Measurement and storage conditions
Measurement and storage conditions11
So that the meter works reliably and you obtain accu-
rate results, make sure that the conditions listed on
the following pages are met.
11.1 Temperature
For blood glucose tests and performance checks
the temperature must be between +10 and
+40 °C.
If the temperature is at the limits of the permitted
range (between +5 and +10 °C or between +40
and +45 °C), you can still perform a test. The
thermometer symbol will, however, be displayed
(see also Chapter 12.1).
Do not use results obtained at the limits of
the permitted temperature range as a basis
for making therapeutic decisions, as they
could be incorrect. Incorrect results can
cause the wrong therapy recommendation
to be made and so lead to serious adverse
health effects.
