What is the Freestyle Freedom Lite Meter?
The FreeStyle Freedom Lite Meter is a medical device that helps people with diabetes check their blood sugar levels.
It uses small drops of blood from areas like the fingers, arms, and thighs to measure glucose, a type of sugar in the blood.
This meter is for self-testing at home and can also be used by healthcare professionals to monitor diabetes management plans.
It’s important to note that this meter is not for diagnosing diabetes, screening for diabetes, or testing blood samples from newborns.
For accurate results, use the specific test strips designed for this meter. Store the test strips properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Always wash and dry your hands before testing and follow the instructions to ensure the meter works correctly.
How to Use
The FreeStyle Freedom Lite Meter is a simple device that helps people with diabetes check their blood sugar levels.
Here are the easy steps to use it effectively:
- Choose a place on your body to test, like your fingertips, forearm, or thigh. Avoid spots with moles or veins to prevent bruising.
- Clean your hands and the test area with warm, soapy water, then dry them completely. Don’t use lotion on your hands before testing.
- Make sure the test strip is not expired or damaged before use. Only use FreeStyle Lite test strips for accurate results.
- Take a new test strip from the vial and insert it into the meter, printed side up. This will turn on the meter.
- A display will show up to confirm the meter is working. If it doesn’t match the example, don’t use the meter and contact Customer Care.
- Use the lancing device to get a small drop of blood. The meter needs just a tiny amount, about 0.3 microliters.
- Touch the blood drop to one sample area on the test strip and hold it there until you see movement on the display or hear a beep.
- After a few moments, your blood sugar level will appear on the screen. If you see an error code, refer to the error section for help.
- Remove the test strip to power off the meter. Dispose of the used test strip and lancet properly.
