3. Setup and First Use

3.1 Unpacking the Kit

Carefully unpack all components from the box. Ensure you have the glucometer, test strips, lancets, and lancing device.

3.2 Inserting Batteries

The Sinocare Safe AQ Pro uses alkaline batteries. Open the battery compartment on the back of the device and insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity.

3.3 Setting Up the Lancing Device

1. Remove the cap from the lancing device.
2. Insert a new sterile lancet firmly into the lancet holder.
3. Twist off the protective cap from the lancet.
4. Replace the lancing device cap.

4. Operating the Glucometer

4.1 Performing a Blood Glucose Test

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water, then dry them completely.
2. Insert a new test strip into the test strip port of the glucometer. The meter will turn on automatically.
3. Prick the side of your fingertip with the lancing device to obtain a blood drop.
4. Gently touch the tip of the test strip to the blood drop. The blood will be drawn into the strip.
5. Wait for 5 seconds. The result will be displayed on the screen.
6. Note the result and dispose of the used test strip and lancet safely.

4.2 Understanding Results and Ketone Alert

The meter displays results in mg/dL. It also features a color-coded indicator for quick interpretation:

• Green: 70mg/dL (3.9mmol/L) - 126mg/dL (7.0mmol/L) - Normal range.
• Red: ≤70mg/dL (3.9mmol/L) or ≥250mg/dL (13.9mmol/L) - Indicates dangerously low or high levels.
• Yellow: >126mg/dL (7.0mmol/L) - 250mg/dL (13.9mmol/L) - Indicates elevated levels requiring attention.

An intelligent ketone alert will activate if your blood glucose reading is ≥250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L), prompting you to test for blood ketones.
