Step 1: Wash hands and the sample site with soap and warm water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wear appropriate protective gear such as disposable gloves.

Preparing the Meter and Test Strip

Step 2: Insert a test strip with the contact bars facing up into the meter's test strip port.
Push the strip gently into the strip port until the meter automatically turns on and
the symbol appears.
NOTE: We do not recommend using the memory feature including post-meal alarms, pre-set blood glucose or
averaging in a multi-patient setting. Results stored in the memory are not related to a specific patient.
Step 3: Obtain a blood sample using a lancing device. Place the lancing device
against the sampling site in the direction of the arrow. The best puncture
sites are areas on the middle or ring fingers. Remove the device from the
finger. Wait a few seconds for a blood drop to form. A minimum volume
of 0.5 microliter is needed to fill the confirmation window.
Step 4: After the
symbol appears on the screen, apply the blood sample to the
narrow end of the test strip until the meter beeps. If the confirmation
window is not filled in time because of abnormal viscosity or insufficient
volume, an Er4 message may appear. It is recommended that the application
of the blood sample to the test strip be performed virtually vertical to the
sample site as shown in the diagram.
NOTE: The meter will switch off if the blood sample is not applied
within 2 minutes of the
meter turns off, remove the strip, reinsert it, and start from Step 2.
Step 5: The test result will appear after the meter counts down from 5 to 1.
The result will be automatically stored in the meter's memory.
Step 6: Slide the ejector button on the right side of the
meter to discard used test strips safely in a
disposable container. If the test strip is removed,
the meter will automatically turn off after 3 seconds.
