Preparing The Meter And Test Strip; Applying Blood Sample - i-SENS CARESENS DUAL Owner's Booklet

Blood Glucose/Blood β-Ketone Testing
Check your ketone:
• When you have an illness,
• When your blood glucose is above 13.3 mmol/L,
• When you and your healthcare professional feel it is necessary.

Preparing the Meter and Test Strip

Step 7
Insert a test strip with
the contact bars facing
upwards into the meter's
test strip port. Push the
strip in gently until the
meter beeps. Be careful
not to bend the test strip.
The symbol will appear
on the screen. When you
insert KetoSens test strip,
the meter shows 'KETONE'
on the screen.

Applying Blood Sample

Step 8
Obtain a blood sample using the
lancing device. Place the device against
the pad of the finger. The best puncture
sites are on the middle or ring fingers.
Press the release button.

Remove the device from the finger. Wait a few seconds for
a blood drop to form. You need a minimum volume of 0.4
microliter for blood glucose test with CareSens PRO test strip
and 0.5 microliter for blood β-ketone test with KetoSens test
strip. (Actual size of 0.5 μL: )
Step 9
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 to place the test strip vertically into the
blood sample site as shown 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 start
from Step 2.
