Error: Test Strip Expired
The inserted code chip
and the corresponding
test strip are beyond the
expiry date.
Always confirm that the
inserted code chip
matches the number on
the label of the test strip
container in use (see
page 31).
Solution:
• Check whether the date
setting is correct in the
meter. If it is not, set the
correct date (see the
chapter Setting the Date
and Time starting on
page 19 to set up date
and time correctly).
• Check whether the
number of the inserted
code chip matches the
number on the test strip
container currently in
use. If it does not, insert
the correct code chip
belonging to this (not
expired) test strip lot.
• If the error persists,
turn the meter off,
remove the code chip
and test strip. Use a
test strip from a new
lot and insert the code
chip that came with
the new lot. Ensure
you are not using
expired test strips.
