Beurer GL50 mg/dL 21
6 Apply blood to the test strip
Turn the monitor by 180°. Hold the blood input gap (at the tip of
the test strip) to the drops of blood until the gap is completely filled
and the monitor in the display starts counting backwards.
Do not press the penetration area (fingertip or other body parts) to
the test strip. The blood must not be spread. The blood is sucked
into the gap.
Note
Error message “Err002” appears on the display if the gap was
not correctly and sufficiently filled with blood. Repeat the meas-
urement using a new test strip and a greater penetration depth.
Note
• Do not add blood later if the device does not start measurement. Remove the test strip and end
this test. Use a new test strip.
• If the test strip has already been inserted into the device but no blood is added to the test strip
within two minutes, the device switches itself off. Briefly remove the test strip and reinsert it so that
the device automatically switches itself back on.
• Contact Customer Services if you are unable to cover the test strip in blood correctly.
5.4 Reading the result and labelling measurements
Read the result
Hold the blood glucose monitor so that the display is
facing you (Beurer logo on the right-hand side). As soon
as the blood input gap is filled with sufficient blood,
the device performs the blood glucose measurement.
The blood glucose monitor counts down for approx.
five seconds. The measured result is then shown on
the display.
Read your measured value. Check again that you have read the result correctly. The underline must
be below the measured value, otherwise you need to turn the monitor by 180°. For explanations of
and measures regarding the measured values, see “5.6 Evaluating measured blood glucose val-
ues” on page 23. If an error message is displayed, read chapter “8. What if there are problems?”
on page 33.
