Running a blood glucose test
1. Preparations
Before running a blood glucose test, make
yourself acquaint with the test strips and
the lancing device. Keep all required ma-
terials ready for use: your
smartLAB
®
mini
meter, the
smartLAB
®
pro
test strips and
the
smartLAB
®
lancing device includ-
ing lancets.
Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water before colleting the
blood sample. Rinse your hands thoroughly.
2. Switch on the meter
Take a strip out of the vial and immediately close it. Insert the strip
into the meter in the direction of the arrow on the strip. The meter
turns on automatically. „Code 888“ appears on the display and af-
terwards the symbol for applying blood.
In case „Code 888“, DOES NOT appear on the display,
please contact your supplier (see chapter „Note on
smartLAB
®
„NO CODE“ test strips“)
3. Collecting a blood sample
When the blood drop flashes on the display,
gently massage the part of your finger tip
which you obtain a drop of blood from us-
ing the lancing device. Place the lancing device against the pad of
your finger. Press the trigger button to activate the lancing device.
