NOTE: 

 Alcohol swabs with 70% alcohol can be purchased in pharmacy. 

 Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures at the same 

spot may cause soreness and calluses. 

Performing a Lactate Test   

To perform a lactate test, you will need:

 (d), (f) 

and

 (g). 

 

1. 

Insert a test strip to turn on the meter 

The meter displays the initiating animation.

 

2. 

Select general mode by pressing 

 or 

Press 

M

 to perform this test. 

3. 

Obtaining a blood sample (j) 

Use the pre-set lancing device to puncture the desired site. The 
size of the drop should be at least as 0.8 microliter (

μ

L) of volume. 

Gently squeeze the punctured area to obtain another drop of 
blood. Be careful 

NOT

 to smear the blood sample.

   

4. 

Apply the sample (k) 

Gently apply the drop of blood to the absorbent hole of the test 
strip at a tilted angle. Confirmation window should be completely 
filled if enough blood sample has been applied. Do 

NOT 

remove 

your finger until you hear a beep sound.

 

NOTE: 

 Do not press the punctured site against the test strip or try to smear the 

blood. 

 If you do not apply a blood sample to the test strip within 3 minutes, the 

meter will automatically turn off. You must remove and reinsert the test strip 
to start a new test. 

 The confirmation window should be filled with blood before the meter begins 

to count down. 

NEVER

 try to add more blood to the test strip after the drop 

of blood has moved away. 

Discard the used test strip and retest with a 

new one.

 

 If you have trouble filling the confirmation window, please contact your 

health care professional or the local customer service for assistance.
