DOING A TEST ON CHOLESTEROL MACHINES

Step One:
Insert the MEMo Chip and turn the cholesterol machines on.  Check messages (Make sure the display reads INSERT STRIP.)

Step Two:
Apply blood to strip.  (Make sure blood covers the white area completely).

Step Three:
Insert strip as far as it will go.

Step Four:
Wait--read results.

RUNNING A CONTROL TEST
A Quality Assurance Program is a standard requirement of all medical laboratories. As you use your BioScanner 2000  cholesterol machines in your home, it is recommended that you should follow the guidelines set up for clinical laboratories. Some of the standards include running a Control Test when the following circumstances occur:

• Whenever you open a new vial or lot of test strips.  
• If someone different is operating the cholesterol machines. 
• If you question any displayed results.

In a formal Quality Assurance Program, controls are run, and results are recorded and reviewed to help spot trends and significant changes.

Note: A control is run the same way that blood is tested. Instead of a drop of blood, a drop of control is placed on the strip. (See "Doing a Test".) The expected control ranges are provided with each package of control solution.

MEMORY STORAGE
The BioScanner 2000 cholesterol machines memory can store up to 250 Glucose test results and 30 of each other test. The machines can provide the last test result, an average value for the last 10 results, and the average values of the last 14 and last 30 days' tests results.

Note: As more than 250 total Glucose tests are performed, the memory will drop the oldest value and add the new value.

To Recall Test Results in Memory:

1. Turn your BioScanner cholesterol machines "on" by pressing either button (if not already in use). Wait for display to read INSTALL MEMO CHIP or INSERT STRIP.
2. Hold both buttons down to enter the Main Menu.
3. In the Main Menu, press "NEXT" until RECALL is displayed.
4. Press "ENTER" to get to the Chemistry Menu.
5. Press "ENTER" again to recall Chemistry name; OR To recall controls, press "NEXT", followed by "ENTER". If more than one control test has been run, select the chemistry name you would like to view.
6. If more than one test has been run, press "NEXT" until desired chemistry name appears. Select the Chemistry name you would like to view by pressing "ENTER".
7. Press "NEXT" to choose from LAST, LAST 10 (average), 14 DAY (average), and 30 DAY (average) and press "ENTER" to recall results. (Calculations of averages may take up to 10 seconds.)
8. Press "NEXT" until display reads EXIT, then press "ENTER", OR Press "ENTER" to return to the Chemistry name menu.
9. Press "NEXT" until display reads EXIT. Then press "ENTER", and repeat until RUN TEST is displayed.

CARING FOR YOUR BioScanner 200O™ cholesterol machines

• Handle your BioScanner 2000 cholesterol machines carefully. It is a sensitive electronic device and should not be dropped.
• To avoid the possibility of contamination from body oils and other substances, wash your hands in warm water using an antibacterial soap and dry thoroughly.
• Do not expose the BioScanner 2000 cholesterol machines or any of the supplies or accessories to high humidity, extreme heat or cold, or dust and dirt.
• Handle the Check Strip by the base of the plastic strip. Do not get it wet, dirty or damaged.
• If the exterior of your instrument needs cleaning, dampen a tissue with water and wipe the surfaces and the display area carefully. Be careful not to get the Test Strip Insert Guide area (where the strip is inserted) wet.
• Carefully wipe the Test Strip Insert Guide area with a clean, damp (not wet), lint-free tissue or cloth (gauze works well).
• Do not store or operate your instrument in direct sunlight.
• Removal of screws from back of instrument voids any and all warranties.
