Use for measuring glucose in fresh whole blood samples taken from fingers, forearm, upper arm or the base of the thumb. Use for measuring ketone (β-hydroxybutyrate) in fresh whole blood samples from fingers only. The system may also aid in the management of diabetes by providing the user with suggested recommendations to insulin dose(s) based on healthcare professional entered data. • Apply blood or control solution to the white target area at the end of the test strip 6 Getting to Know Your Meter What It Means Logbook Breakfast insulin dose Meter ready for sample application Lunch insulin dose Control solution result Dinner insulin dose Units of insulin Fasting test Insulin Ketone Morning long-acting insulin dose Low battery Evening long-acting insulin dose Connected to computer Insulin dose setup Setup mode Low blood glucose or pattern High blood glucose or pattern To turn your meter on: • Press the , or • Insert a strip To turn your meter off: for 3 seconds, or • Press and hold the • Do nothing for 2 minutes Set Time 2.

Taking Care of Your Meter
Changing Batteries
Step You will see this screen when your batteries are low.
1. Check that you are using the correct strip for this meter. (See test strip instructions for use to verify your strip is compatible with this meter.) 2. Repeat the test using a test strip for use with your meter. 3. If the error reappears, contact Customer Care.
No coding required or Test strip may be damaged, used, or the meter does not recognise it
Note: When you no longer need the meter, remove the batteries and dispose of the batteries and meter in accordance with your local government regulations.
Action 2. Remove the old batteries.
The European Battery Directive requires separate collection of spent batteries, aiming to facilitate recycling and to protect the environment. The batteries in this product should be removed and disposed in accordance with local regulations for separate collection of spent batteries.
Note: Your meter settings and logbook information will be saved when you change the batteries.
IMPORTANT: After you first see this warning, you can perform approximately 28 tests before you need to change the batteries.

Clean the outside of the meter using a damp cloth and: • Mild detergent/soap and water, or • 70% isopropyl alcohol, or • A mixture of 1 part household bleach, 9 parts water
2
Allow the meter to dry.
Action 1. Turn meter over and slide open the battery door on the side as shown.
IMPORTANT: Do not place the meter in water or other liquids. Avoid getting dust, dirt, blood, control solution, water, or any other substance in the meter’s test strip port and USB port.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): FreeStyle Optium Neo meter has been tested for both electrostatic discharge and radio frequency interference. Emissions are low and unlikely to interfere with other nearby electronic equipment. To limit radio frequency interference do not use the FreeStyle Optium Neo meter near cellular or cordless telephones, radio transmitters or other electrical or electronic equipment that are sources of electromagnetic radiation, as these may interfere with the proper operation of the meter. Avoid use of the device in very dry environments, as electrostatic discharges from synthetic materials (e.g., carpets) could cause damage.
WARNING: To avoid the possibility of electric shock, never perform a blood glucose test while the meter is connected to the computer.
Out of Range Control Solution Results: • Repeat the test if control solution results are outside the range printed on the test strip instructions for use. • Stop using the meter if control solution results are consistently outside the range printed on the test strip instructions for use. Contact Customer Care.
3. Install new batteries with (+) facing up.

Meter Specifications
Transferring meter data to a computer requires a compatible data management system. You will also need a micro USB cable to connect your meter’s USB port to your computer. For more information, please contact Customer Care.
Note: KET appears with the result if performing a ketone control solution test.
Notes: • If you are testing with a blood glucose strip, you will see a 5-second countdown. If you are testing with a blood ketone strip, you will see a 10-second countdown. • Do not remove the test strip from the meter during the countdown. • If the countdown does not start, remove and discard the used test strip, turn off the meter and try again with a new strip.

1. Review the testing instructions. 2. Repeat the test using a new test strip. 3. If the error reappears, contact Customer Care.
What To Do
6. View the result. The test is complete (examples shown) when the result appears on the meter screen. The result is stored in memory as a control solution result. Compare the control solution result to the range printed on the blood glucose or blood ketone test strip instructions for use. The result should fall within the range.
IMPORTANT: The test result will be saved to memory as a blood result if not marked as a control solution test. This may affect your blood glucose averages.
1. Repeat the test using a new test strip. 2. If the error reappears, contact Customer Care.

5. Hold the control solution to the test strip until: • You see 3 short lines on the meter screen. This means you have applied enough control solution and the meter is reading the control solution.
1. Open the foil test strip packet at the notch and tear down to remove the test strip.

IMPORTANT: • Use only MediSense glucose and ketone control solutions with the meter. • Control solution results should fall within the control solution range printed on the test strip instructions for use. • Check that the LOT number printed on the test strip foil packet and instructions for use match. • Do not use control solution past its expiry date. Discard control solution 3 months after opening or on the expiry date printed on the bottle, whichever comes first. (Example: open April 15, discard July 15; write the discard date on the side of the bottle.) • The control solution range is a target range for control solution only, not for blood glucose levels. • Replace the cap securely on the bottle immediately after use.
4. Apply control solution to the test strip. Shake the control solution bottle to mix the solution. Apply a drop of control solution to the white area at the end of the test strip in the area shown. The control solution is drawn into the test strip.
