Initial steps before testing 2

Prüfmittelnummer 310
2.1 Checking the unit of measurement
1
Blood glucose results can be 1 displayed in two
different units (mg/dL or mmol/L). Consequently, two
different versions of the same meter are sold. Check
that your meter displays the unit of measurement you
are accustomed to. You can nd the unit of measure‑
ment that your meter displays on the type plate on the
back of your meter. If you do not know which is the
right unit of measurement for you, ask your healthcare
professional.
2 Initial steps before testing W
The unit of measurement that your meter displays
cannot be changed. If the wrong unit is printed on
the type plate, ask your dealer to change the meter
or contact your customer support and service centre
(see page 128). An incorrect unit of measurement
can cause the test results to be misinterpreted and
the wrong therapy recommendation to be made and
thus result in serious adverse health effects.

2.2 Inserting the rst test cassette
Before using your meter for the rst time, you must
insert a test cassette.
Insert the very rst test cassette in the meter before
you remove the protective strip from the batteries and
start using the meter.
W
 Please read the test cassette package insert. It
contains important information, e.g. on storage and
possible causes of incorrect test results.
 If the foil‑sealed plastic container or the foil is
damaged, you must not use the test cassette.
Otherwise, there is a risk that you might obtain
incorrect test results. Incorrect test results can
cause the wrong therapy recommendation to
be made and so result in serious adverse health
effects.
 Only open the foil‑sealed plastic container when
you want to insert the test cassette into the me‑
ter. The unopened foil‑sealed plastic container
protects the test cassette against damage and
moisture.
i
A table is printed on the test cassette box which
shows the permitted results for control tests (check‑
ing the meter with glucose control solution). The
meter automatically checks whether the result of a
control test is correct (see page 91). If you wish to
check the control 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
this box. For test cassettes from other boxes, other
tables apply.
