The Vtrust TD-4279 is a blood glucose and beta-ketone monitoring system designed for in vitro diagnostic use by diabetics at home and healthcare professionals.
Indications
This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by diabetics at home and healthcare professionals in clinical settings as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes and beta-ketone control.
The system is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh fingerstick whole blood samples.
Professionals may use the system to test capillary, venous, and arterial blood samples; home use is recommended. Limited to capillary whole blood testing.
Directions for Use and Dosage
Before using the meter for the first time or when changing the battery, you should check and update the settings.
Blood Glucose Testing
The meter offers 4 measurement modes: General, Ac, Pc, and Qc. You can switch between these modes: start with the meter off. Insert a test strip to turn on the device. The screen will display a flashing drop symbol and 'Gen'. Press the button to switch from General to Ac, Pc, and Qc modes.
Beta-Ketone Testing
The meter offers only one measurement mode: "Gen." Start with the meter turned off. Insert a test strip to turn on the device. The screen will display a flashing drop symbol and 'Gen'.
Control Solution Testing
Control solutions contain a small amount of sodium chloride. Note glucose or beta-ketones reacting with the test strips and are used to ensure that the meter and strips are working properly.
Test with control solutions when:
- using the meter for the first time;
- at least once a week to regularly check the test strips and meter;
- starting using a new vial of test strips;
- suspecting that the strips or meter are not working properly;
- blood glucose test results are not consistent with the patient's feelings or the results are thought to be inaccurate;
- to practice testing;
- if the meter has been dropped or damaged; damaged.
Strips, control solutions, a lancing device, or sterile lancets may not be included in the kit (please check the contents on the product packaging). They can be purchased separately. Make sure you have all the necessary items to perform a blood glucose or beta-ketone test in advance.
It is recommended to perform the control solution test at room temperature (20-25°C). Before performing the test, make sure the control solutions, meter, and test strips are within this specified temperature range.
Insert the test strip into the meter to turn it on. Wait for the device to display the test strip and blood drop symbol.
Press the button to mark the test as a control solution test. When 'Qc' is displayed, the meter will store the test result in memory under 'Qc'. If you press the button again, 'Qc' will disappear and the test will no longer be a control solution test. When testing with control solution, you must mark it so that the test result is not confused with the results of stored blood glucose tests. Otherwise, the blood glucose test results will be mixed with the control solution test results. Shake the control solution bottle before use. Discard the first drop and apply the second drop to the tip of the bottle cap. Touch the drop to the absorbent hole of the test strip inserted in the meter. Once the confirmation window on the strip is completely filled, the device will begin the countdown. To avoid contaminating the control solution, do not apply it directly to a test strip. After counting down to 0, the control solution test result appears on the display. Compare the result to the range printed on the test strip vial: the result should fall within this range. If not, please read the instructions again and repeat the test with control solution.
The control solution range printed on the test strip vial refers only to the control solution. It does not refer to the glucose or beta-ketone levels in your blood.
Testing with blood
To reduce the risk of infection:
- Never share a lancet or lancing device;
- Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only;
- Avoid using hand lotion, oils, dirt, or residue on the lancets and lancing device.
Massaging the puncture site before drawing blood to stimulate blood flow has a significant impact on the blood glucose reading. Blood drawn from an unmassaged site has a significantly different glucose concentration than blood drawn from a massaged finger.
Before starting, wash and dry your hands. Select the puncture site on your fingertip. Clean the puncture site with a cotton swab moistened with 70% alcohol and let it air dry. Massage the puncture site for about 20 seconds before pricking your finger.
Press the tip of the lancing device firmly against the underside of your fingertip. Press the button to prick your finger; A click indicates that the fingerstick is complete. Choose a different fingerstick site each time you test. Repeated pricking at the same site may cause pain and calluses. It is recommended to discard the first drop of blood.
Insert the test strip into the meter to turn it on. Wait for the device to display the test strip and drop symbol. Select the desired measurement mode by pressing 'M'.
Use the adjusted lancing device to perform the fingerstick. Discard the first drop of blood using a clean cotton swab. The minimum amount of blood the meter requires is 0.5 microliters (mcl) for glucose and 1 mcl for beta-ketones. Gently press the puncture site to obtain another drop of blood. Do not press the puncture site against the test strip. Be careful not to smear the blood sample.
Draw the drop of blood from the absorbent channel of the test strip. The confirmation window should be completely filled if enough sample has been applied. Do not remove your finger until you hear a beep.
If you do not apply a blood sample to the test strip within 3 minutes, the meter will automatically turn off. You must remove and reinsert the test strip to start a new test.
The confirmation window must be filled with blood before the device begins the countdown. Never try to add more blood to the test strip after it has already been applied. Discard the used test strip and perform another test with a new strip. If you have trouble filling the confirmation window, please contact your doctor or Customer Service for assistance.
Your blood test result will be confirmed. The display will appear after the device counts down to zero. The results will be stored automatically.
Eject the strip by pressing the eject button on the side. The device will automatically turn off after the strip is ejected.
Used lancets and strips are a biohazard. Please dispose of them carefully according to local regulations.
Warnings
Use the device only for its intended use as described in the user manual.

Do not use the device if it is not working properly or if it is damaged.
This device is not intended to treat symptoms or diseases. The measured data is for reference only. Always consult your doctor when interpreting results.
Before using the device to perform a blood glucose test, carefully read all instructions and practice performing the test. Perform all quality control checks as directed.
Keep the device and blood glucose testing materials out of the reach of children. Small objects such as the battery cover, batteries, test strips, lancets, and vial caps pose a choking hazard.
Use this device in a dry environment; the presence of synthetic materials (synthetic clothing, carpets, etc.) in particular can cause harmful electrostatic discharges, which may cause incorrect results.
Do not use the meter near Avoid exposure to sources of strong electromagnetic radiation, as these may interfere with proper operation.
