Keep out of reach of children.
• After opening the test strip carton, check the test strip vial for missing, damaged, or
broken parts. Check that the cap is securely closed. If the vial is damaged or the cap is not

Read all instructions for use (meter, test strips, control solution, lancing device)
and practice the testing procedures before using the system to measure glucose
levels. Seek the guidance of a veterinarian before monitoring blood glucose.
Do not use for the screening or diagnosis of diabetes.
Blood glucose values are affected by stress, meals, exercise, health, and medications. Severe
dehydration and excessive water loss may cause inaccurate results. Never change your
pet’s treatment plan without the advice of a veterinarian.
Use only Test Buddy Pet-Monitoring Blood Glucose Test Strips and Test Buddy Control
Solutions with the Test Buddy Pet-Monitoring Blood Glucose Meter. Contact Customer Care
for information on how to get test strips and control solution.
All parts of the system could carry blood-borne pathogens after use, even after cleaning and
disinfecting. For instructions on how to clean and disinfect the meter and lancing device, see
the Meter Cleaning and Disinfecting and Lancing Device Cleaning and Disinfecting sections.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before and after handling the
meter, lancing device, lancets, or test strips, as contact with blood presents an infection risk.
