Easy testing
For testing, you do not need to press a single
button. You insert a test strip into the meter, which
switches it on, apply blood to the test strip, read
the value and then pull the test strip out of the
meter.

Blood volume checking
To perform a test, the meter requires 1–2 µL blood
(1 µL (microlitre) = 1 thousandth of a millilitre). The
meter detects if the applied amount is not suf-
cient.

Flagging results
You can ag results with different symbols, which
indicate particular situations during the test.

Memory
The meter automatically saves up to 350 results
with the time and date of the test and all other
information that is important for the test.
Integrated data analysis

From the stored test results your meter can calcu-
late your average values for the last 7, 14 or 30
days.
