Checking your meter

Notes

The control solution that the test strip draws up must come from

a suspended drop. Do not allow the test strip to draw up control

solution that has trickled down the outside of the dropper, as this

will possibly generate results that are too high.

The meter cannot differentiate between blood and control solu-

tion. If you have set a target range and the performance check

result is outside the set limits,

is displayed and the meter

beeps (only when the beep tone is turned on). Example: The con-

centration range for control solution G1 is 37-67 mg/dL

(2.1-3.7 mmol/L) and the lower limit is set to 70 mg/dL

(3.9 mmol/L).

You can turn on the meter with a test strip or by pressing the Þ

button as for a blood glucose test.

Performance check results that are flagged with a bottle symbol

are ignored during averaging.

You can dispose of empty or only partly used bottles with your

regular household waste.

blood glucose” and 5.4 “Ejecting the test strip”.
