Place the meter on a level surface or

hold it steady in your hand. Switch the

meter on.

Ensure that the display is on and that all

display elements are displayed correctly.

Check the time and date (if you want to

save this information with the result).

The Accutrend Plus meter is used

for the quantitative measurement of

glucose and cholesterol in capillary

whole blood. The meter is suitable

for professional use as well as for

self- testing.

Please note:

This Quick Reference Guide is

not intended as an alternative

to reading the User’s Manual.

Please read the Accutrend

Plus User’s Manual carefully

before using the meter for the

first time.

The following steps describe a

cholesterol test but can likewise be

performed for a glucose test.

With the chamber flap closed, insert

the code strip as far as it will go and

remove it immediately.

Successful coding is confirmed by a

short beep (if the beeper option is

enabled) and the code is displayed

by the meter. If an error occurs or if

the code is not displayed, repeat

the process after a few seconds.

Insert a code strip as shown. Do not

touch the printed area behind the black

bar or on the back of the strip.

If no code has ever been stored,

codenr flashes with three dashes.

Otherwise the last stored code is

displayed.

You must code the meter

every time you open a new

test strip container.

Hold the test strip as shown and insert

it as far as possible. If the strip is correctly

inserted you will hear two beeps (if the

beeper option is enabled). The code

number of the Accutrend Cholesterol

test strip is displayed.

Remove an Accutrend Cholesterol test

strip from the container. Always close

the container again immediately. The

cap contains a drying agent to protect

the strips from humidity.

and obtain a hanging drop of blood.

For blood application inside the meter:

Apply the hanging drop of blood

immediately from the finger to the

yellow application area of the Accutrend

Cholesterol test strip. Do not touch the

application area with your finger.

Continue with step (12).

For blood application outside the meter:

Remove the Accutrend Cholesterol test

strip and leave the flap open. Apply the

hanging drop of blood immediately

from the finger to the yellow application

area of the test strip. Do not let the

application area come into contact with

your skin. Insert the Accutrend

Cholesterol test strip back into the

meter.

You can apply blood with the strip

inside or outside the meter.

To avoid incorrect results, make sure

the application area is completely

covered with blood.
