3. Obtain a blood sample. (o)
Use the pre-set lancing device to puncture your desired site.
After penetration, discard the first drop of blood with a clean
tissue or cotton. Gently squeeze the punctured area to obtain
another drop of blood. Be careful NOT to smear the blood
sample. The volume of blood sample must be at least 1.1
microliter (μL) for blood glucose or at least 1.0 microliter(μL) for
β-Ketone.
4. Apply the blood sample. (p)
Hold the blood drop to touch the absorbent hole of the test
strip. Blood will be drawn in and after the confirmation window
is completely filled, the device begins counting down. Do not
remove your finger until you hear a beep sound.
5. Read your result. (q)
The results of your blood glucose test with HCT/ Hb levels or
the result of your β-Ketone test will appear after the meter
counts down to 0. The results will be stored in meter's memory
automatically.
Announcement of Test Result by Universal
Tone
The blood glucose results will be broken down into individual
digits and each digit represents the corresponding number of
beeps.
The result is announced three times in succession and each time
is preceded by two quick beeps. So you will hear: 2 quick beeps –
results – 2 quick beeps – results – 2 quick beeps – result.
For mg/dL meters, the hundreds are always announced, even
when the result is below 100.
Examples:
80 mg/dL is announced as 1 long beep (0) – 1 single pause – 8
single beeps (8) – 1 single pause – 1 long beep (0)
182 mg/dL is announced as 1 single beep (1) – 1 single pause – 8
single beeps (8) – 1 single pause – 2 single beeps (2)
For mmol/L meters, the tens are always announced, even when
the result is below 10. The decimal point is represented by 1 quick
beep.
Examples:
6.0 mmol/L is announced as 1 long beep (0) – 1 single pause – 6
single beeps (6) – 1 single pause – 1 quick beep (.) – 1 single
pause – 1 long beep (0)
Note:
Information or warnings in the form of symbols displayed
together with the results are not announced acoustically.
