Measurement and storage conditions
11.3 Humidity
Only test blood glucose at a relative humidity of between 20 % and
85 %.
Keep the meter and finger pricker at a relative humidity of between
20 % and 85 %.
Sudden changes in temperature cause condensation to form in or
on the meter. If this happens, do not turn the meter on. Make
sure that it returns to ambient temperature slowly. Never keep it
in a room that is likely to harbour condensation (e.g. a bathroom).
11.4 Local sources of interference
Strong electromagnetic fields may interfere with the proper oper-
ation of the meter. Do not use the meter in close to sources of
strong electromagnetic radiation.
To avoid electrostatic discharge, do not use the meter in a very
dry environment, especially one in which synthetic materials are
present.
