2.5 Inserting or replacing the test strip drum
Use only new test strip drums on which the aluminium foil
(the “silver ends”) is intact on both sides. Your blood glucose
test results may be incorrect if damaged drums are used in
the meter. Incorrect results can cause the wrong therapeutic
decision to be taken and so produce adverse health effects.
i
Handle the test strip drums with extreme care! Only remove a
test strip drum from its container when you intend to use it.
The container protects the aluminium foil on the drum from
damage.
i
When performing a quality control test, you need the list of
expected values given on the peel-off label attached to the test
strip drum container (see Chapter 6 “Checking the Accu-Chek
Integra meter”). You may, for instance, wish to stick the peel-off
label in your notebook or diary. When conducting quality con-
trols always check that the peel-off label with the concentration
table belongs to the test strips that are currently in the meter.
i
Use only Accu-Chek Integra test strip drums. Other test strips
cannot be used to perform measurements.
If you insert a different test strip drum, the
following message will be displayed:
When all the strips have been used, the dot reappears in the control
window.
Insert a new test strip drum.
If you do not insert a new test strip drum, the
following message will be displayed the next time
you turn on the meter:
“End” and the drum symbol flash in the display,
indicating that the drum is empty.
