3. Running a test - Lipid
Test Procedure
1. Prepare a lipid test strip for the required measurement.
2. Hold the lipid test strip with thumb and index finger so that the upper lipid test strip is
facing upwards.
Check the following displays before performing the measurement:
1. Are date and time correct?
2. Does the battery symbol appear? If it appears, only a few more measurements can be
performed. Replace the batteries as soon as possible.
3. Check the expiration date of the lipid test strip. Always use lipid test strips which are
not expired.
4. Check the code number on the analyzer. Ensure it matches the code number on the
printed pouch or a package.
5. With lipid and glucose test strips, check the reaction area for discolouration before
starting measurement. If you detect discolouration, this test strip is unusable.
