Step 4
Apply the Sample.
Hold the blood drop to touch the absorbent
hole of the test strip. Blood will be drawn
in and after the confirmation window is
completely filled, the meter begins counting
down.
• 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
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.
