Step 9 

After the 

 symbol appears on the 

screen, apply the blood sample to the 

narrow end of the test strip until the 

meter beeps. 
If the blood sample does not fill the 

confirmation window completely, an 

‘Er4’ message may appear because 

of abnormal viscosity or insufficient 

volume. 
Then discard the test strip, insert a new 

one, and apply the blood sample again 

after the 

 symbol appears on the 

screen. 

Step 8 

Obtain a blood sample using the lancing 

device. Place the device against the pad 

of the finger. The best puncture sites are 

on the middle or ring fingers.
Press the release button. Remove the 

lancing device from the finger. Wait a 

few seconds for a blood drop to form. 

A minimum volume of 0.5 μL is needed to fill the confirmation 

window.
