Initial steps before testing

2.3 Inserting 

the 

first test cassette

If your meter is brand new and unused, it does not 

contain a test cassette.

  Please read the test cassette package insert. It 

contains important information on storage and 

possible causes of incorrect results, for exam-

ple.

  If the foil-sealed packaging is damaged, you 

must not use the test cassette. Otherwise, there 

is a risk that you might obtain incorrect results. 

Incorrect results can cause the wrong thera-

peutic decision to be taken and so produce 

serious adverse health effects. 

  Only remove the test cassette from its packa -

ging when you want to insert it into the meter. 

The packaging protects the test cassette against 

damage and moisture.

i

  Insert the very 

fi

rst test cassette in the meter 

before you remove the protective strip from the 

batteries and start using the meter.

  A table is printed on the test cassette box which 

shows the permitted results for control tests 

(checking the meter with glucose control solu-

tion). The meter automatically checks whether 

the result of a control test is correct. If you wish 

to check the result yourself as well, you can do 

this with this table. Keep the test cassette box in 

case you need it for this purpose. Please note 

that the table is only valid for the test cassette 

that comes in the same box. Test cassettes from 

other boxes have other tables.
