Storage and Handling:



Prior to first use, check that the vial is undamaged and
closed.



Store the Omnitest® 3 test strip vials in a cool, dry place
between 2 – 30 °C (36 – 86 °F). Do not refrigerate or freeze.
Keep out of direct sunlight. Do not use test strips which
had been stored under inappropriate conditions.



Store test strips in their original vials only. Do not put the
test strips in new vials or in any other container.



Close the vial cap tightly immediately after removing an
Omnitest® 3 test strip. This keeps the strips fully functional
right up to the expiry date.



Use test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.



Do not use test strips after the expiration date printed on
the package or vial since it may cause inaccurate results.



Make a notation on the vial label of the date when you first
open it. Discard remaining Omnitest® 3 test strips 6 months
after first opening the vial.



Avoid getting dirt, food or water on the test strip. Do not
handle test strips with wet hands. All parts of the test strip
should only be touched with dry and clean fingers.



Do not bend, cut, or alter an Omnitest® 3 test strip.



Omnitest® 3 test strips are for single use only.

- 14 -



Be careful not to modify the auto-coding label on the back
side of the test strip.



Do not perform blood glucose tests at temperature below
+10 °C (50 °F) or above +40 °C (104 °F) and above 90 % relati­ve humidity.



Warning! Keep the test strip bottle away from children.

Automatic Coding of the Meter

Insert Omnitest® 3 test strip to turn on the meter. A special
auto-coding label on the back side of the test strip calibrates
the Omnitest® 3 meter automatically. Before testing, make sure
that the code number of the test strip vial matches the code
shown on the meter. If these two code numbers match,
you can start testing.

vial.



Verify that the auto-code label on the back side of the test
strip is undamaged.

Battery

Change batteries when the battery icon appears on the
display or when the meter does not power on by any means.

The meter needs two 3V lithium-batteries (CR2032). Batteries
are provided with the Omnitest® 3 meter system.

The Omnitest® 3 system could also operate with a single
3V lithium-battery (CR2032) which will reduce the operating
time.

- 18 -

Battery

When changing batteries, pay attention to the polarity, which
is printed in the battery holder of the meter. The positive pole
of the batteries has to face up.

If the new batteries are inserted, at first all segments of the
display will be shown. Thereafter an internal check of the
electronic takes place in the following seconds.
Correct the date and time setting after the battery change.
