Using the Built-in Meter
The Reader has a built-in meter that can be used to test your blood
glucose and blood ketone, or to test the meter and strips with control
solution.
WARNING: Do NOT use the built-in meter while the Reader is
connected to an electrical outlet or a computer.
IMPORTANT:
• Use the Reader within the test strip operating temperature
range as blood glucose and ketone results obtained outside
the range may be less accurate.
• Use only FreeStyle Optium test strips.
• Use a test strip immediately after removing from its foil
packet.
• Only use a test strip once.
• Do not use expired test strips as they may cause inaccurate
results.
• Do not use a wet, bent, scratched, or damaged test strip.
• Do not use the test strip if the foil packet has a hole or is torn.
• Results from the built-in meter are shown only in your
Logbook and not in other history options.
• Refer to your lancing device instructions for use for how to
use your lancing device.
