and a series of “apply blood”
prompts appears. The meter
is now ready to run a blood
glucose test.

Fingertip Testing
The puncture depth depends
on the endcap setting and the
amount of pressure applied
to the puncture site. You will
quickly determine which combi-
nation works best for you.
Test
Hold the test strip in place
until the meter beeps, then
move the meter away.
7. Stroke your hand and finger
towards the puncture site to
form a drop of blood. Do not
squeeze around the puncture
site.
