This section provides information on testing your blood glucose with your meter.
Before using your Dario™ for the first time, we recommend to verify that the system
gives accurate results. Check the performance of your glucose meter by following
the
Checking Your Glucose Meter With Dario™ Control Solutions on page 20
and
Checking the Glucose Meter With the Check Strip on page 25
.
Do not use the system if control solution result is out of range.
The glucose meter in Dario™ measures the amount of glucose in your blood. Once
placing a small drop of blood from your fingertip onto the test strip, the result will
be displayed in six (6) seconds.
Carefully read and follow the instructions provided in this chapter and in the
package inserts for the test strips and control solutions. It is very important to
follow the instructions in order to prevent an incorrect result or improper treatment.
Do not put any fluid into the test strip port.
Once you start your Dario™ app, follow the prompts on the screen.
