5.2 Measuring the blood sugar value

1 Hold the measuring device so that the display is facing you.

2 Insert a test strip, contacts first, into the unit. Ensure that the front side is facing you.

You can handle any part of the test strip with clean, dry hands.

3 The unit switches on automatically and shows the start display. As soon as the hand

and symbols are flashing, the unit is ready to perform measurements.

4 Hold the blood collection slit (at the point of the test strip)

against the blood droplet. Do not press the puncture site

(fingertip or other body part) against the test strip. The

blood must not be smeared. The blood is sucked into the

slit.

Warning: Hold the blood collection slit of the test strip against the blood droplet

until the slit is completely filled and you hear a beep. Withdrawing the test strip from

the blood droplet before the beep may lead to incorrect measurements.

5 Once the slit is filled with blood, the unit performs the blood sugar measurement. The

measuring device counts down for approx. five seconds. Then the measurement re-

sult is shown in the display.

Read the measured value.

For explanations and corrective measures concerning measured values, see the next

Chapter "Evaluating a blood sugar measured value", page 23.

If an error message is displayed, read the Chapter "Troubleshooting", page 33.

6 Remove the test strip from the unit and dispose of it carefully in accordance with the

applicable guidelines in order to prevent infection of other people.

Note

• If the unit does not begin the measurement, do not subsequently apply more blood.

Instead, remove the test strip and end the test procedure. Start again using a new test

strip.

• If the test strip is already in the unit and you do not put any blood on it within two min-

utes, the unit switches off. Remove the test strip then and reinsert it into the slot, so

that the unit switches on again automatically.

• If you experience difficulties applying blood to the test strip correctly, contact customer

service.

• If you are measuring in a dimly lit room, press the ON/OFF button to switch on the unit.

The test strip area lighting turns on and makes it easier for you to insert the test strip.

In addition, the backlighting turns on for the results display.
