What It Means

What To Do

The blood sample 

has abnormally 

high viscosity or 

insufficient volume.

Repeat the test after 

inserting a new test strip. 

A non-CareSens 

LINK test strip was 

used. 

Test strip was not 

inserted properly.

Repeat the test with a 

CareSens LINK test strip.

Insert a test strip with the 

contacting bars facing 

upwards and push in gently 

until the meter beeps.

There is a problem 

with the meter.

Do not use the meter.

Contact your authorized

i-SENS sales 

representative.

If  the  error  messages  persist,  contact  your  authorized  i-SENS 

sales representative.

Problem

Troubleshooting

 Check whether the test strip is 

inserted with the contact bars facing 

up. Check if the strip has been 

inserted completely till the end. 

 Check whether the batteries are 

inserted with the ‘+’ side facing up. 

Replace the batteries. 

The display is blank 

even after inserting a 

test strip. 

 Check if the confirmation window is 

filled adequately. 

 Repeat the test after inserting a new 

test strip. 

The test does not start 

even after applying the 

blood sample on the 

strip. 

• 

Repeat the test after inserting a new 

test strip.  

 Check the validity period of the test 

strip. 

 Check if the strip has passed the 

discard date (date of opening the test 

strip vial plus 6 months).

 Check the meter.

The test result 

doesn’t match your 

expectation.

If the problem is not resolved, please contact your authorized 

i-SENS sales representative.
