Testing Blood Glucose - Accu-Chek Compact Reference Manual

5.4

Testing blood glucose

If your blood glucose test result
does not agree with the way you feel,
please contact your doctor and perform
a quality control check with Compact
Control Solutions and a new test strip. If the
message HI is displayed, your blood glucose
result is above 33.3 mmol/L. If the message
LO is displayed, your blood glucose result is
below 0.6 mmol/L. The results obtained will not
be used in statistical calculations (see Chapter 6.1
"Highest value, lowest value, average"). If a
segment is missing from the
display segment test), or if strange characters
appear instead of a proper blood glucose result, the
display is malfunctioning. Please do not run any more
blood tests; contact our Accu-Chek Blood Glucose
Meter Careline (please refer to Chapter 12:
"Customer support and service"). Do not re-use a
test strip that has been completely ejected from the
meter. Do not allow your Accu-Chek Compact
meter to be used by more than one person. To do
so would place all users at risk of infection (see
Chapter 7.2 "Cleaning the meter").
Keep the test strip away from skin unless
you are touching it against blood or control
solution. Do not bend the test strip, or
an error message will be displayed.

If you hold down the ON/OFF button for a
few seconds when you turn the meter on,
you can perform a full segment check.
Do this to verify that all of the display
segments are properly displayed.
Retain the vial in which the test strip drums
came until you have used up the last test
strips. When performing a quality control
test, refer to the list of expected values
printed on the vial.
Accu-Chek Compact turns off automatically
after 5 minutes of non-use. After a blood
glucose test result has been displayed,
the meter turns off automatically after
60 seconds.
Please dispose of used test strips with your
regular household waste.
