Testing blood glucose
The test strips are sensitive to humidity and
moisture. Only remove test strips from the con-
tainer when your hands are completely dry. Close
the test strip container again tightly with its origi-
nal cap immediately after removing a test strip.
The cap of the test strip container contains a
drying agent which protects the strips from mois-
ture. If moisture gets into to the test strip container
through handling test strips with moist hands or if
the container is left open, the drying agent loses its
effect. Unusable test strips may lead to incorrect
results.
If you have not applied blood to the test strip in the
available time and the meter has turned off:
Remove the test strip and dispose of it. Start the
blood glucose test again with a new test strip.
If you have removed the test strip from the meter
and the error message
is displayed: You must
not use this test strip any more even if you have
not yet applied any blood. Start the blood glucose
test again with a new test strip.
