Testing blood glucose

Checking your test results

The test strip itself allows you to estimate the test result through colour comparison and thus also to

check the displayed result.

Before the blood glucose test

On the back of the test strip,

there is a round, coloured control

window.

Compare the colour of this

window with the coloured dots

on the label of the test strip

container.

The colour of the control window

must match the colour of the top

coloured dot (0 mg/dL,

0mmol/L). If the control window

is a dierent colour, you must no

longer use the test strip.

After the blood glucose test

The label on the test strip container shows blood glucose values in

mg/dL and mmol/L next to each coloured dot.

Within 30 to 60 seconds after applying blood to the test strip,

compare the colour of the control window on the back of the test

strip with the dot that comes closest to your test result.

If the colour deviates signiﬁcantly, repeat the test. If the colour

deviates during further tests, contact your customer support and

service centre.

Only the test results displayed by the meter should be used for

therapeutic recommendations. The colour comparison serves only as

a plausibility check of the test results.
