Immediately touch the tip of the test strip to the drop of blood. The blood
pulled into the test strip through the tip. Make sure that the blood sample has
been fully filled the check window on the strip tip. Hold the tip of the test strip
in the blood drop until the meter beeps.
Note:
Sometimes it can be difficult to get a blood sample. Here are some
recommendations how to improve the procedure:
•
Warming the puncture site by means of a warm cloth
•
Gently rubbing of the puncture site
Sometimes it is useful to puncture twice very nearby to form one blood drop out of
the punctures. It is important to motivate the animals by means of positive
reinforcement like:
•
Perform the blood glucose testing under calm and relaxed conditions
•
Feed a “Goodie” as a reward
Note:
If the blood sample does not fill the check window, do not add a second drop.
Discard the test strip and start over with a new test strip.

an error.
Note:
Remove the used strip meter will turn off automatically. See “Discard used test strip”
instruction below. Meter shuts off automatically 2 minutes after inactivity.
