Proper Testing Conditions - Accu-Chek Compact Owner's Booklet

Notes:
• Do not operate without the nose cover attached. For more information, see Chapter 5:
Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
• When applying blood, do not flood the test trip. Only a small blood drop is required.
• Do not bend the test strip.
• Never try to reuse a test strip that has been released from the meter.
• Do not open the test drum compartment when the motor is running.
• After a blood sugar result has been displayed for 60 seconds, the meter turns off automatically.
• If the display goes blank before the test strip is released, press
the strip and turn off the meter.
• Keep the test drum vial until you are finished with the test drum. You'll need to refer
to the numbers on the label when you run a control test.

Proper Testing Conditions

• The temperature range must be between 50-104°F (10-40°C) for accurate results. At temperatures
outside this range, the meter turns off or results are displayed with a thermometer symbol.
Never artificially heat or cool the meter.
• Humidity must be below 85% so that moisture doesn't condense on or inside the meter. If it does, let the
meter return to room temperature and thoroughly dry before turning it on.
