Troubleshooting Checks Action
1. Were the test strips expired? Discard the test strips if they are past the use by date.
Repeat the blood glucose test with an unexpired test
strip.
2. Was the cap on the test strip container
closed tightly?
Replace the test strips if you think the test strip
container was uncapped for some time. Repeat the
blood glucose test.
3. Was the test strip used immediately after
it was removed from the test strip
container?
Repeat the blood glucose test with a new test strip.
4. Were the test strips stored in a cool, dry
place?
Repeat the blood glucose test with a properly stored
test strip.
5. Did you follow the directions? See Chapter 2, Blood Glucose Tests, and repeat the
blood glucose test. Contact Roche if you still have
problems.
6. Are the meter and test strips working
properly?
Perform a control test. See Chapter 4, Performing a
Control Test, for instructions.
