Atmospheric Humidity - Accu-Chek Compact Plus User Manual

A test can be performed at the limits of the permitted range (be-
tween +6 °C − +10 °C or between +40 °C − +44 °C). In this case
the thermometer symbol is displayed.
Do not use results obtained at the limits of the permitted tem-
perature range as a basis for making therapeutic decisions, as
they could be incorrect. Incorrect results can cause the wrong
therapeutic decision to be taken and so produce adverse health
effects.
Tests cannot be performed at temperatures below +6 °C and above
+44 °C.
The following message is displayed:
See also explanation for error message E20 on page 141.
At temperatures below 0 °C it is impossible to turn the meter on.
Keep the lancing device at temperatures between -25 °C and
+70 °C.

Measurement and storage conditions
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.
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 adverse health effects.

Atmospheric humidity

Keep the meter and lancing device at between 20 % and 85 % relative
humidity.
Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form
in or on the meter. If this happens, do not turn the meter on.
Make sure that it returns to room temperature slowly. Never keep
it in a room that is likely to harbour condensation (e.g. a bath-
room).
