Testing blood glucose

If your blood glucose test result does not agree with the
way you feel, please contact your doctor. If the message
HI is displayed, your blood glucose result is above
33.3 mmol/L. If the message LO is displayed, your blood
glucose result is below 0.6 mmol/L. The results obtained
will not be used in statistical calculations (see Chapter
6.1 "Highest value, lowest value, average"). If a segment
is missing from one of the three
display segment test), or if strange characters appear
instead of a proper blood glucose result, the display is
malfunctioning. Please do not run any more blood tests;
contact our Diabetes Care Info-Line (please refer to
Chapter 12: "Customer support and service").
Do not reuse a test strip that has been completely eject-
ed from the monitor.
Do not allow your Accu-Chek Compact monitor to be
used by more than one person. To do so would place all
users at risk of infection (see Chapter 7.2 "Cleaning the
monitor").
Keep the test strip away from skin unless you are touch-
ing it against blood or control solution. Do not bend the
test strip, or an error message will be displayed.

If you hold down the ON/OFF button for a
few seconds when you turn the monitor on,
you can perform a full segment check. Do
this to verify that all of the display segments
are properly displayed.
When performing a quality control test, refer
to the list of expected values given on the
peel-off label attached to the test strip drum
container. Keep this label until you have
used up all the strips in that drum.
Accu-Chek Compact turns off automatically

Please dispose of used test strips with your
