Veterinary Lactate Meter

Step 4: Apply a drop of control solution to the yellow reaction zone in the middle 

top of the test strip.

Step 5: The screen will show timing bars “----” that flash and then gradually 

diminish for countdown.

Step 6: After the timing bars disappear (approx. 45 seconds), the screen will 

show the test result. Compare the reading on the screen to the range 
indicated on the test strip label. 

Step 7: Remove the test strip and discard it into clinical waste.
Step 8: The screen will display the blood test mode.
The test result of control solution will not be stored in memory.

NOTE

If the test result is not within the expected range, repeat the test until the result 
reports within the range. If the results continue to report outside of the expected 
range, please contact the authorised dealer.
