Taking a test
2. Wait for the channel to fill completely
The blood drop will be drawn into the narrow channel.
The channel should fill completely.
The channel turns red and the meter will count down from
5 to 1.
Blood should not be applied on the top of the test strip or
to the top edge of the test strip.
• Do Not smear or scrape the sample with the test strip.
• Do Not press the test strip too firmly against the
puncture site or the channel may be blocked from
filling properly.
• Do Not apply more blood to the test strip after you have
moved the drop of blood away.
