Notes:
• Hold the meter so the test strip points downward. Do not bend the test strip.
• Do not apply control solution to the top of the test strip.
• Do not flood the test strip with control solution. Only a small drop of control solution is required.
• Never try to reuse a test strip that has been released from the meter.
• Do not open the test drum compartment when the motor is running.
• Use either ACCU-CHEK Compact Blue control solution or ACCU-CHEK Compact control solution
with your ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus system or your control test results may be inaccurate.
• Keep the test drum container until you are finished with the test drum. You will need to refer to the
acceptable ranges on the label when you run a control test.
• If the meter did not automatically detect that you applied control solution and you did not press
two times before turning off the meter, the control result is stored with your other blood test
results in the meter's memory. This will include the control result with your average blood sugar test
results. This could be confusing for you and your healthcare provider.
• If you do not turn off the meter after a test, the meter turns off automatically after about 60 seconds.
The test strip then remains in the meter. When you slide and release
simply releases the test strip and turns itself off again.
