4.1 Plausible results
Your Accu-Chek Integra meter measures blood glucose within a defined
range (0.6-33.3 mmol/L).
Values below this range are displayed as:
Your blood glucose result is below 0.6 mmol/L.
Values above this range are displayed as:
Your blood glucose result is above 33.3 mmol/L.
These values are not used for statistical calculations (see Chapter 5.3
“Highest value, lowest value, average”).
If the test result agrees with the way you feel, follow your
doctor’s advice. If the way you feel does not agree with this
test result, please perform a quality control check with the
Accu-Chek Integra Control solution and a new test strip. Repeat
the blood glucose test. If you feel the new result is also implaus-
ible please consult your doctor.
4.2 Implausible results
If your meter repeatedly displays error messages, or if you have reason
to doubt the validity of a test result, please check the following points.
Did you perform the test as directed (see Chapter 4 “Testing blood
glucose”)?
Did you wait for the flashing hand symbol and blood drop symbol
to appear before applying blood?
Did you wash your hands with warm water and soap to improve the
blood flow and to remove any residues, e.g. of food, drink or skin
cream? Did you dry your hands well?
Did you just gently squeeze your fingertip to develop the drop of
blood?
Did you apply blood to the test strip without delay after the blood
drop was formed?
Did you perform the test within the correct temperature range
(+10 °C to +40 °C)?
Did you use a test strip drum whose 90-day “use-by” period has
not expired (see Chapter 2.5 “Inserting or replacing the test strip
drum”)?
Did you observe the proper storage conditions for the meter and
test strip drum (see Chapter 8 “Measurement and storage condi-
tions” and the package insert that came with the test strip drum)?
If you have checked these points and still receive error messages or
doubt the validity of results, please contact Customer Support (see
Chapter 19 for details).
