container. Close the container tightly.
Gently squeeze your finger to assist the flow
of blood. This helps you get a blood drop.
Touch the blood drop to the front edge of
the yellow window of the test strip. Do not
put blood on top of the test strip.
After your result appears, discard the used
test strip.
Insert the test strip into the meter in the
direction of the arrows. The meter turns on.
Make sure the code number on the display
matches the code number on the test strip
container. If you miss seeing the code
number, remove the test strip out and
reinsert it into the meter.
When the blood drop symbol flashes, obtain
a blood drop from your fingertip.
To test using blood from alternative sites,
refer to your Owner’s Booklet.
