If you have performed the test with Accutrend
®
Glucose, carry out a colour comparison to check
plausibility:
a) turn over the test strip;
b) compare the colour in the round window with the
colour scale on the label. The colour in the round
window should approximately match the colour
shown for the result you have obtained.
Close the flap and turn off the meter.
The performance check can, of course, also be carried out as
described above with the control solution for cholesterol. In
this case no colour comparison is performed.
N.B.:
1. The instrument may switch itself off before you have insert-
ed the test strip if no button has been pressed for about 60
seconds. If this happens, switch the Accutrend
®
GC back on
and start again.
2. You may have to clean Accutrend
®
GC after practising (for
example, if the measuring optics have become soiled).
In this case please refer to Section 5.2 and proceed as
described there.
