How to Test Blood Glucose
1.
Remove one test strip from vial and close
vial immediately. Use test strip quickly after
removing from vial.
2. Insert test strip contact end (blocks facing
up) into the meter test port.
The meter
turns on and performs an automatic self-test.
Note:
If the test strip has been out of the vial
for too long before testing, an error message
appears after it is inserted into the meter. Discard
the test strip. Use a new test strip for testing. If
the meter does not turn on or an error message
appears, see
Troubleshooting
section.
3.
The display shows the time, animal symbol,
and blinking drop. Make sure that the animal
symbol matches the animal you are testing
(see
Setting/ Changing Animal Type
section for
how to change the animal type).
Note:
Applying a sample drop without fi rst
selecting the animal type will give an error
message (see
Error Messages
section).
4.
Lance test site and obtain a blood drop (see
Obtaining a Blood Sample
section).
5.
With test strip still in meter,
touch the
test strip sample tip to the top of the
blood drop.
The blood is automatically
drawn into the test strip.
