Control Testing and Quality Control
149
The hourglass icon appears as the meter
begins to process the sample. For better
control over the measurement process, you
should always confirm this yourself, instead
of waiting for the meter to detect the sample.
13 After you confirm that the sample has
been applied, or if the meter automatically
recognises that the sample has been
applied, the button disappears.
The hourglass icon spins until the sample has
been detected and the test begins.
Unlike regular tests, this procedure can be
very short and therefore might not be dis-
played (especially in case of a lack of or delay
in confirmation, see step 12).
The time remaining for the test is displayed.
Measurement time:
The time needed to run a test depends on the
test parameter (refer to package insert for
details). Typically, 8 to 12 minutes are
required.
