PROBLEM
Page 42
Possible Cause
The control strip result
is outside of its
acceptable range. This
may be due to a
problem with the
shipment/storage of
the control strips or the
control activation
solution. Plasma on
control strips have a
limited shelf life and
the clotting time will
change when exposed
to temperatures
outside the storage
range.
The temperature of the
room is either below or
above the operating
temperature range of
the meter.
The test strip was
inserted at an incorrect
angle or speed.
There may be a
problem with the wheel
on the strip or with the
meter
A used strip was
inserted.
For In Vitro Diagnostic Use
Solution
Repeat test with
another control strip. If
the second test is out of
range, contact Tech
Support.
Control strips should be
tested immediately
upon receipt of your
shipment of new test
strips as they have a
limited shelf life.
Move the meter to a
place that is within the
operating temperature
range of the meter
(55ºF to 95ºF, 13ºC to
35ºC) and allow meter
time to adjust to correct
temperature. Repeat
testing.
Reinsert the strip
holding the back of the
meter steady with one
hand while inserting the
strip completely using a
quick smooth motion
with the other hand. If
display persists try
again with another strip.
If the message displays
again, contact Tech
Support.
