you can leave the meter in the case when measuring. All functions are
easily accessible when in the case. the lancing device has a fixed place
in the pouch and can be used inside and outside of the pouch. the test
strip vial is safely secured against falling out.
After 3 minutes of inactivity, the device shuts off entirely.
to switch it on again, remove the unused test strip and reinsert it.
no. For safety reasons, the used measurement unit is fixed.
no.
yes. After the last reading or before the first reading, the calculated
average levels are displayed consecutively for 7, 30 and 90 days.
the test strip ejector enables a safe and hygienic removal of the strip,
without having to touch the end of the test strip which is contaminated
with blood. this is particularly important if a third party does the
measuring.
recharging empty batteries with the PC connection cable is not possible.
if the battery symbol lights up, you should put in two new 3V lithium
batteries type Cr2032.
replace the blood glucose meter with a new device after a maximum of
5000 tests (roughly corresponds 2,5 years with 5 measurements a day)
or 5 years after first use at the latest.
remove the batteries and send these for recycling according to local
provisions. used meters can be soiled with blood and must therefore be
discarded according to the different local regulations for disposal of
contaminated medical devices.
thanks to the target level function you can see instantly how much
the measurement result differs from what it is supposed to be.
