Tenovi Cellular Blood Glucose Monitor

Proper Usage

Understanding Your Glucometer

Power Your Glucometer

The Tenovi Cellular Blood Glucose Monitor can store up to 500 historical measurements on the device. If you take more than 500 readings, the first measurement you took will be erased as you take new measurements. You are able to cycle through previous measurements on the device itself by clicking the button once to turn on the device, and each additional button presses will cycle through the memory. You will see the letter “M” on the screen if you are viewing a saved measurement. After viewing the last measurement on the device, the screen will display “End” to indicate there are no more measurements to view. After the device connects to the cellular network, all saved measurements will be transmitted, if they previously failed.

Recharging the Battery

• When the meter needs to be recharged, the error code “E 11” will
  appear.
• When the Empty Battery symbol appears by itself on the screen, the meter
  cannot be used. You must recharge the battery before using your meter.

The meter battery may be charged using one of the following options:
• USB Type A cable (computer charging)
• USB Type A cable with the AC adapter (wall charging)

Cleaning Your Meter

Step 1: Take one piece of Clorox™ Healthcare Bleach Germicidal Wipes (EPA Registration No. 67619-12) from the container.

Step 2: Clean the entire meter surface including front side, back side, right side and left side.

• The meter should be cleaned whenever they are visibly dirty or a minimum of once per week. This pre-cleaning is to prepare the meter surface for a disinfection process.

Disinfecting Your Meter

Step 1: After cleaning your meter, take out another new piece of Clorox™ Healthcare Bleach Germicidal Wipes.

Step 2: Wipe the entire surface including front side, back side, right side and left side of the meter, by a back and forth movement.

Step 3: Keep the meter surface wet for at least one minute.

Step 4: Wait for the surface of meter to be dry.

• Blood Glucose Meters cannot be reissued as they come into contact with bodily fluids or medication.

• Wash your hands with soap and warm water to increase circulation. Dry thoroughly, as residual moisture can skew results.
• Consistency matters when tracking trends. Try to test at the same time each day and use the same general area, such as the sides of your fingertips.
• Cold hands can restrict blood flow to your fingertips. If you have trouble getting enough blood on the test strip, try warming up your hands before washing them.

• Lancets and Test Strips are SINGLE-USE ONLY. Discard your lancet after each use.
• Don’t squeeze too hard as excessive squeezing can dilute your sample with interstitial fluid, which may affect accuracy.
• Ideal fasting blood glucose levels for most adults are 80–130 mg/dL before meals, and under 180 mg/dL after meals (2 hours).
• Always store strips in a dry place and close the vial immediately after use.
• If your results seem off, test with the manufacturer’s control solution to verify the device is working properly. The control solution test range can be found on the container of test strips.

• In order to ensure your glucometer is providing the most accurate results, you may use the control solution to confirm accuracy.
• On the label of your control solution, it will state whether it is control solution type 1 or 2.
• Check the test strip bottle for the expected range for your control solution. This is not located on the control solution bottle but on the container that has your test strips.
• If the glucose reading is outside of this range, please contact support.
