Initial steps before testing
New test strip drums where the aluminium foil (the silver ends) is
damaged cannot be used. Your blood glucose results may be
incorrect if you use a damaged drum. Incorrect results can cause
the wrong therapeutic decision to be taken and so produce
adverse health effects.
Only open the drum compartment cover when the meter is turned
off and the motor is not running. Opening the drum compartment
cover when the meter is turned on may result in damage to the
meter.

Handle the test strip drums with care! Only remove a test strip
drum from its container when you intend to use it. The container
protects the aluminium foil on the drum from damage.
i
There is a label on every drum container. The left portion may be
peeled off. On it is the concentration table for the Accu-Chek
Compact Autocontrol control solutions. The stated concentrations
are valid only for the test strips contained in this drum. You need
this table for the performance check of your meter (see Chapter
7). You may, for instance, wish to stick the peel-off label in your
notebook or diary. When conducting a performance check,
always check that the peel-off label with the concentration table
belongs to the test strip drum that is currently in the meter.
