Notes
Do not touch the test strip unless you are drawing up blood with
it. Residues (e.g. of food, drinks, or skin cream) on the skin can
find their way onto the strip and may produce incorrect results.
Incorrect results can cause the wrong therapeutic decision to be
taken and so produce adverse health effects.
Take care not to bend the test strip either before or while you
draw up blood. Do not bend or move the test strip while the test
is in progress. Bending or moving the test strip can produce an
incorrect result or cause error message E-5 (see Chapter 12.2) to
be displayed.
Allowing the test strip to draw up blood too early, i.e. before the
test strip symbol and drop symbol flash, can produce an incorrect
result or cause error message E-5 (see Chapter 12.2) to be
displayed.
Turn the meter off with the Test button so as to eject the test strip
(see Chapter 4.4), and dispose of the test strip. Repeat the blood
glucose test with a new test strip.
