Prior to performing a blood glucose measurement be sure
the testing environment is between the operating temperature
and relative humidity range of your system (found at the back
of this Guide).

Test Site
The meter only requires a small droplet of
blood (0.5 μL), about the size of a pinhead, to
perform a glucose test. Test using blood from
the tip of any finger.
CAUTION:
To ensure accurate results and reduce chance of
infection and disease spread by blood, wash your hands and
the test site with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly
before every test. Unwashed hands and test sites may lead to
inaccurate results. Make sure there is no grease, oil or lotion
on the test site. Use lancets only once. Do not use any lancing
device or lancet that has been used by another person. Always
keep your meter and lancing device clean.
