New test strip drums where the aluminium foil (the silver ends) is
damaged cannot be used. Your blood glucose results may be
incorrect if you use a damaged drum. Incorrect results can cause
the wrong therapeutic decision to be taken and so produce
adverse health effects.
Only open the drum compartment cover when the meter is turned
off and the motor is not running. Opening the drum compartment
cover when the meter is turned on may result in damage to the
meter.
Handle the test strip drums with care! Only remove a test strip
i
drum from its container when you intend to use it. The container
protects the aluminium foil on the drum from damage.
There is a label on every drum container. The left portion may be
i
peeled off. On it is the concentration table for the Accu-Chek
Compact Plus Glucose Control 2 control solution. The stated
concentrations are valid only for the test strips contained in this
drum. You need this table for the control test of your meter (see
Chapter 7). You may, for instance, wish to stick the peel-off label
in your notebook or diary. When conducting a control test, always
check that the peel-off label with the concentration table belongs
to the test strip drum that is currently in the meter.
