13 Apply the blood directly from the finger by
touching the blood drop against the side
of the semicircular, transparent sample
application area of the test strip.
To prevent excess blood from reaching the
meter, apply blood via side-dosing directly
from fingertip.
Alternatively, you can apply the blood
directly from the finger to the center of the
semicircular, transparent sample application
area of the test strip. The test strip draws up
the blood by capillary action.
During this process you must hold the blood
drop to the test strip until the next screen
indicates that the blood has been applied
successfully.
CAUTION
Apply the blood drop to the test strip within
15 seconds of lancing the fingertip. Applying
blood after this period of time could falsify
the result, as the coagulation process could
already have begun.
