Preparing for a Test
1. Gather Items Gather the following items:
• CoaguChek XS Meter
• Container of test strips
• Test strip code chip
• CoaguChek lancet
Each box of test strips comes
with a matching code chip. Every
time you open a new box of test
strips, you must replace the
code chip.
2. Match Codes Make sure the code number
on the test strip container and
the code chip match.
4. Wash Hands Have the patient wash his or
her hands in warm, soapy
water. Or, clean the fingertip
with an alcohol wipe.
Make sure the fingertip is
thoroughly dry.
3. Insert Code Chip Make sure the meter is turned
off. With the code number
facing up, insert the code chip
into the code chip slot until it
snaps into place.
