3. Apply the sample
Gently apply the drop of blood to the absorbent hole of the test strip at a
titled angle. Confirmation window should be completely filled if enough
blood sample has been applied. Do NOT remove the paw of dog or cat
until you hear a beep sound.
NOTE:
• Do not press the punctured 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 the 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
veterinarian or customer service for assistance.
