Dear Embrace™Owner
Embrace N0 Code
Dear Embrace™Owner,
Thank you for choosing the Embrace No Code Blood Glucose Monitor-
ing System to help you manage your diabetes. We designed the Em-
brace No Code Blood Glucose Monitoring System to be accurate and
easy to use. The added convenience of the bi-lingual talking feature
can be used as a verbal aid for using the meter. This manual contains
all of the information needed to use and maintain your new blood glu-
cose meter. Please read it carefully before use.
Your Embrace No Code Blood Glucose Monitoring System provides an
easy and precise way to measure blood glucose using fresh capillary
whole blood taken from fingertips, palm, or forearm. The added con-
venience of auto-coding can help reduce the chance of inaccurate read-
ings caused by incorrect coding of the meter. Testing is done outside
the body (in vitro diagnostic use). The test results are plasma-cali-
brated for easy comparison to lab results. The Embrace No Code Blood
Glucose Monitoring System is a portable battery operated meter in-
tended for use as an aid by persons with diabetes and by health care
professionals to monitor glucose concentration in whole blood.
If you have questions or simply need more information, please call our
authorized representative by using the information printed on the box or
visit our website at www.omnishealth.com. Thank you again for choos-
ing the Embrace No Code Blood Glucose Monitoring System.

The Embrace No Code Blood Glucose Test Strip
The Embrace Test Strips are glucose specific, biosensor-based test
strips that requires very little blood sample to quickly test glucose in
fresh capillary whole blood. The test results are plasma-calibrated for
an easy comparison to lab results, but maybe 10 to 15% higher then re-
sults obtained from whole-blood referenced blood glucose analysis.
The test strip is also equipped with under-fill detection to alert you when
there is not enough blood to perform a test, so you can be assured that
each reading you get is an accurate and meaningful result.
IMPO TANT:
• Immediately close the vial cap of the test strip bottle tightly after each
use. Keep unused test strips in their original bottle. DO NOT leave
any test strips outside the bottle while not in use.
• DO NOT reuse test strips. Test strips are for single use only.
• Carefully discard used test strips and lancets in proper waste con-
tainers.
