Step 9
Obtain a blood sample using the
lancing device. Place the device against
the pad of the finger as shown in the
diagram. Press the release button.
Remove the device from the finger. Wait
a few seconds for a blood drop to form.
A minimum volume of 0.5 microliter is
needed to fill the confirmation window.
(Actual size of 0.5 µL : )
Step 10
After the
symbol appears on the screen, apply the blood
sample to the narrow end of the test strip till the meter beeps.
If the confirmation window is not filled in time because of
abnormal viscosity (thickness and stickiness) or insufficient
volume, the Er4 message may appear.
It is recommended that the application of blood sample to the
test strip be performed virtually vertical to the sample site as
shown in the diagram below.

Note:
The meter may switch off if the blood sample is not
applied within 2 minutes of the
symbol appearing
on the screen. If the meter turns off, remove the strip and
reinsert it and apply blood sample after
symbol
appears on the screen.
Step 11
After the blood sample has been
applied, the display segments will
rotate clockwise on the meter display.
The test result will appear after the
meter counts down from 5 to 1. The
result will be automatically stored in
the meter’s memory.
If the test strip is removed after the test
result has been displayed, the meter
will automatically switch off after 3
seconds. Discard used test strips safely
in appropriate containers.
