Error 1

Possible Causes

• Sample is too small.

• Problem with the test strip.

• Problem with the meter.

Very low blood glucose

(less than 20 mg/dL [1.1 mmol/L]).

What You Should Do
1. If you have symptoms such as weakness, sweating, nervousness,
headache, or confusion, follow your doctor’s recommendation for
treating hypoglycemia.

2. Conduct a control solution test using a new test strip. If the results
of the control solution test are within the range printed on the side
of your test strip vial, retest using blood and a new test strip.

3. If the retest using control solution does not work, or the error
persists, call Customer Care.
