Lifescan OneTouch manual Before Testing, Checking the Display, Coding the Meter

BEFORE TESTING

Checking the Display

Each time you insert a test strip into the OneTouch® FastTake® Meter or turn the meter on, all segments of the display will appear briefly. This tells you that the system is performing several self-checks and allows you to confirm that all display segments are working properly. (See pages 4 and 5 for all display segments.)

Coding the Meter

Code numbers are used to calibrate the OneTouch® FastTake® Test Strips with the OneTouch® FastTake® Meter for accurate results. You must code the meter before using it for the first time and then every time you change to another vial of OneTouch® FastTake® Test Strips. Each time you test, check that the code number on the meter display matches the code number on the test strip vial.

CAUTION: If the code number displayed on the meter does not match the number printed on the vial, test results may be inaccurate.
