The hypo indicator cannot distinguish between blood and control
solution. If you have set a hypo indicator and use control solution
G1 you may see
hypo?
flashing on the display. This means that
the reading for the control solution is below the blood glucose
level you have set for the hypo indicator. Example: The concen-
tration range of control solution G1 is 2.1 – 3.7 mmol/L
(37-67 mg/dL) and the level set for the hypo indicator is
3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL).
Take care not to bend the test strip either before or during ap-
plication of control solution. Do not bend or move the test strip
while the test is in progress.
If you do bend or move the strip, it may produce an incorrect re-
sult, or you may see the following error message:
If this happens, press the Test button to turn the meter off
and allow the test strip to drop out. Repeat the quality control
check with a new test strip.
If the result is outside the stated range, perform a second quality control
check. If the result of this second test is outside the concentration range
as well, please check the following points:
Did you perform the quality control check as described above?
Did you wait for the flashing test strip symbol and blood drop
symbol to appear before applying control solution?
Did you wipe the tip of the dropper before you applied control solu-
tion to the surface of the washable object?
Did you compare the result with the concentration table specifically
belonging to the control solution you used? Does the concentration
table belong to the test strips you are using?
Did you perform the test within the correct temperature range
(+10 °C to +40 °C)?
Did you use a test strip drum whose 90-day use-by period has
not expired (see Chapter 2.5 “Inserting or replacing the test strip
drum”)?
Did you observe the proper storage conditions for the meter, the test
strip drum and the control solution (see Chapter 9 “Measurement
and storage conditions” and the package inserts that came with the
test strip drum and control solutions)?
