2 Take a test
2. Wait for the channel to fill completely
The blood drop will be drawn into the narrow channel. The
channel should fill completely.
The channel turns red and the meter will count down from
5 to 1.
Blood should not be applied on the top of the test strip or
to the top edge of the test strip.
• Do Not smear or scrape the sample with the test
strip.
• Do Not press the test strip too firmly against the
puncture site or the channel may be blocked from
filling properly.
• Do Not apply more blood to the test strip after you
have moved the drop of blood away.
• Do Not move the test strip in the meter during a
test or you may get an error message or the meter
may turn off.
• Do Not remove the test strip until the result is
displayed or the meter will turn off.
