1.4 The main features at a glance
Test cassette instead of test strips
The test cassette contains a continuous tape on
which there are 50 test areas. When a test is to be
performed a test area is automatically advanced to
the tip of the cassette.
Easy testing
For testing, you do not need to press a single button.
You open the tip cover, apply blood to the test area,
read the result and close the tip cover.
Docked finger pricker
You can obtain blood with the
fi
nger pricker still
docked onto the meter. Or you can undock the
fi
nger
pricker and then use it to obtain blood.
Finger pricker with lancet supply
A drum containing 6 sterile lancets is placed in the
fi
nger pricker. Pushing the lever on the
fi
nger pricker
rotates the drum to the next lancet. This means that
you can obtain blood with a new and sterile lancet
6 times before you have to replace the drum.
No coding
Each test cassette contains an RFID (
r
adio
f
requency
id
enti
fi
cation) chip. This automatically codes the
meter when you insert a test cassette and informs
the meter about the speci
fi
c properties of the test
areas in this test cassette.
