CHAPTER 4 - TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE
2
Remove the test strip from its vial and immediately replace the vial cap and
close it tightly. With clean, dry hands, you may touch the test strip anywhere
on its surface. Do Not bend, cut or modify the test strips in any way. Use each
test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
Insert the test strip into the test port as shown. Make sure the three contact
bars are facing you. Push the test strip in as far as it will go. Do Not bend the
test strip.
An all-black start-up screen will be followed by an hourglass symbol and then
the Match Code screen.
Your meter remote will display the code number from your last test. If a
flashing "---" appears instead of a code number, such as when you are first
using your meter remote, follow the instructions below to change to a
numeric code.
NOTE: If you insert a test strip while your meter remote is in the middle of certain insulin delivery
procedures (e.g., delivering a Normal Bolus or the Normal portion of a Combo Bolus), you must either
allow that procedure to complete, or cancel the operation so you can continue with the test.

Match the code displayed on your meter remote with the code on the test strip vial
If the code on your meter remote does not match the code number on the test
strip vial, press to match the code number on the test strip vial. The new
code number will flash on the display for three seconds, after which the
display will advance to the Test/Apply Blood screen.
If the codes already match, press
When you do not make a change after three seconds, the display will advance
to the Test/Apply Blood screen.
Your meter remote is now ready to perform a BG test.
CAUTION: Matching the code on your meter remote and the code on the test strip vial is
essential to obtain accurate BG test results. Each time you test, check to make sure the code
numbers match.

Blood" is at the top of the screen you may test using a fingertip, forearm, or
palm blood sample.
