Control A: 101–151 mg/dL (5.6–8.4 mmol/L)
Control B: 184–276 mg/dL (10.2–15.3 mmol/L)
You may check your meter and test strips using the
CareSens Control Solutions(control A and/or B).
The CareSens Control Solution contains a known amount
of glucose and is used to check that the meter and the test
strips are working properly.
The test strip vials have CareSens Control Solution ranges
printed on their labels. Compare the result displayed on the
meter to the CareSens Control Solution range printed on
the test strip vial.
Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips, you
may conduct a control solution test following the
procedure on pages 16-17.
11 Checking the System
Caution:
Ask your healthcare professional to help you decide what your
hypoglycemia level is before setting your level.
Caution: Ask your healthcare professional to help you decide
what your hyperglycemia level is before setting your level.
Note: If the test result is lower than the pre-set
hypoglycemia level, the meter will display the
following.
Note: If the test result is greater
than the pre-set hyperglycemia
level, the meter will display 'Hi'.
If the test result is greater than
240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), 'KET'
will blink three times on the
screen.
Note: The strip expiration date is printed on the test strip vial.
Notes:
• Use only the CareSens Control Solutions.
• Check the expiration date printed on the bottle. When you first open a
control solution bottle, record the discard date (date opened plus
three (3) months) in the space provided on the label.
• Make sure your meter, test strips, and control solution are at room
temperature before testing. Control solution tests must be done at
room temperature (20-25˚C, 68-77˚F).
• Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard the first
drop and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a temperature
between 8-30˚C(46-86˚F).
You may do a control solution test:
• When you want to practice the test procedure using the control
solution instead of blood,
• When using the meter for the first time,
• Whenever you open a new vial of test strips,
• If the meter or test strips do not function properly,
• If your symptoms are inconsistent with the blood glucose test results
and you feel that the meter or test strips are not working properly,
• If you drop or damage the meter.
Situations
• When the control solution bottle was
not shaken well,
• When the meter, test strip, or the control
solution were exposed to high or low
temperatures,
• When the first drop of the control
solution was not discarded or the tip of
the bottle was not wiped clean,
Do This
Repeat the control
solution test by
referring to the
notes on page 15.
• When the meter is not functioning
properly.
• When the control solution is past the
expiration date printed on the bottle,
• When the control solution is past its
discard date (the date the bottle was
opened plus three (3) months),
•
When the control solution is contaminated.
Discard the used
control solution
and repeat the test
using a new bottle
of control solution.
If results continue to fall outside the range printed on the test strip
vial, the CareSens N test strip and CareSen N Eco meter may not be
working properly. Do not use your system and contact your
authorised i-SENS sales representative.
You will need a lancing device in order to collect a blood sample.
You may use the lancing device included in the CareSens N Eco
Blood Glucose Monitoring System or any other medically approved
lancing device.
12 Using the Lancing Device
• The lancing device is for use by a single user only and should not
be shared with anyone.
• 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.

Note: It is recommended to check if the display screen on the meter
matches the illustration above every time the meter turns on. Do
not use the meter if the display screen does not exactly match the
illustration as the meter may show incorrect results.
Note: If the pre-set expiration
date expires, the meter will display
EP when the test strip is inserted.
EP shows alternately also when
the test result is displayed right
after the test.
If the expiration date is set to
October of 2020, the meter will
display EP at the beginning of
November, 2020.
