Getting to know the blood glucose monitoring system
The main features
• Short testing time
The meter needs only approximately 5 seconds
for each test.
• Testing without pressing buttons
For testing, you do not need to press a single
button.
• Additional dosing option
To perform a test, the meter requires 1–2 µL
blood (1 µL (microlitre) = 1 thousandth of a
millilitre). The meter detects if the amount of
blood is insufficient, and more blood can be
applied.
• Marking test results
You can mark test results with different symbols
which indicate particular situations during the
test.

30 and 90 days.
• Data transfer

You can apply blood to the test strip while the
