Initial steps before testing 2
2.3 Insertingthersttestcassette
If your meter is brand new and unused, it does not
contain a test cassette.
Please read the test cassette package insert. It
contains important information on storage and
possible causes of incorrect results, for ex-
ample.
If the foil-sealed packaging is damaged, you
must not use the test cassette. Otherwise, there
is a risk that you might obtain incorrect results.
Incorrect results can cause the wrong therapy
recommendation to be made and thus produce
serious adverse health effects.
Only remove the test cassette from its pack-
aging when you want to insert it into the meter.
The unopened packaging protects the test cas-
sette against damage and moisture.
i
Insert the very rst test cassette in the meter
before you remove the protective strip from the
batteries and start using the meter.
i
A table is printed on the test cassette box which
shows the permitted results for control tests
(checking the meter with glucose control solu-
tion). The meter automatically checks whether
the result of a control test is correct. If you wish
to check the result yourself as well, you can do
this with this table. Keep the test cassette box in
case you need it for this purpose. Please note
that the table is only valid for the test cassette
that comes in this box. For test cassettes from
other boxes, other tables apply.
