Chapter 1 ® Xtra BLOOD GLUCOSE METER OVERVIEW This section provides general information on the Microdot Xtra Blood Glucose Monitoring System The Microdot Xtra Blood Glucose Monitoring System is a portable whole blood testing system which performs tests with quick and accurate results. It consists of three main parts: 1. Microdot Xtra Blood Glucose Meter 2. Microdot Xtra Test Strips 3.
Chapter 1 SYSTEM COMPONENTS ® Xtra Blood Glucose Meter LCD Screen: Shows blood glucose result and symbols that guide you through the test. Up/Down Toggle Buttons: Scrolls the memory, sets time and date. Eject Button: Releases test strip. Test Strip Port: Insertion site for test strip. Serial Number: Located in the upper left hand corner of the meter. Required when calling Customer Service for troubleshooting or meter replacement.
Chapter 1 SYSTEM COMPONENTS ® Xtra Test Strip The Microdot Xtra Blood Glucose Test Strip offers the latest advances in biosensor, auto-code technology. Blood is applied to the top edge of the Microdot Xtra Test Strip and is automatically drawn into the white channel where the reaction takes place. Only 600 nanoliters (0.6 microliters) is needed. The Microdot Xtra Test Strip consists of the following parts: Top Edge: Apply a drop of blood here, where the white channel meets the top of the edge strip.
Chapter 2 INITIAL SETUP OF THE ® Xtra METER Before using the Microdot Xtra Meter for the first time, you should set the actual Time, Date and Year. The unit of measurement is preset and can not be changed. Setting the Time, Date and Year Enter the Set Mode. To Enter the set mode, turn the meter on by pressing the C button. After the segment test, the time and date will start to flash. Step 1 Set the Time and Date Format.
Chapter 2 INITIAL SETUP OF THE Setting the Beeper After setting the Time and Date, the Sound symbol will appear and can now be changed by pressing the C button. To accept the setting, press the M button. This option is used to switch on or off the beeper. When turned ON, a sound will be heard when blood or control solution is applied to the strip and when the test is finished. The sound will be heard when an error has occurred or if an alarm is triggered.
Chapter 2 INITIAL SETUP OF THE ® Xtra METER Using Meter Memory Your Microdot Xtra Meter stores the 500 most recent blood glucose and control solution test results and insulin data with date and time in the memory. It also provides you with 14-day averages of your blood glucose test results. You can review the test results in memory with these easy steps. Step 1 Enter the Memory Mode. To Enter Memory Mode, turn on the meter by pressing the M button. 1. The meter will display the last result with Mem.
Chapter 3 CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING This chapter describes the necessary steps to test with the Microdot® Control Solutions in order to validate the performance of the Microdot Xtra Meter and Microdot Xtra Strips. When Should You Conduct a Control Solution Test? Operating Guidelines: Any time you open a new vial of test strips. Use only Microdot Control Solutions (High and Low). Whenever you think the system is not working properly. Check the expiration date on the control solution vial.
Chapter 3 CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING Notes: Control Solution Test Procedure: The control solution test is similar to a blood test except that you use Microdot® Control Solution instead of a drop of blood. The control solution ranges printed on the test strip vial are for Microdot Control Solutions only. It is used to check the meter and test strip performance. It is NOT a recommended range for your blood glucose level.
Chapter 3 CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING 5. Compare the results with the ranges of expected results shown on the test strip vial. (Low = Blue Cap, High = Red Cap) If the test result is still out of range, call your Microdot® Customer Service Representative at: 6. You should obtain results within the expected range printed on the test strip vial. If this is not so, repeat the test.
Chapter 4 TESTING WITH PATIENTS This section describes the procedure to test patient blood samples using the Microdot® Xtra Blood Glucose System. Operating Guidelines Before attempting to test with real blood, make sure you have performed control solution tests correctly to ensure the meter and test strips are performing properly and to verify technique. Use the test strips before their expiration date and within three months after opening. Do not use test strips that are wet, bent, scratched or damaged.
Chapter 4 TESTING WITH PATIENTS What You Do 3. Apply sample. Notes The blood drop symbol will flash alternately to indicate the meter has detected that a test strip has been inserted and is ready for the blood sample to be added. Apply the drop of blood directly to the edge of the test strip, and allow the sample to wick automatically into the test zone. If you do not apply a blood sample within one minute, the meter will turn itself off.

Chapter 9 TROUBLESHOOTING THE ® Xtra METER The blood glucose level is higher than 525 mg/dL. This message indicates very high blood sugar. You should recheck the blood glucose level. If “Hi” again, follow facility protocol. The blood glucose level is lower than 20 mg/dL. This message indicates very low blood sugar. You should recheck the blood glucose level. If “Lo” again, follow facility protocol. Error message that indicates that there is a problem with the meter, e.g.
Chapter 10 ® Xtra C L E A N I N G YO U R M E TE R Cleaning Your Meter First, remove the anti-microbial meter cover. Second, use a lint free cloth dampened with soapy water or isopropyl (70% - 80%) to clean the outside of the blood glucose meter. Microdot Meter Disinfecting Guideline: To disinfect the meter, dilute 1 mL of household bleach (5% - 6% sodium hypochlorite solution) in 9 mL of water to achieve a 1:10 dilution (final concentration of 0.5% - 0.6% sodium hypochlorite).
