Step 4
Apply the sample
Hold the meter with the strip pointing
downward and the absorbent hole
of the test strip touching the blood
drop. Blood will be drawn in to the
strip. Once the confirmation window
is completely filled, meter begins
counting down. Do not remove the
strip from the blood drop until the
meter beeps.
• Do not press the site against the test strip or try to smear the blood.
• If you do not apply a blood sample to the test strip within 3 minutes, the
meter will automatically turn off. You must remove and reinsert the test
strip to start a new test.
• The confirmation window should be filled with blood before the meter
begins to count down. NEVER try to add more blood to the test strip after
your drop of blood has moved away. Discard the used test strip and retest
with a new one.
• If you have trouble filling the confirmation window, please contact your
health care professional or the local customer service for assistance.
