Suggested Actual Drop Size
Hold the tip of the test
strip in the blood drop
until the meter beeps
and the 8 second count-
down begins.
A test strip with a
flashing blood drop will
appear letting you know
the meter is ready to
test.
Press the lancing
device firmly against the
puncture site and press
the release button.
Test immediately after
you have formed a
blood drop. Only 0.6 µL
is needed for a test.
Testing Your Blood:
Hold the meter with
the orange test strip
port pointing down or
toward you. Immediately
touch the tip of the
test strip to the
drop of blood. The
blood is drawn
into the test strip
through the tip.
Make sure the orange
test strip port is pointing
down. Your test result is
displayed and automati-
cally stored in the meter
memory.
To turn your meter off,
simply remove the test
strip. Carefully dispose
of the used test strip.
