3.
Obtain a blood sample.
Use the lancing device to obtain a blood sample.
(See lancing device instructions for use for more
information.)
4.
Apply blood to the test strip.
Bring the blood drop to the white area at the end of
the test strip. The blood is drawn into the test strip.
Hold
blood to test strip until you see 3 short lines
on the meter screen. This means you have applied
enough blood.
Notes:
•
If you are testing blood glucose, you will see a
5-second countdown. If you are testing blood ketone,
you will see a
1
o-second countdown.
•
Do
not
remove the test strip from the meter during
the countdown.
•
If the countdown does not start, you may not have
applied enough blood to the test strip. See test strip
instructions for use for re-application instructions. If
the countdown still does not start, remove the used
strip and discard it correctly. Start a new test with a
new test strip.
