Testing and storage conditions

So that the meter and finger pricker work reliably and
you obtain accurate results, make sure that the condi-
tions listed on the following pages are met.

15.1 Temperature

Without batteries and without a test cassette, the
meter should be stored at between -25 and +70 °C.
With batteries and without a test cassette, the
meter should be stored at between -10 and +50 °C.
At temperatures above +50 °C, the batteries
could leak and damage the meter.
At temperatures below -10 °C, the batteries
do not have enough power to keep the
internal clock functioning.
With batteries and with a test cassette, the meter
should be stored at between +2 and +30 °C.
Testing and storage conditions
For blood glucose tests and control tests, the permit-
ted temperature range is between +10 and +40 °C.
If the temperature is between +8 and +10 °C or
between +40 and +42 °C, the meter will still allow
you to perform a test. However, the following warn-
ing will appear (see also Chapter 16.2).
Do not use blood glucose results obtained
despite this warning as a basis for making
therapeutic decisions. These results may be
incorrect. Incorrect results can cause the
wrong therapeutic decision to be taken and
so produce serious adverse health effects.
