Applying the 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
lancing 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 9
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 blood sample
does not fill the confirmation window
completely, an Er4 message may appear
because of abnormal viscosity or
insufficient volume.
Then discard the test strip, insert a new
one, and apply the blood sample again
after symbol appears on the
screen.
