how to carry out the test
1.
Feed the test strip into the test strip opening with the contacts first
and the device display facing you (
see Fig. 17
). You should ensure
that the test strip is firmly located in the device to achieve exact
measured results. The device switches itself on automatically. All
digits in the display will light up briefly. After this, the surrounding
temperature, the symbol and the code number are displayed.
You should code your device (
see Page 13
) if the code number
shown in the display is not the same as the code number on the
test strip container.
2.
Use the pricking aid to obtain a rounded blood drop of at least 2
microlitres. When the symbol flashes in the display, apply the
blood drop to the absorption window on the test strip at the location
where the window and gap meet (
Fig. 18
). Do not press your finger
against the test strip, and do not apply smeared samples.
3.
The control window in the test strip must be completely filled with
blood before the device can start the countdown. If the control win-
dow is not completely filled with blood (
Fig. 19
) and the device
starts the measuring process, do not apply more blood subsequently.
