TESTING

The flashing clock symbol appears while the meter is reading your result. You will hear a three-tone beep when the meter displays your result. Results appear, on average, in 30 seconds.

(Example)

The meter displays results between 0 and 500 mg/dL. In virtually all cases above 500 mg/dL, the meter reads “ .”

Note: Your meter is designed to give accurate results at temperatures between 50° and 95°F (10–35°C). At the higher end of this tempera- ture range the test time may be as short as 15 seconds. At the lower end of this temperature range, the test time will be extended.

The SURESTEP® System is calibrat- ed to give plasma values. Because most clinical laboratories measure plasma glucose, the SURESTEP System enables you to more directly compare meter results with lab results. See pages 35–36 to learn how to compare meter and lab results.
