Check window
2.7 Inserting Test Strips into the Meter
Insert the test strip into the meter as described below.
1. With clean, dry hands, remove 1 test strip from
the aluminum pack.
NOTE
• Do not cover the check window with your fingers.
• Do not apply blood to the test strip before inserting it into the meter.
2. Insert the test strip fully into the test strip slot.
You will hear a beep when the meter turns on. A full display appears.
A flashing blood symbol and the most recent test result appear on the
screen.
Start blood sampling when the current date
and time appears.
NOTE
• For the mg/dL spec meter, "mg/dL" appears instead of "mmol/L".
• A test result with a thermometer symbol or a delete flag does not
appear as a previous test result.
• When 4 minutes and 30 seconds passes after inserting a test strip,
you will hear a beep every 5 seconds. The meter turns off
automatically after another 30 seconds. In this case, remove the test
strip once and insert it back into the test strip slot.
• If nothing appears on the screen, remove the test strip and insert it
back into the test strip slot. If there is no change, replace the battery. If
this does not work, contact your distributor.
• When an error code appears, refer to chapter 8 "If a Message
Appears" and take the necessary steps.
Chapter 3 Blood Sampling
3.1 Cautions on Blood Sampling
WARNING
• Use extreme care when handling blood. Incorrect handling can
cause you or people around you to be infected by pathogenic
microorganisms.
Follow these warnings to reduce the risk of infection.
CAUTION
• Do not share the same lancet or lancing device with anyone to
avoid the risk of infection by pathogenic microorganisms.
• Always use a new lancet. Lancets are for single-use only. Do not
reuse a lancet that you have already used.
• When puncturing a thin part of the body such as an earlobe, etc.,
do not directly support the rear of such part with your finger. (There
is a risk of puncturing your finger with the needle penetrating the
part of the body. This may cause an infection via blood. When there
is a possibility of penetrating through to the other side, consider
puncturing a thicker part of the body.)
3.2 Blood Sampling Method
For accurate test results, perform blood sampling as described below.
1. Disinfect the puncture site with alcohol cotton
pads, etc.
2. Let the alcohol dry thoroughly.
NOTE
Make sure the puncture site is dry. Otherwise it may lead to hemolysis.
3. Puncture with the lancing device.
NOTE
The method for using a lancing device is different for each one. Please
read the manual that comes with the device.
4. Press lightly around the puncture site to obtain
a small drop of blood.
5. Use clean gauze, etc. to wipe off the blood once.
6. Press lightly around the puncture site again to obtain a small drop of
blood.
WARNING
Always disinfect the puncture site to avoid the risk of infection.
After sampling blood, stop bleeding and protect the puncture site.
