Conducting the Test

• Place the meter on a flat, stable
surface during testing or hold it in
your hand and
movements.
Once the chip is inserted, the meter
will conduct a sequence of automatic
steps to execute the on-board quality
controls that lead to the chip warming-
up. An error message will be displayed
if the Level 1 onboard control has not
been successful.

details or follow the steps set forth in
the Troubleshooting section (see section 6).
If level one of the on-board control is successful:
• The chip will begin to flash and heat up until it reaches the testing
temperature. After this:
- The device emits an audible signal (if enabled).
- An 80-s countdown and the "Apply sample" message are displayed.
- The chip emits a steady light.
• Apply the control sample to the chip. Always follow EQA instructions.
• The meter displays a "Sample detected" message, emits a beep (if
enabled) and the countdown disappears once the sample has been
detected.
• It is then time to gently remove the capillary dropper and wait until the
result is displayed on the screen.
If the sample is applied but the "Sample
detected" message is not displayed and
no sound is emitted, it means that the
control sample volume is insufficient.
Remove the chip and repeat the test
with a new one. Ensure that the drop is
of a suitable size and that the entry
channel is not blocked when placing the
drop.
