E-1 The test strip may be damaged. Remove the test
strip and reinsert it, or replace it if damaged.
E-3 Your blood glucose may be extremely high or a
meter or a test strip error has occurred. If your test
result matches how you feel, contact your
healthcare professional immediately. If your test
result does not match how you feel, repeat the test
and refer to Chapter 3 of the Owner’s Booklet,
Unusual Test Results. If this test result does not
match how you feel, perform a control test with the
control solution and a new test strip. If the control
result is within the acceptable range, review the
proper testing procedure and repeat your blood
glucose test with a new test strip. If the E-3 code
still appears for your blood glucose test, your blood
glucose result may be extremely high and above the
system’s reading range. Contact your healthcare
professional immediately. If the control result is not
within the acceptable range, see Chapter 2 of the
Owner’s Booklet, Understanding Out-of-Range Control
Test Results.

test strip was removed and reinserted. Turn the meter
off and on, or take the batteries out for 20 seconds and
reinsert them. Perform a blood glucose or control test.

the system. Refer to the test strip package insert for
system operating conditions. Move to an area with the
appropriate conditions, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the
