The check performed at room temperature is used as a general functional check. The operating range
specified in the technical specifications is valid without restriction.
1
Hold the monitor so that the display is facing you.
2
Insert a test strip into the slot on the monitor with the contacts first. Ensure the front of the test
strip is facing you (see “Test strip”, page 13).
3
The device automatically switches on and briefly shows the initial display. The device is ready
for measurement as soon as the hand and the symbol flash.
IMPORTANT:
Control solutions and blood react to temperature influences in di
ff
erent ways.
It is therefore of vital importance that control solution measurement is always performed in
control solution mode. If this mode is not used, results may be obtained that are outside the
target range.
Note
Press the rocker switch “+” or “–”, to change to the control mode. “
” is shown on the dis-
play. This means that the result value is not stored in the memory, therefore not influencing
your measured value statistics. Pressing “+” or “–” again causes “
” to disappear from the
display and the value is stored normally in the memory.
4
A clean surface is required to correctly perform a functional test.
Shake the control solution well before use.
Undo the cap and press two drops next to each other on the
clean surface without touching them. Use the second drop for
the measurement.
Note
Do not apply the drop directly to the test strip to avoid contaminating the remaining control
solution in the bottle by touching the test strip with the tip of the bottle.
5
Hold the input gap (at the tip of the test strip) to the drop of control solution until the gap is
completely filled and the display of the monitor starts counting backwards.
When the gap is su
ffi
ciently filled with solution, the device performs a measurement. The de-
vice counts down for approx. five seconds. The measurement is then shown on the display.
6
Check whether the result is within the specified range of results for the control solution. This
range of results is printed on the test strip box or the test strip packaging or on the informa-
tion sheet included.
Expected results
At room temperature, the measurements from the test using the control solution should be within
the range printed on the test strip box or on the information sheet included with the test strips in film
packaging in approx. 95% of all tests.
Warning
The specified value range (see test strip box or information sheet with the test strips in film packaging)
only applies for the control solution.
This is not a recommended value for your blood glucose level.
