Performing a measurement
59
Preparing to perform a measurement
1 Get the test strip container for the required
measurement.
2 Check the expiration date of the test strip.
Always use test strips before their expiration
date has passed.
3 Make sure the code strip belonging to these
test strips is at hand (unless the instrument has
already been coded with this code strip).
Note: Environmental influences (e.g., air
humidity and light) on the test strips may damage
test strips and lead to false measurements or
error messages.
Do not remove the test strips from the strip
container until immediately before performing a
measurement.
