Measurement does not start, despite drawing up blood and
Test TIP is again applied to the blood sample.
If you move the Test TIP away from blood sample during draw-up of blood sample,
and apply Test TIP again, air may come into the Test TIP and correct measurement
result cannot be taken. After replacing the Test TIP with a new one, obtain a
sufficient amount of blood and take measurement again. (Do not move Test TIP
away during draw-up of blood sample until you hear a beep).
You squeezed the puncture site using excessive pressure.
The transparent intracellular fluid from the subcutaneous tissue is squeezed out as
well and is mixed with blood. This can lead to incorrect measurement results. In
this case, please change the lancing depth indicator to a deeper lancing depth
(see page 20).
Some time has elapsed since you removed the film-seal of
Test TIP.
Membrane in the Test TIP has absorbed moisture from the air, which can affect the
measurement result. Please use the Test TIP immediately after opening the film-seal.
