Code (Calibrate) the Meter SECTION 2
WHY CODE THE METER?
To match the Meter to the reactivity of the Test Strip, you must
first code (calibrate) the Meter using the Code Strip provided in
the carton of Ascensia E
LITE™ Test Strips now in use.
Each lot of Test Strips is tested extensively and assigned a Function
Number (0 through 12) identified on the Code Strip.
WHEN TO CODE THE METER
Reset the code for each new carton of Ascensia ELITE™ Blood Glucose Test Strips used,
unless the new carton of Test Strips has the same Function Number as the previous
one.
