Happy

Happy with the product once I learnt how to use correctly. I.e. put the bit that you hold at the bottom of the card.

Про качество тестов скажу 5 с минусом. От профессионалов часто слышу что тест полоски ерунда. Нет, тест полоски удобно и точно. Но нужно ровно минуту держать, 15-30 секунд дольше и точности уже не будет. Так что не смотря на низкую оценку самими тестами доволен. Сравнивал с реагентами, расхождения минимальные.

Hi Igor, please contact us on www.jbl.de/support regarding your issue. We will have a look on it and find a solution!

Den Teststreifen richtig auf die Farbkarte legen, dann klappt es auch mit der Messung

Auf der ColorCard sind Hinweise für oben "top" und unten "bottom" angegeben. Nimmt man nun den Teststreifen in die Hand, wird automatisch zur Seite "bottom" gegriffen. Es ist die Seite, die unten keine Analysefelder auf dem Streifen hat. "top" hat die Analysefelder bis zum Rand. Sollte eine Fehlermeldung in der App erscheinen, wurde der Analysestreifen verdreht auf die ColorCard gelegt. Korrigieren Sie einfach die Positionierung.

Hi BusybeeST, danke für dein Feedback. Oft sind es nur Kleinigkeiten, wie beispielsweise die Positionierung, welche das Ergebnis beeinflussen. :-)
