4.7
If the result is outside the confidence limits even though there is no
fault in the instrument, there are various possible causes:
– Please check whether the respective test strip pack contains a flyer
with a separate table of specified values.
– The control material cannot be used because it was not dissolved
or stored properly.
R Use a new bottle.
– The test strips from the current pack have expired prematurely.
This may be because the container was not closed for some time,
and the capacity of the desiccant has been exhausted; the atmos-
pheric moisture or the temperature have spoilt the test strips.
R Use a new pack of test strips.
Use new control material and/or another test to check the perfor-
mance of the system again.
In case of doubt or frequent accuracy problems, please contact the
customer service department of your local Roche Diagnostics sub-
sidiary or your authorized dealer.
