Announcement of Test Result by Universal
Tone
The blood glucose results will be broken down into individual
digits and each digit represents the corresponding number
of beeps.
The result is announced three times in succession and each
time is preceded by two quick beeps. So you will hear: 2
quick beeps – results – 2 quick beeps – results – 2 quick
beeps – result.
For mg/dL meters, the hundreds are always announced, even
when the result is below 100.
Examples:
80 mg/dL is announced as 1 long beep (0) – 1 single pause –
8 single beeps (8) – 1 single pause – 1 long beep (0)
182 mg/dL is announced as 1 single beep (1) – 1 single pause
– 8 single beeps (8) – 1 single pause – 2 single beeps (2)
For mmol/L meters, the tens are always announced, even
when the result is below 10. The decimal point is represented
by 1 quick beep.
Examples:
6.0 mmol/L is announced as 1 long beep (0) – 1 single pause
– 6 single beeps (6) – 1 single pause – 1 quick beep (.) – 1
single pause – 1 long beep (0)
Note:
Information or warnings in the form of symbols displayed
together with the results are not announced acoustically.
