Important:
• Make sure the apply sample symbols show on the display (alternating
test strip and blood sample).
• Use only one edge of the test strip per test.
• If blood is applied to both edges, you can get an inaccurate result.
• If you have performed a test using both edges of the test strip, repeat
the blood glucose test using a new test strip and a fresh blood sample.
Waiting for Result
• Do not lift the test strip up until you hear
one beep (if sound is turned on) or see the
short line moving clockwise on your meter
screen. This means you have enough blood
and the meter is reading your glucose.
• If after five seconds your meter does not
show a short line moving around the
display screen, the sample may be too small.
You may add blood to the same edge of the
test strip from which you started for up to
60 seconds from the time of the first
application.
• The test result is complete when you hear
two beeps (if sound is turned on). Your
blood glucose test result is shown on the
display screen.
• The time that the meter takes depends
on your blood glucose level. The higher
your glucose level, the longer it takes to
get a result. Results appear in an average of
7 seconds.
