ReliOn® Conrm/Micro test strips
These test strips need only 0.3 µL (microliter) of blood. Apply blood to the
sample application tip. The strip draws in the blood by capillary action. The
blood glucose reacts with the enzyme on the test strip. This produces a
current proportional to the blood glucose level. The meter detects the current
and converts it into a blood glucose reading.

The ReliOn® Conrm blood glucose meter comes with one lithium battery CR2032
(or DL2032).
WARNING: Keep all batteries out of children’s reach. If a battery is
swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

• Replace batteries when low battery symbol appears. Otherwise
inaccurate results could be obtained.
• Discard used batteries as per local guidelines.

battery out of the cover.
3. Load a new battery into the battery
cover. Place the “+” side down when

proper position. Otherwise, the
preprogrammed times will be reset.
