Important
Do not apply any blood samples or control solutions to the test strip before inserting it in the monitor.
1
Take a test strip from the box and immediately close it again.
2
Hold the monitor so that the display is facing you.
3
Firmly insert a test strip into the device with the contacts first. Please
make sure that the front is facing you. You can touch any part of the
test strip with clean, dry hands.
Use the test strip within three minutes of removal.

You may now use the lancing device to take a blood sample. Make
sure that the blood remains as a droplet and is not spread. Immedi-
ately use the blood droplet to take a measurement.
Please read section 12 of these instructions for use in order to find
out how to use the lancing device correctly to take a blood sample.

Please also note the following:
• If the blood glucose test results do not match how you feel, carry out another test using blood
from your fingertip.
• DO NOT change your treatment purely on the basis of a measurement that was carried out
using blood taken from an alternative area. Carry out another test with blood from your fin-
gertip in order to confirm the test result.
• If you often fail to notice that you have a low blood glucose level, carry out a test using blood
from your fingertip.
6
If there is an insufficient amount of blood, repeat steps 1 to 7 with a greater penetration depth.
7
Hold the blood input gap (at the tip of the test strip) to
the drop of blood until the gap is completely filled and
the monitor in the display starts counting backwards. Do
not press the penetration area to the test strip. The blood
must not be spread. The blood is sucked into the gap.
Note
Error message “002” appears on the display if the gap was not correctly and sufficiently filled
with blood. Repeat the measurement using a new test strip and a greater penetration depth.
OK
