Notes:
• Hold the meter so the test strip points downward. Do not bend the test strip.
• Do not apply control solution to the top of the test strip.
• Do not flood the test strip with control solution. Only a small drop of control solution is required.
• Never try to reuse a test strip that has been released from the meter.
• Do not open the test drum compartment when the motor is running.
• Use ACCU-CHEK Compact Blue control solution with your ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus system or your
control test results may be inaccurate.
• Keep the test drum container or the container label until you are finished with the test drum. You will
need to refer to the acceptable ranges on the label when you run a control test.
• If you do not turn off the meter after a test, the meter turns off automatically after about 60 seconds.
The test strip then remains in the meter. When you slide and release to turn on the meter, it
simply releases the test strip and turns itself off again.
