Testing a capillary blood sample
56
Alternatively, you can touch
the blood drop against the
side of the sample application
area (instead of applying it to
the centre from above). The
test strip draws up the blood
by capillary action.
During this process you must
hold the blood drop to the
test strip until the flashing
blood drop symbol has disap-
peared and the monitor
beeps (provided the beep
tone is turned on).
Apply the blood drop to the test
strip
within 15 seconds
of lanc-
ing the fingertip. Applying blood
after this period of time would
falsify the result, as the coagula-
tion process would already have
begun. When applied from above,
the blood must cover the entire
sample application area.
