Wash your hands with warm water and
soap, and dry them well. This helps stimu-
late blood flow and removes any residues
from the skin, e.g. from food and drinks,
which can lead to incorrect results.
Please ensure you apply the drop to the
centre of the test area
and not to the
edges.
Open the tip cover
. The meter turns on.
Read the test result and close the tip cover
. The meter automatically turns off.
You can tell that a lancet drum has been

lancet drum again.
Push the lever at the side of the finger
pricker to the right

to load a new lancet.
Apply the blood drop to the test area. You
only need to touch the test area gently as
