Important Information About AlphaTRAK Blood GlucoseMonitoring SystemThe AlphaTRAK 2 meter is intended for use outside the body only (in vitro diagnostic use).The AlphaTRAK Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for use in monitoring glucose samplestaken from the dog or cat.Glucose values are affected by stress, meals, exercise, health and medication intake. Severedehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results.Caution: The AlphaTRAK 2 test strips are not intended for human blood glucose testingand may give inaccurate results when used in humans.IMPORTANT: Use only AlphaTRAK2 test strips and AlphaTRAK controlsolution with this meter. Using previousversions of the AlphaTRAK test strips orother brands of test strips and controlsolution with the AlphaTRAK 2 metercan produce inaccurate results.EnglishEnglishImportant Health Related InformationDo use the AlphaTRAK 2 meter for: Testing blood glucose in dogs and cats Testing with fresh whole blood samples Testing with fresh whole capillary samples Testing with fresh whole venous samples Testing with whole blood collected in a syringeor tube with EDTA or heparin anticoagulant iftesting within 10 minutes Testing with whole blood collected in a syringeor tube with no anticoagulant, if testing isperformed immediatelyDo not use the AlphaTRAK 2 meter for: Testing of arterial blood Testing with serum Testing with plasma Diagnosis of diabetesWarning: This system contains small parts that may be dangerous if swallowed.Caution: Please read all the instructions provided in this user guide and practice thetesting procedures before using the AlphaTRAK 2 meter. Blood glucose monitoringshould be done with the guidance of a veterinarian/veterinary surgeon.1Contact Customer Care at 1-888-963-84712

Meter set up isUse the AlphaTrak lancet to obtain a blood sample from the animal. Consult a veterinarian/veterinary surgeon for a recommended sampling method andinstructions.1.Select the test site.There are many sites to obtain capillary blood samples: the marginal ear vein in bothcats and dogs; paw pad in cats and dogs; leg callus, usually dogs; inner or outer lip,dogs only.Warming the area will help increase blood flow. This can be done by: Gently rubbing the test site or Applying a warm (not hot) cloth to the test site. If using a wet cloth, place thecloth inside a plastic bag to avoid diluting the blood sample.2.7Contact Customer Care at 1-888-963-8471EnglishEnglish9.Wash your hands and the test site with warm water and soap to ensureaccurate results. Thoroughly dry your hands and test site.8

4.Remove the round cover from the lancet and prick the test site.Optional: a thin layer of petroleum jelly may be applied prior to lancing the site.This can help the blood form into a droplet and avoid spilling into the hair. TheAlphaTRAK lancing device may be used to assist in obtaining a blood sample.AlphaTRAK Blood Glucose TestingPurposeThe purpose of this section is to produce an accurate blood glucose test result.Performing a Blood Glucose TestGently apply pressure to the test site with sterile gauze or cotton wool to help stopthe blood flow.If you accidentally prick yourself with a lancet, please follow normal first aid procedures.If bleeding persists, please contact your local healthcare professional.1.2.Select the test site.Wash your hands and the test site with warm water and soap to ensureaccurate results. 3.EnglishEnglish3. Thoroughly dry your hands and test site.Check test strip expiry date.Do not use expired test strips; they may produce inaccurate results.IMPORTANT: Use only AlphaTRAK 2 test strips. Other test strips canproduce inaccurate results. The test strips are for single use only.9Contact Customer Care at 1-888-963-847110

Please read the AlphaTRAK 2 test strip package insert for more information. Use the test strips within the meter’s operating range: 40 – 104 F (4 – 40 C). Store test strips in a cool, dry place between 40 – 86 F (4 – 30 C). Store test strips away from direct sunlight and heat. Store test strips in their original vial only. Clean and dry your hands before removing a strip from the vial. Close the vial cap tightly immediately after removing a test strip. Do not transfer test strips to another container. Do not store test strips outside the vial. Do not bend, cut or alter test strips. Do not apply blood to both sides of the test strip. Do not press the test strip against the test site. Do not scrape the blood onto the test strip. Do not apply blood to the flat side of the test strip. Do not apply blood to the test strip when the test strip is out of the meter. Do not put blood or foreign objects into the meter.Warning: Drying agents in the test strip vial may be harmful if inhaled orswallowed and may irritate skin and eyes.11Contact Customer Care at 1-888-963-84714.5.Remove test strip from vial.Note: The meter turns off after 2 minutes of inactivity.Remove and reinsert the unused test strip to restartthe meter.If the meter does not turn on, go to Troubleshooting section.6.Printedside upSampleareasConfirm System Check Screen.
