   • The device is now calibrated and ready for the specific test.
     
     
3. Remove the Code Chip:
   • Press the top button to eject the code chip. The device will automatically power off.

1. Insert the Test Strip:
   • Insert the corresponding test strip for the desired measurement (Ketone, Lactate, Uric Acid, Total Cholesterol, or Glucose) into the device. This will power on the device and display the relevant parameter on the screen:
     • "GLU" for glucose
     • "KET" for ketone
     • "CHOL" for total cholesterol
     • "UA" for uric acid
     • "LAC" for lactate
       
       
2. Obtain a Blood Sample:
   • Use a sterile lancet to puncture the fingertip or chosen site.
   • Wipe off the first drop of blood and gently squeeze the site to obtain another drop.
   • Apply the blood sample to the absorbent hole of the test strip at a tilted angle. Ensure the confirmation window on the strip is completely filled.
     
     Important Notes:
     • Do not smear the blood sample.
     • Always apply the blood sample after inserting the test strip.
     • If no blood is applied within 3 minutes, the device will automatically turn off. Remove and reinsert the test strip to restart the test.
     • Never add additional blood to the test strip once testing has begun. Discard the used strip and start a new test if required.
       
       
3. Wait for the Results:
   
   • The device will count down to 0 (times vary by test type) and display the results on the screen:
     • Glucose: ~5 seconds
     • Ketone: ~10 seconds
     • Total Cholesterol: ~60 seconds
     • Uric Acid: ~15 seconds
     • Lactate: ~5 seconds

       Note: The device transmits one reading per session. To transfer another reading, turn off the device and repeat the process.

Important Notice:
After performing a blood test with the Multi-Functional Monitoring System, the specific measurement (e.g., ketone, glucose, uric acid, total cholesterol, lactate) can be transferred and saved in the ePokratis MedAiConnect app upon request. Once the transfer is complete, all data stored in the device's memory will be automatically deleted.

This deletion process applies in two cases:

1. Transferring the latest reading immediately after a blood test.
2. Retrieving stored measurements from the device's memory—in this case, the most recent stored reading for each selected category within the app (ketone, glucose, uric acid, total cholesterol, lactate) will be fetched before all data is deleted.

Please note that the transfer time may increase if multiple measurements are stored in the device. To optimize performance and ensure quicker future transfers, the device’s memory is cleared after each successful transfer, keeping the system ready for new readings.

1. Bluetooth Pairing Request:
   • If the Bluetooth Pairing Request pop-up appears on your mobile phone as shown in the picture below, it means the medical device is prompting you to pair (this is generally expected to take place once).
2. Locate the Six-Digit Pairing Code:
   • Find the six-digit Bluetooth pairing code located on the back of the medical device.
   • The code corresponds to the last six digits of the device's serial number, excluding the final checksum digit (which may be alphanumeric, A-Z or 0-9).
3. Enter the Pairing Code:
   • Enter the six-digit code displayed on the back of the device into your mobile phone when prompted.
4. Successful Pairing:
   • Once the code is entered, the Bluetooth pairing will be successfully established.
