Glucose 

meter

The miniature glucose meter has:

· An audio connector that is 

plugged into the headphone 

socket of the smart mobile device

· A strip port for insertion of the 

test strip.

The glucose meter receives its 

power from the mobile device and 

does not require batteries or any 

other electrical source. When not in 

use, the meter snaps into its slot in 

the housing for protected storage.

Lancing 

Device and 

Cover

The lancing device is built into the 

housing and uses disposable Dario™ 

lancets. The lancing device cover 

prevents the user from unintentional 

punctures. Lancets are changed for 

each use. Puncture depth may be 

adjusted, by removing the cover and 

moving the depth selection dial. The 

cover is then put back on for use.

The lancing device is activated by 

sliding it with two fingers until it 

clicks and then pressing the release 

button. Instructions on using the 

lancing device are included in 

Performing a Glucose Test on

Test Strip 

Cartridge 

Each test strip cartridge holds 25 

strips. The cartridge snaps into the 

modular Dario™ housing.
