I just ordered these and the box said "No coding required." Does that mean I don't have to calibrate the meter?

Yes. Just insert a strip in the glucometer. It instantly recognizes that it's a ketone-testing strip, and in 1-2 seconds the device is ready to receive a drop of blood.

I bought those too, the readings with the no-calibration strips still came out as 0.1's almost all the time with occasional 0.2's just like the first set of calibrated strips that I had bought with the meter originally. I'm an engineer and don't know exactly how they do it, but nanoscale manufacturing these days is doing amazing things so maybe the calibration sample is on the strip sub-microscopically and we simply can't see it. Just follow the instructions and be happy.

Mine did not come with control solution and was reading 20 points below another meter from a different company that I also had. When I read the box, it stated clearly that it did not come with control solution but gave a number to purchase solution. When I called, I was told that solution would be $7.49 and $7 for postal charges. I contacted the seller and they confirmed that this item does not include control solution.

Not anymore. The meters now come with a black coding key (code 113). All AVIVA test strips will now be recognized by the black code key. No more changing code keys when opening a new package of test strips.

I don't know why you would require certification but these gauges are not NIST certified. You can calibrate them, though using a dead weight tester and the adjustment screw in the face of the gauge.

As others have mentioned each batch of strips are coded. If you are using the One Touch Ultra Mini as I used to use than no worry about the codes. In the old days, for a lot of meters there was a method of changing the code of the strips in the glucometer before the strips could be used. So glad that is not necessary with these.

I didn't need to calibrate. I did test it on 3 items that I knew the exact weight of and it was right on each time.

No it does not have to be calibrated. Simple to use, and good instructions. The cable withstood a huge test with a giant commercial smoker (for a graduation party)...still is perfectly functional.

I have never had the need to calibrate a digital thermometer, so I don't know. They have always read accurately.

I don't think there is any calibration necessary. There are different frequency choices you can select. It seems to measure whatever emf radiation is in the area.

There is no initial calibration needed and I don't find anything regarding instructions on how to calibrate it should there be the need to in the future. I am assuming that since it works as most digital scales do, measuring changes in electrical resistance distributed to load cells, calibration is performed at the factory and would need to be performed by the factory in the future if there was a need to do so. I have had other digital scales which operated the same way and lasted for many years. It measures the same as a mechanical scale I have so I believe it is accurate from the factory. The only way to tell for sure is to locate a standard and periodically check to ensure it is calibrated against that standard.

You need to purchase it directly from Dataq in order to get a calibration certificate. See http://www.dataq.com/blog/data-acquisition/thermocouple-data-acquisition/el-usb-series-data-loggers-and-calibration/

I did not calibrate it except to test against another thermometer. It was right on. No adjusting is possible to the reading.

My advice is ring Fluke, if not, carry out your own question & see what happens, do what you're asking & the meter might likely go to some setting & never work again. My advice, don't play with things you know nothing about. CG

I don't know. It's best to buy the ones designed for your meter. Next time you are at your doctor, ask him for a free meter.

You can order one that is calibrated. Meters typically do not come from the factory with NIST calibration certs. It is best to have them calibrated locally.

I found no calibration feature. You can contact the manufacturer and they will answer your question further.

Baseline calibration should be the water source for your project. The meter came out of the box pre-calibrated for me. I assume if you want to set the baseline at 0 you can use reverse osmosis water. I never had to calibrate mine and it gave accurate readings.
