Applying blood and reading results
26
Once you have a blood sample and your meter shows the
APPLY BLOOD
screen, you are ready to obtain a blood glucose result. If your meter
does not show the
APPLY BLOOD
screen, remove the unused test strip
and re-start the test process. See page 10.
1. Prepare to apply the sample
Keeping your finger extended and steady, move the meter and test
strip toward the blood drop.
Do Not
apply blood on the top
of the test strip.
Do Not
hold the meter and test strip underneath the
blood drop. This may cause blood to run into the test
port and damage the meter.
