IMPORTANT:
Please read this Addendum; it
contains new information.
What to Do If the
Message Appears
on the Display and the Confirmation Dot
Is Completely Blue
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Blood was applied to the
wrong side of the test
strip, or
2. The test strip was inserted
more than 2 minutes after
applying blood, or
3. You may have a very
high blood glucose level,
possibly exceeding 500
mg/dL.
WHAT TO DO
1. Clean the meter. Repeat
the test with a new test
strip, applying blood to
the pink test square.
2. Repeat the test with a
new test strip. Insert
it within 2 minutes of
applying blood.
3. If the
message
appears, do a visual
check of the color of the
confirmation dot versus
the Color Chart on the
test strip bottle. A color
that matches or is darker
than the 350 mg/dL color
on the chart indicates a
high blood glucose level.
Follow the treatment
advice of your healthcare
professional.
Listed below are several possible causes for the appearance
of an
message when the test strip confirmation dot is
completely blue.
TM
If the
message appears and the confirmation dot is not completely
blue, see the reverse side of this Addendum.
