Testing and storage conditions
13
Tests cannot be performed at temperatures below +8 or above +42°C. In this case, the E-8 message
Temperature too low: Retest in a warmer location or Temperature too high: Retest in a cooler location
appears (see Messages and problems page128).
W
Never try to artificially speed up a temperature change in your meter, for example, by placing it in the
refrigerator or on a radiator. Doing so can damage the meter and cause it to produce incorrect test
results. Incorrect test results can cause the wrong therapy recommendation to be made and thus
produce serious adverse health eects.
Do not store the finger pricker at very low or high temperatures, for example, in a hot car.
Humidity
Only perform blood glucose tests at a relative humidity of between 15 and 85%.
Store the meter in a place with a relative humidity of between 15 and 93%.
W
Sudden changes in temperature cause condensation to form in or on the meter. If this happens, do not
turn the meter on. Allow the meter to return to ambient temperature slowly. Do not store the meter in
high moisture areas (for example, in a bathroom).
