Applying blood with a syringe
Discard the first four drops of blood collected (within the
first 10 seconds). Then immediately apply one drop of
blood (at least 8 μ L, but not more than 20 μ L) directly
onto the target area of the test strip. Ensure that no air
bubbles are introduced into the sample.
If too much blood has been applied (> 20 μ L) the exterior
of the meter and the test strip guide should be cleaned
and disinfected.
