Test Strip Drum Use-By Period - Accu-Chek COMPACT PLUS User Manual

2.3.1 Test strip drum use-by period

When you insert a new drum into the meter, the meter starts to count
the number of days the drum is in the meter. Each drum must be used
within a 90-day use-by period.
Once a drum has been in the meter for 90 days, its use-by period has
expired. The next time you turn the meter on to perform a test, the drum
symbol, bottle symbol and clock symbol are displayed to highlight the
fact.
Insert a new test strip drum.
Note
The test strips in this drum cannot be used. You must not use
these test strips as they may produce incorrect results. Incorrect
results can cause the wrong therapeutic decision to be taken and
so produce serious adverse health effects.
