Test Processing
Ensure the meter is set up properly, as described in previous sections. Turn
the meter on. The screen will briefly display all of the LCD symbols.
Observe the LCD at startup to ensure all segments and display elements are
turned on. There should be no missing icons or elements. The meter will
briefly show a blank display. Ensure that there are no segments or icons
permanently turned on.
After startup, the Initial Screen will be displayed. Ensure the code chip is
inserted. Compare the number showed in the display with the code number
printed on the foil pouch. Refer to Initial Setup. The test device symbol
will flash when the meter is ready for the device to be inserted.
Check that the specimen type displayed on the meter LCD is the same as the
specimen type being tested. If not, set the correct specimen type. Refer to
Section 5 Specimen Type Set Up.
