FAQs

How often should I clean my FreeStyle Freedom Lite meter?

It is recommended to clean the exterior of the meter regularly, for example, once a week, or whenever it appears dirty. Use a soft, dry cloth or a cloth slightly dampened with water.

What is the required blood sample size?

The FreeStyle Freedom Lite requires a very small blood sample, approximately 0.3 microliters.

How long does it take to get a reading?

The meter provides an average test result in just 5 seconds.

Can I use test strips from other brands?

No, the FreeStyle Freedom Lite meter is designed to work specifically with FreeStyle test strips. Using other brands may result in inaccurate readings or system errors.

How do the programmable alarms work?

You can set up to four daily alarms directly on the meter. These alarms will alert you at your chosen times to remind you to perform a blood glucose test.

What does 'no-code technology' mean?

No-code technology means the meter does not require you to manually enter a code or insert a chip before testing. This simplifies the process and reduces the risk of coding errors.

How do I reapply blood if the sample is too small?

The meter has a 60-second sample reapplication time. If the initial sample is insufficient, you can apply more blood to the same test strip within 60 seconds, and the test will proceed.

Troubleshooting

Meter does not turn on

Ensure a test strip is properly inserted. Check if the test strip is damaged or expired. Ensure the meter's battery is functional (if applicable).

Error message on display

Refer to the user manual for specific error codes. Common solutions include ensuring proper blood sample application, checking test strip expiration dates, or cleaning the test strip port.

Inaccurate or inconsistent readings

Verify you are using the correct FreeStyle test strips. Ensure your hands are clean before testing. Check the expiration date of the test strips. Calibrate the meter if recommended in the user manual.

Meter not filling with blood

Ensure you are applying sufficient blood to the test strip's edge. Make sure the test strip is inserted correctly. The fill trigger may need a slightly larger drop to initiate.
