Error: Test Strip
Interference
The test strip was touched
or removed during the
test.
Solution:
Turn the meter off and
remove the test strip.
Repeat the test using a
new test strip and blood
taken from a new
fingerstick from a
different finger.
Do not touch or remove
the test strip when a test is
in progress.
For meters with serial number UP0910000 and
lower: In rare cases, “error 6” may indicate
extremely high coagulation times (> 10 INR). If
“error 6” is displayed repeatedly, please contact your
doctor without delay.
Notice
This error (6) might also be triggered by high
hematocrit values (above 55 %), or the blood
containing a high concentration of oxidizing
substances, e.g. after a Vitamin C infusion.
