6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning and Storage

• Clean the meter and lancing device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or use harsh cleaning agents.
• Store test strips in their original vial with the cap tightly closed to protect them from moisture. Store in a cool, dry place.
• Keep all kit components in the provided carrying case when not in use.

6.2 Control Solution Testing

Control solution tests check if your meter and test strips are working properly. It is recommended to perform a control solution test:

• When you open a new vial of test strips.
• If you suspect the meter or strips are not working correctly.
• If the meter has been dropped or damaged.

Figure 6.1: The kit includes control solution to verify meter and strip accuracy.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your blood glucose monitor, refer to the following common scenarios:

• Meter does not turn on: Ensure batteries are correctly installed and charged.
• "Lo" or "Hi" reading: These indicate glucose levels outside the measurable range. Consult your healthcare professional immediately.
• Inconsistent results: Ensure proper testing technique, check test strip expiration date, and perform a control solution test.
• Error messages: Refer to the full user manual for a complete list of error codes and their solutions.

7.1 Understanding Result Variations

It is normal for blood glucose results to vary between different brands of meters and between home and laboratory tests due to different technologies and sample types.

Figure 7.1: Different brands use unique algorithms and strip technologies, leading to variations in results within acceptable ISO standards.

Figure 7.2: Home tests use finger capillary whole blood, while hospital tests typically use venous plasma, which can result in a normal difference of ±15%.
