Description
Blood glucose monitoring system.
The IRIS Evolution system is designed to measure quantitatively the concentration of glucose in the whole capillary blood. IRIS blood glucose test Evo is based on the measurement of the electrical current caused by the reaction of glucose with reagents on the electrode of the reactive strip. The blood sample is sucked into the tip of the reactive strip by capillary action. Glucose in the sample reacts with the enzyme and mediator. Electrons are generated and produce a current that is directly proportional to the glucose concentration in the sample. After the reaction process, the concentration of glucose in the sample is displayed. The tool is calibrated to display plasma concentration results.
The IRIS Evolution system is intended for external use (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes and medical professionals, so as to effectively monitor diabetes. The system should not be used for diagnosis on diabetes.

Take a test
Preparation of reactive strips
1. Wash and dry your hands before testing.
2. Remove a reactive strip from the bottle. Carefully close the lid of the bottle immediately after removing the reactive strip.
3. Insert the reactive strip into the tool towards arrows. The meter lights up after an acoustic signal.
4. A symbol appears with a reactive strip with a flashing blood drop to indicate that the instrument is ready for testing.
Note: Check the expiration date on the reactive strip bottle. IRIS reactive strips Evo has a duration of 6 months after opening the bottle. Write the opening date on the bottle label when opening it for the first time. Make sure the strips are not damaged. Before the test, clean the test site with a tampon of alcohol or soapy water. Wash your hands thoroughly in hot water to increase blood flow if necessary. Then thoroughly dry your hands and the withdrawal site. Make sure there is no cream or lotion on the withdrawal site.
Preparation of the punched device
To obtain a blood sample of the tip of the fingers, adjust the penetration depth to reduce pain. You do not need the clear terminal (AST alternatives) to get a blood sample from your fingertips.
1. Unscrew the cover of the device punctuated by the body of it. Insert a sterile hand into the punched device and push it until the hand stops completely in the device.
2. Hold the hand firmly in the pointed device and rotate the safety tab of the hand, then extract the safety tab from the hand.
Store the safety tab for the subsequent disposal of the hand used.
3. Carefully screw the lid on the punched device. Avoid contact with the exposed needle. Make sure the cover is completely screwed onto the device.
4. Adjust the penetration depth by turning the cover of the punched device. There are a total of 5 penetration depth settings. To reduce pain, use the lower setting that produces an adequate drop of blood.
Regulation:
- 0 and 1 for delicate skins;
- 2 and 3 for normal skins;
- 4 and 5 For callous or thick skins.
Note: Increased pressure of the device on the finger also increases the drilling depth.
Get a drop of blood and run the test
1. Pull back the terminal to load the device punched. The device will issue a click; the release button changes color and becomes orange to indicate that the device pricked now is loaded and ready to get a drop of blood.
2. Press the boxing device as from image. Push the release button to punch the fingertip. You should feel a click when the punched device is activated.
3. Gently massage your finger from the base to the tip to obtain the desired blood volume. Avoid touching the drop of blood. To reduce pain it is recommended to puncture on the finger side. Test immediately after obtaining a necessary amount of blood.
4. Contact immediately the tip of the reactive strip with the drop of blood. The blood will be sucked into the reactive strip through the tip.
Make sure the reactive streak channel has been fully filled.
Keep the tip of the test strip in contact with the blood drop until the meter emits an acoustic signal.
Note: If the blood sample does not fill the reactive strip channel, do not add a second drop. Discard the reactive strip used and test again using a new reactive strip.
5. The meter will start a countdown of 5 seconds. An acoustic signal will alert the test term and the result will be displayed on the meter display.
Disposal of used reactive strips
You can manually extract the reactive strip used after the test. The meter will automatically turn off after an acoustic signal.

Expected results and ideal values for diabetes
Blood glucose values vary according to food intake, drug dosages, health, stress or exercise. It is ideal to control blood glucose levels and compare them to normal results (for non-diabetic patients).
WARNING
- If blood glucose reading is less than 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L) or if you view LO (less than 10 mg/dL (0.6 mmol/L) on the meter display, contact your doctor as soon as possible. - If the test result is higher than 250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L) or if you view HI (up to 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L)) on the meter display, please contact your doctor as soon as possible. - Do not modify pharmacological therapy based on the result of the test performed with IRIS Evolution before consulting your doctor. Discussable or inconsistent results: If the result of blood glucose does not match how it feels:
- check the expiry date of the reactive strips used. Make sure that the reactive strip bottle has not been opened for more than 6 months;
