A
Adverse reaction - An
unexpected, unpleasant or
dangerous reaction to a
sensor when it is inserted into
the body. An adverse reaction
may be sudden or may
develop over time.
Alarm icon - a solid circle that
shows at the top of the screen
and the monitor beeps or
vibrates periodically until the
condition is cleared (see
Attention mode).
Alarm Snooze - Once a
calibration alert occurs, the
monitor will not repeat the
alert until after this selected
snooze time. This is the
setting for the Meter BG Now
alert.
Alert icon - an open circle that
appears at the top of the
screen and the monitor beeps
or vibrates periodically to
remind you of the condition
(see Special mode).
Attention mode - Tells you that
an alarm is active or that
there is an alarm condition
that needs immediate
attention. In the Attention
mode, a solid circle shows at
the top of the screen and the
monitor beeps or vibrates
periodically until the
condition is cleared.
AUC Limits - The AUC Limits
feature allows you to see how
long your sensor glucose
measurements are outside
your target range. Your target
range is the area between
your Low AUC Limit and your
High AUC Limit. When you set
the AUC Limits, you select the
Low AUC Limit and High AUC
Limit you want for your target
range.
Autoclave - A chamber for
sterilizing with steam under
pressure. The original
autoclave was essentially a
pressure cooker. The steam
tightened the lid. The name
comes from the Greek auto,
self + clavis, key, or self-
locking.
B
BG Units - Blood glucose units
used by the monitor (mmol/L
or mg/dL).
Blood Glucose - The sugar
carried by the blood to
provide energy to the human
body. The digestive system
converts food - protein, fat
and carbohydrate - into
glucose, which is then
absorbed directly into the
blood from the small
intestine. Also known as
dextrose.
C
Cal Reminder - The Cal
Reminder reminds the user of
an upcoming BG Meter
calibration by sending a
METER BG BY alert between
five minutes and six hours
before a new calibration is
required (the timing is pre-
selected by the user). For
example, if the Cal Reminder
is set to two hours, then the
