Waiting for Result

• D o not pull the test strip away from the
sample until one beep is heard or the short
line moving clockwise on the meter screen is
observed . This means the sample is adequate
and the meter is reading the glucose .
• If after five seconds the meter displays a short dotted line
moving back and forth on the display screen, an adequate
sample has not entered the test strip . Add more sample to
the same area of the test strip within 60 seconds from the
time of the first application .
