Sufficient blood sample
Make sure your blood sample covers the whole area of
the view window to get an accurate test result. An
insufficient blood sample will result in an error message
("Er4"). If this occurs, repeat the test with a new test strip.
CAUTION
- Check the expiration date printed on the strip vial every time you use a test strip. Do not use expired GE200
Blood Glucose Test Strips.
- Use each GE200 Blood Glucose Test Strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
- Do not reuse GE200 Blood Glucose Test Strips.
- Do not perform testing immediately after moving from one ambient temperature to another (e.g. after coming
indoors from the outside). Allow 30 minutes for the temperature of the meter and the test strips to equilibrate.
- Apply the blood sample only on the sample port of the test strip.
Blood glucose test results are shown on the GE200 Blood Glucose Meter as mmol/L.
If your blood glucose result is unusually high or low, or if you question your test results, repeat the test with a new
GE200 Blood Glucose Test Strip.
You can also run a Quality Control Test with the GE200 Control Solutions to check your GE200 Blood Glucose Meter
and GE200 Test Strip (Refer to “Performing a Quality Control Test” on page 40) .
If the test result still remains unusually high or low, contact your healthcare professional immediately.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose test results and you have made
sure to follow all instructions in this manual, contact your healthcare professional immediately.
Follow local regulations or consult your health care provider for appropriate disposal of used test strips and lancets.
