2.5 Inserting or replacing the test strip drum
When you insert a new drum the number of days the drum has been in
the meter is counted automatically. Each drum must be used up within a
90-day use-by period.
After 90 days the date, the drum symbol and “CTRL”
flash in the display.
The drum has been in the meter for 90 days. You are asked to perform
a quality control test in order to check the test strips. Carry out a quality
control check (see Chapter 6 “Checking the Accu-Chek Integra meter”).
If the measurement produces the correct results, you may continue to
use the test strips. If the results are incorrect, you need to insert a new
drum.
Following the quality control check, “CTRL” disappears from the display.
The drum symbol and the date continue to flash in order to draw atten-
tion to the fact that the drum has been in use for more than 90 days.
The meter is unable to calculate the 90-day use-by period if you
remove a partly used drum from the meter and then insert it again,
change the batteries and leave a partly used drum in the meter.
The meter has no way of telling when the drum was first inserted or
how long the partly used drum has already been in the meter.
The drum symbol and “CTRL” flash in the display.
You are asked to perform a quality control test in order to check the test
strips. Carry out a quality control check (see Chapter 6 “Checking the
Accu-Chek Integra meter”). If the measurement produces the correct
results, you may continue to use the test strips. If the results are incor-
rect, you need to insert a new drum. Following the quality control check,
“CTRL” disappears from the display. The drum symbol continues to flash
in order to draw attention to the fact that the meter cannot calculate the
use-by period.

If you insert a partly used drum in the meter, a dot appears in
the control window on its reverse side. When you then next turn
on the meter, it rotates the drum until it finds the first chamber
containing a test strip. The lower the number of test strips in
the drum, the longer the process takes. The control window
allows you to see the drum being rotated from one chamber to
the next.
