is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose and β-ketone
Alternate site testing from the forearm and palm may also be used to

β-Ketone Monitoring System is intended for use outside the body ( in vitro
of diabetes management. The system is for self-testing or healthcare
professional use and should not be used for the diagnosis of or screening

hospital settings, venous whole blood may also be used to measure blood
glucose and blood β-ketone when drawn by healthcare professionals.
Glucose or β-Ketone in blood samples reacts with the reagents in the test
strip to produce a small electrical current. The GlucoMen Day METER 2K
®
Glucose or β-Ketone meter detects this electrical current and measures
the amount of Glucose or β-Ketone in the blood sample.

• An abnormally high or low red blood cell count (haematocrit level over
65% or below 15% for glucose strips, and over 60% or below 20% for
β-Ketone strips) may produce inaccurate results.
• Inaccurate blood glucose results may occur in severely hypotensive
individuals or patients in shock. Inaccurate low blood glucose results
may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycemic- hyperosmolar
state, with or without ketosis. Critically ill patients should not be tested
