Make sure that you:
❏
Touch only the tip of
the drop of blood to the
test spot.
❏
Do not smear blood on the
test spot or apply a second
drop after the test begins.
❏
Apply enough blood to form
a round, shiny drop that
covers the test spot com-
pletely and stays wet during
the entire test.
❏
Do not move the test strip
as you are applying blood. If
the test strip moves, push it
back to its original position.
❏
Do not remove the test
strip from the meter to
apply blood.
The meter will beep when the
blood has been applied to the
test spot.
