Light Conditions - Accu-Chek Compact Plus User Manual

Blood glucose tests may be performed at the limit of the permitted
range (between +6 °C and +10 °C or between +40 °C and +44 °C).
When the temperature is at the limit of the permitted range, the
thermometer symbol flashes in the display.
Do not use results obtained at the limits of the permitted
temperature range as a basis for making therapeutic deci-
sions. The results may be incorrect. Incorrect results can
cause the wrong therapeutic decision to be taken and so pro-
duce serious adverse health effects.
Tests cannot be performed at temperatures below +6 °C and above
+44 °C.
In this event the following message is displayed:
Keep the lancing device at temperatures between -25 °C and
+70 °C.

Measurement and storage conditions
Never try to speed up warming or cooling of your meter, e.g. by
placing it on a radiator or in a refrigerator. Doing so can damage
the meter and cause it to give incorrect results. Incorrect results
can cause the wrong therapeutic decision to be taken and so
produce serious adverse health effects.
Keep the lancing device without a lancet inserted.
Never expose the lancing device to high temperatures (e.g. in a
hot car). High temperatures can cause parts of the lancing device
to become warped, so impairing its operation.

11.2 Light conditions

All displayed numbers and symbols appear yellow. Bright light shining
on the display may make them difficult to read. Shield the meter if nec-
essary using your body, for instance.
Keep the meter away from very strong light sources (e.g. direct
sunlight, studio lighting, spot lights, etc.). These may interfere
with the proper functioning of the meter and cause error mes-
sages to be displayed.
