CHAPTER 4 - TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE
When applying a drop of blood from your forearm
or palm, keep your palm or forearm steady and
bring the top edge of the test strip to the drop of
blood with your other hand.

Apply the sample
Line up the strip with the blood drop so that the narrow channel on the edge of the test strip is almost
touching the edge of the blood drop.
Gently touch the channel to the edge of the blood drop.
Be careful not to push the test strip against your fingertip or the test strip may not fill
completely.
NOTE:
• Do Not smear or scrape the drop of blood with the test strip.
• Do Not apply more blood to the test strip after you have moved the drop of blood away.
• Do Not move the test strip in your meter remote during a test.
CAUTION: You may get an ERROR 5 message or an inaccurate BG test result if the blood
sample does not fill the confirmation window completely. See Chapter 10 in Section II, pages
167–170. Discard the test strip and re-start the test process.
