Chapter 3: Testing Your Blood Sugar 53 ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service Center 1-800-858-8072
Notes:
• Hold the meter so the test strip points downward. Do not bend the test strip.
• Do not apply blood to the top of the test strip.
• Do not flood the test strip with blood. Only a small drop of blood is required.
• When you install a new test drum, a dot appears in the strip count window on the back of the meter. This
means the test drum is ready for a test. The meter counts down the remaining test strips after each test.
By looking at the test count window, you can see how many test strips you have left to use.
• When a test drum is empty, the dot reappears in the strip count window on the back of the meter. “End”
and the test drum symbol flash on the display.
• Do not open the test drum door when the motor is running.
• If you do not turn off the meter after a test, the meter turns off automatically after about 60 seconds. The
test strip then remains in the meter. When you slide and release to turn on the meter, it simply
releases the test strip and turns itself off again.
• Always let the meter release the test strip. If you pull out a used test strip, blood can enter the meter and
contaminate it.
• Never push any test strip back into the meter or the test drum. These test strips can produce incorrect
results.
