Forearm
Palm
Available Alternate Sites Testing : Palm and Forearm
TysonBio SUPERB Blood Glucose Monitoring System provides you alternate sites
testing (AST). This system provides you to test on the palm and the forearm with
the equivalent results to fingertip testing.
Alternative site results differ from fingertip results when glucose levels are chang-
ing rapidly such as after a meal, after taking insulin, during exercise, or when you
are ill or under stress.
We strongly recommend you doAST ONLY in the following intervals:
● In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).
● Two hours or more after taking insulin.
● Two hours or more after exercise.
DO NOT use AST if:
● You think your blood glucose is low.
● You are unaware of hypoglycemia.
● Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
● You are testing for hyperglycemia.
● Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.
● If you are pregnant.
There are limitations for doing AST. Please
consult your healthcare professional before
you do AST.

Physiologic differences in the circulation between the finger and other test sites
like the forearm and palm may result in differences in blood glucose measure-
ments from the other test sites and your fingertips. Changes in blood glucose
may be observed in finger blood samples sooner than blood samples from the
forearm and other alternate sites. Rub the alternate test sites about 20 seconds
before lancing. If you are testing for hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), or if you
suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness, we recommend that you test on your
fingertips.
Talk to your doctor to see if alternate site testing is right for you. With a little bit
of education, you can give your fingertips a rest and maybe test more often than
you do now. For people with diabetes, more frequent testing is a good thing.
Just remember: any time you want to be sure of an accurate, up-to-date blood
glucose reading, test on your fingertip.
1.
2.
Low or high blood glucose readings can indicate a potentially serious medical
condition. If your blood glucose reading is unusually low or high, or if you do not
feel the way your reading indicates, repeat the test with a new test strip. If your
reading is not consistent with your symptoms or if your blood glucose result is
less than 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or higher than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L) you
should contact your healthcare professional and follow his or her treatment
advice.
Any change or administer of medication based on the TysonBio SUPERB blood
glucose test results without the consent and advice of a physician or healthcare
professional is not recommended.
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. If
you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult your physician
immediately.

Thank you for choosing the TysonBio SUPERB Blood Glucose Monitoring System,
the latest advancement in biosensor technology. As you already know, Self moni-
toring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a necessary part of the treatment plan for people
with diabetes mellitus. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) has
confirmed the significant benefits from SMBG when practiced as part of a larger
intensive strategy to tightly control blood glucose concentrations.
Adapted for its ease of use and quick response time, the TysonBio SUPERB
System has the ability to process accurate results utilizing only a small volume of
blood for in vitro diagnostics. The TysonBio SUPERB Blood Glucose Monitoring
System is intended for use in the home and in professional settings to monitor
whole blood glucose levels obtained from the fingertip, palm and forearm. This is
an over the counter (OTC) product.
Please read the entire User’s Manual carefully before using this product.
