Testing and storage conditions
Temperature
Make sure that the following conditions are met so that the meter and finger pricker operate reliably and
you obtain accurate test results:
Storage Temperature
Blood glucose monitoring system without batteries, without test
cassette
-25 to +70°C
Blood glucose monitoring system with batteries, without test cassette -10 to +50°C
Blood glucose monitoring system with batteries, with test cassette +2 to +30°C
H
At temperatures above +50°C, the batteries could leak and damage the meter.
For blood glucose tests and control tests, the permitted temperature range is between +10 and +40°C.
If the temperature is between +8 and +10°C or between +40 and +42°C, the meter will still allow you
to perform a test. However, the message Temperature too low or Temperature too high appears (see
Messages and problems page122):
W
Do not use blood glucose results obtained despite this warning as a basis for making therapeutic
decisions. These test results may be incorrect. Incorrect test results can cause the wrong therapy
recommendation to be made and thus produce serious adverse health eects.
