Use the pre-set lancing device to puncture the desired site. Wipe off the first
drop of blood that appears with a clean cotton swab. Gently squeeze the
punctured area to obtain another drop of blood. Be careful not to smear the
blood sample. The size of the drop should be at least as big as • actual size,
which is 0.7 microliter (μL) of volume.

sample, at a tilted angle. The absorbent hole
of the test strip will absorb the blood sample
until the confirmation window completely filled.

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 2 minutes, the
meter will automatically switch off. You will need to remove and reinsert the
test strip to start a new test.
• The confirmation window should be filled with blood before the meter
starts to count down.
• Adding blood to the test strip should be done in one single action. NEVER
try to add more blood to the test strip once it has been removed from the
test site or the " " sign has disappeared from the screen.
Discard the used
test strip and retest with a new one.
• If you experience issues whilst performing the test procedure, please
contact your healthcare professional or Homemed (Pty) Ltd for assistance.
