Introduction
Welcome to the AUVON DS-W Blood Glucose Monitoring System. This user manual is designed to provide comprehensive guidance on using the AUVON Glucose Monitoring System for accurate blood sugar testing. Please read the instructions carefully before use.
Getting Started & Intended Use
Thank you for choosing the AUVON DS-W Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGM). This system is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples, typically drawn from fingertips, forearm, or palm. It is designed for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by individuals with diabetes at home, serving as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. The system is intended for use by a single person and should not be shared. It is not intended for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes or for neonatal use. Alternative site testing should only be performed during steady-state times when glucose levels are not changing rapidly.
For any questions, please contact AUVON Customer Service at support@iauvon.com.
Important Safety Precautions
Before use, it is crucial to adhere to safety guidelines:
- Use only accessories specified by the manufacturer.
- Use AUVON lancets and unopened test strips within their expiration dates. Opened test strips should be used within 3 months of opening.
- Do not use if the lancet is broken or the test strip is damp.
- Avoid comparing AUVON blood sugar test results with those from hospitals or other companies, and do not measure blood sugar twice consecutively without proper reason.
- The system is designed to meet ISO 15197 Standards for accuracy.
- Keep the meter clean and avoid direct sunlight.
- All parts of the kit are considered biohazardous; dispose of test strips and lancets properly to prevent cross-infection.
