of BeneCheck Total Cholesterol or Glucose Test Strips is used. Each vial of test
strips has an assigned code number. The code strip is packaged with the test strip
in order to calibrate/code the meter. Every time a test strip is inserted, please be

number and test mode marked on the test strip vial.
Directions :
1.
Check the code number on the code strip is the same as the
code number on the test strip vial.

15
2. Insert code strip into the test port of the meter.
3. Wait for the code number to appear on the screen.
4.
Make sure the code number on the screen is the same as
the code number on the code strip.
Remove the code strip. “ ” should appear on the screen,
indicating that the meter has been coded.

16
Cautions :
If “E-0” appears on the screen after removing the code strip, there
may be a problem with the code strip. Perform the coding again, and
if “E-0” continues to appear, please contact the original dealer or
supplier for service.
2.4 Control Test
A control solution is used to check the performance of the BeneCheck CHOL.GLU
Dual Monitoring System, including BeneCheck CHOL.GLU Meter, BeneCheck Test
Strip, and the user’s operating skill. The system performs adequately if the control
test result falls within the indicated control range listed on the test strip vial.
The system should be checked
● When you get the meter for the rst time or begin using a new vial of test strip.
● When you suspect that the meter or the test strips are not working properly.
● Any time the total cholesterol or blood glucose test results are not consistent
with how you feel, or any time you think your results are not accurate.
● Any time you drop or bump the meter.

number will follow. Be careful to make sure the code number
is the same as the code number marked on test strip vial.
3. A blood drop symbol “ ” blinking on the screen means
the system is ready for sample loading.
